About this listen

Once feared as the Dark Lord, I now seek a fresh start as a humble farmer.

Isekaied into a level 86 Necromancer-King's body, I leave his life of war behind in favor of peace in the idyllic Borderlands. Upon meeting the elven maiden Narya Summerdew and a razor-toothed half-elven child, the three of us form an unlikely improvised family in the hopes of remaining anonymous.

As we embrace the eccentric community of Gelderham, we find happiness in simplicity…But my past casts shadows on our growing bonds. How will Narya react when she learns her new husband was once the evil king set on destroying her people?

In this heartwarming tale of farms, villages, side quests, and level progression, unexpected bonds help a trio of charming characters learn the importance of love and family as secrets are unveiled and hearts are healed.

Dark Lord of the Farmstead is a cozy slice-of-life LitRPG. Enjoy a wholesome story fit for people who enjoy slow life fantasies with lower-than-average stakes and fun but flawed characters that you can’t help but fall in love with.

Jonathan Waters and Jessica Threet deliver one of the best performances I've heard. This audiobook's story is fun and at times cozy with its content, which is likely what you're looking for from just reading the description. I really enjoyed this one. It's not corny or in bad taste at all. I think most people will agree this is a worthwhile title to engage with. Although I am not a fan of LitRPG or any of its D&D likeness, I think aside from that the world is interesting and the characters are effective in their roles.
Definitely considering on listening to the sequel and following up to the conclusion if this level of quality remains.
If this title didn't contain any of the 'system' nonsense that seemingly all fantasy novels are expected to contain nowadays, I would rate it a flawless 5/5 across all metrics. I don't think having an RPG system style progression element was necessary given the context of the story and its direction. The 'combat' doesn't feel like it warrants such a thing, either.

Very solid performance and decent story

it's an interesting spin on the usual isekai plot, where instead of going on some grand adventure, the mc immediately leaves the spotlight and settles down. the interaction between the two main characters is compelling, and a cute romance. I'm definitely interested to see where the series goes.

a great, wholesome, fantasy slice of life

The interaction between character is amazing and lovely. Both narrator are great and made me love the character even more

so cozy

Very fun and engaging story! Take a spin on the Isekai trope adding some farming/social game tropes, although I do feel like sometimes the Stardew-like system is a little heavy handed and takes you away from the immersion.

Very fun
