  The plants are becoming the stars - and that's okay!  No complaints, easy to read, just need MORE to read...  Hope the author finds his muse and will want to continue this story for long time!

  As of chapter 12. A great start, enjoyable characters, a bit of a glance of a larger plot in the background...
  The author obviously has his basics down. The game elements are not too obstructive either. It's just a question of seeing if the author can maintain the quality. There's an antagonist now,  we just need side characters now hopefully.
  A slight note, the MC, a farm boy, just killed quite a few people by now, but there wasnt much in terms of internal dialogue. A clear opportunity to comment and explain the MCs mindset and character missed.
  Overall I hope it continues at this pace, it's great!

  Fun story that I really hope the author comes back to finish. Really enjoying the concept for this one.

  The worst part about this story is how I was forced to stop binging after only 12 chapters. How dare the author!?
  Read it, it's good.

  Binge read up to date, like all the rest of us.
  Really worth the time and I strongly recommend it.
  The writer uses an intuitive writing style and you burn through the chapters fast.
  On top of that, some major credit is due for such a unique combat style and class for the protag. Kudos.
  Only gripe would be release speed.
  Twice a week? That's just cruel!

  I will not be suprised if this end up on the first page of rankings.  Very strong start and an intereting concept.
  Some critisism: The author needs to show and not tell so much.  Sometimes, it is better to hint at something rather than just tell the reader everything, especiallly in regards to developing characters.

  I like this story. Well written, no obvious spelling or grammar issues, and the story has enough unexpected scenarios to keep your interest as the main character grows and adapts to the world around him.
  I want to see what types of plants he'll make and how he'll end up contributing to the main plot.

  A good story, as of chapter 14 it isn't a revolutionary one that will blow your mind but it has an interesting idea, that while already done in several other stories, still manages to give it an interesting twist.
  I haven't seen any grammatic error,but that may be because i haven't read the chapters searching for them.
  The characters are good but they don't really "feel" alive, specially the family of the MC, but the story is barely starting and not every character is like that.
  But i still recommend to read it if you want to pass the time.

  It's always about story on RR, and this one has it, a true original.  There is nothing predictable about it, in a genra that is full of predictable. The grammar/structure is RR level, but that's what this site is all about really, free editing advice.
  I was drawn into this story from the get go, but its hard to wait months for updates.

  "Self-intelligent"
  Honestly, what? Just think about what's wrong with that phrase; I doubt I really need to tell you. That asinine phrase is repeated seemingly dozens of times. The level of thought that went into that repeated phrase choice does a remarkably good job of indicating the quality of the novel, though, so that's nice:
  In short, a junkfood novel. You won't remember it after reading it, but you won't get too irritated at the lack of quality as long as you don't pay too close attention to the actual content.
  The prose is relatively straightforward and the vocabulary rather unvaried, but that's par for the course of junkfood novels, so not necessarily a bad thing there. The grammar's not too shabby though, so that's a plus. Nowhere near perfect, mind you, but quite good by RRL standards
  The characters are... bad, frankly. Two-dimensional at best. That's about all there is to it; not a single one is memorable and even the MC reads more like a proxy for whatever shennanigans the writer feels like vicariously experiencing; I don't think he has a single character trait beyond 'wants to adventure' as of chapter 13. Most characters get a single, overt character trait, say their piece to make the scene, then the story moves on to the next stage. Couldn't tell you a single thing about the MC's family besides the facts that there are a couple siblings and his parents thought he was gonna be a farmer. That's about all there is to them, really.
  The story is simply nonexistent. As I said, the story plays out in something resembling scenes, but it's told in a way that they all happen immediately sequentially. I'll elaborate (I'm using different vocations to avoid directly giving away how the story goes): So, the MC starts as a farmer and wants to be a hero, yeah? Cool! He gets his super-MC-powers from His Holiness the Writer and heads out to adven- just kidding! His parents told him he was gonna farm, so he does. Oh well, guess we'll get to watch while he explores his ab
