Description

Somebody once told a joke.

A man ran in place all his life. He worked a job he didn't love for people he couldn't stand. But at the end of the day, the number in his bank account went up.

That man got a second chance at life. He woke up in another world, full of adventures and romances and monsters and gods. And floating above his head he saw the number "1".

So what did he say?

"Gosh I better make the number go up."

Not today. Not for this old soul. Reborn as a beast of battle meant to live a short life and die screaming, Garek refuses. He puts the madness of skills and levels behind him and sets out to found a little farmstead. He grows crops. Maybe someday he'll get a pig, and have bacon.

It's a shame the world won't let him be. It's a shame that the warmongers and level-grinders hate nothing more than a soul at peace.

He put down his sword for a plowshare, but when trouble comes calling, he'll pick it up again.Book 1 is now available on Kindle Unlimited!

I loved this book. I hope they have another 1000 chapters laid out I plan to follow till the end. Loved the protagonist race. Its an awesome slice of life with some heroic elements mixed in. So far I love the worldbuilding and hope the author has a lot more of what I've already read in store along with some surprises on the way. Keep up the good work and don't let the critics get you down always much easier to throw rocks at something than create something of your own.

This book is the slice of life of a farmer, and a big percentage of it is slow and methodic, like the protagonist.
But I wouldn't call the novel boring. There is shit storm brewing and you know, when fate knocks the door it's too late to jump through the window.
I recommend this book to everybody that is tired of big mouth, bratty protagonists. Our MC here is a hardworking, laconic and level headed man.
I mean, bull.

It's really well written. Great Grammar, great character development, great plot, great world building. At first I felt it was a close clone of existing stories on royal road but it really became it's own thing very quickly. ♥️
It has a buck load of wholesome content but is set in a grimdark setting with enough politics and epic battles sprinkled between the farming plot to surprise you and give you a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience.

One Moo'r Plow (great name) is your standard cozy farming story with a beefy twist. A man reborn as a minotaur wanting to run away from the world of violence decides to take up the plow. It's still a simple idea nonetheless but very well executed. Even still, the story is well-paced with plenty of new developments at every turn.
There is a system in the story, but the author does a good job keeping it from getting overbearing. You know what every skill does without getting bogged down in the specific wording. The more interesting part is how all these skills designed for combat can be useful in every day farming life. The prose is very punchy and quick to the point in general too.
The MC is pretty great and oddly my favorite. I'm usually more partial to side characters, but this simple farmer stuck in a minotaur just exudes charm. That said, the side characters are pretty strong too. It's rare to see a story of different races where they all mix well without much tension, definitely adds to the cozy atmosphere. Also, there's a bear-monster friend.
There were a few small faults in the grammar. Nothing egregious, just the occasional typo, but it really didn't detract from the story.
Overall, a very fun read if you like cozy farming or rampaging minotaur, a blend that somehow works in this story.

One Moo're Plow is a very entertaining and well written tale of a normal person finding himself in the body of a minotaur berseker and deciding 'to hell with it, I'm going for the quiet life'.
The characters are well written and likeable, and the story is developing nicely.
All in all a very good read that I'm looing forward to future updates.

It's good. It's a really fun story. I like the characters. It has some combat without being the main focus. I would suggest.
(I don't know what else to say to get to fifty words. Fifty words. fifty words. Fifty words. Fifty words. Fifty words. Fifty words. Fifty words. Fifty words.)

Loosely justified isekai wherein a minotaur berserker dies and a modern Earth human is mindswapped to take over the body. Combining his knowledge of modern farming with the skills and strength only a minotaur can provide, newly reborn Garek attempts to live the quiet life as a farmer in this classic fantasy setting. Great internal motivations, excellent character interactions, and a faster pace than most Slice of Life means I eagerly wait to see where this goes from here. Highly recommend!

Praise the bull and you won't get the horns.
A nice, snappy story about a minotaur who fucked off fighting and went farming. Pretty strong BoC influences can be seen from chapter 1, but it immediately distinguishes itself as (almost) everything around the farm is trying to rob or kill him and the fantastical farm animals are nowhere near helpful. Best case they are useless, lazy freeloaders and worst case they try to snack on your fingers as you try to farm them.
Some grammar and spelling mistakes can be seen, but nothing too glaring. The story follows a tried and true, albiet currently simple formula of the main character making it through the world with their own power. The characters are currently serviceable, and follow the well worn and loved tropes of the genre. I look forward to see how they develop and play off of each other.
It's rather system-lite compared to many other stories, only some quick explanations of what skills do without any heavy handed exposition or hard number walls. The perfect amount for anyone who doesn't obsessively keep track of those things for some reason.
Overall, I would consider this a good binge read to satiate fans of the farmer's litrpg.

Very amusing concept! Done well in Beware of Chicken, and done nicely enough here.
Why does anyone and everyone reborn in another world HAVE to go on an epic quest? Answer: no, they don't. Some people just wanna live their chill normal lives. And sometimes they wind up as minotaurs. farming minotaurs.

I have really enjoyed this story thus far, and I'm writing this review as an encouragement to the author. Keep going! Lots of people like your writing! I love it!
I love a good farming novel, and this definitley delivered.
Grammar: is well done, only having a few sentences that didn't make sense on first pass, and no spelling errors that I could see.
If the title interested you, the story will too. The fact that it doesn't have reincarnation in the title might be confusing, but I feel that it makes the MC far more relatable than most. the flow and structure of the published chapters is logical and easy to follow, with the minotaurs massive frame making for some of the more boring sections of other farming story's easier to digest. One event leads to another, questions regarding motive are non-existent.
Overall, i reccommend this story, I truly have enjoyed it and can't wait to keep reading. Thank you for the story!
