How to Succeed in Monster Farming After Getting Rejected by the Hero Guild Publisher's Summary

The first book in an action-packed, witty LitRPG series about a regular giu given a farm to cultivate when the world told him he would never be a hero. But when he proves more resourceful than anyone expected, he draws the attention of some very dangerous monsters to his farm....

Nick was just your average overworked accountant…until he got isekai’d and then immediately rejected for “lacking hero potential.” Instead of a prophecy or a sword, he’s given a rundown farm in a cursed wasteland where seventeen previous owners died horribly. Lucky him.

But Nick isn’t as helpless as he looks. With mysterious strength, an eye for optimization, and a knack for flipping curses into perks, he starts rebuilding Blackthorn Farm from the ground up. What was once a death trap becomes a booming operation complete with monster livestock, magical crops, and an eclectic crew that includes a former elven slave turned manager, killer birds for security, and a shape-shifting dragon named Petunia.

As his power grows and the land begins to thrive, Nick draws attention from nobles, mages, and forces that might not be entirely mortal. Blackthorn Farm has secrets tied to a forgotten disaster, and Nick might be the only one who can uncover them…assuming he can survive the attention.
