If you don't like farming and agriculture novels, close the tab. This is like 12+ farming novels condensed into one megalith. If you have to skip farming to read this, why on earth are you reading a farming novel in the first place? This novel's title is absolutely accurate. She transmigrates into cannon fodder. Her system shows up. She farms/does something else tangentially agriculture related (farming, winemaking, perfume crops, bamboo crafts, eco-resorts, ranching, growing medicine, growing flowers, growing spices... in short, a lot of growing). And then she does it all again.It's like a 4.6 for the farming novel genre. The overarching plot is basically irrelevant. Romance exists in some of the arcs, but overall, is more of a somewhat perfunctory side plot; the ML is sometimes just a tool-man. Sometimes she gets a wholesome family, sometimes she gets a dogblood plot family. Sometimes they matter, and sometimes they don't.Either way, she's going to farm. And that farming is also the highlight of this novel. I think it's nice and has an interesting variety of options. One arc is being a rancher in New Zealand, for example, and that's also the main arc where she spends most of her time out of China/fantasy China. Most of the people in New Zealand were portrayed as perfectly friendly, so I don't really understand where the other reviewer is getting "disses other countries" from.Sure, they aren't as OP as her, but... the MC is 1) the Main Character, 2) probably well over a thousand years old with multiple lifetimes of knowledge, and 3) has an OP system on hand. It's kind of hard to be more OP than her. She also wins competitions all the time because... well... it should be obvious why, right?I actually liked the fact that it faithfully sticks to farming/farming related tasks in every arc. The food is also pretty good; it's not a foodie novel because farming is definitely, 100% the main theme, but food's often present and described well.Each sub-plot is fairly engaging (although I think some of the arcs could've been extended instead of being wrapped up so quick, but that's QT for you), but the really, really big caveat is that you have to like reading about farming. If you don't, it's already over. If you have to skim past farming, don't bother; you're missing the whole point.Reading this novel and skimming the farming is like going to Olive Garden, ordering pasta, exclusively eating the cilantro on top, and then complaining about the pasta being shit. Just close the tab and save your time.
