Description
Bale, a young boy born into a family of Holy Knights, is given a worn wooden sword during the 《Divine Granting Appraisal Ceremony》, a ritual where the gods bestow items upon young people to determine their future occupations. This seemingly useless item makes Bale a laughingstock to those around him. His enraged father berates him as a disgrace to the family, and Bale is eventually kicked out of his home after his younger cousin Dirk, who received the legendary Holy Sword, takes his place. —however, Bale is secretly overjoyed by this turn of events. He realizes that he has been transported into the world of a browser game he used to play, and that the 《Dragon Tree Sword》, which everyone else ridicules, is actually the key to a fun and fulfilling life in this new world. Free from the shackles of his family’s strict expectations, Bale decides to use his knowledge from his previous life to live freely as a farmer. He utilizes the power of the Dragon Tree Sword to create a farm not on flat land, but in a hidden dungeon. There, he spends his days peacefully cultivating vegetables alongside a growing group of girls with their own unique backgrounds. He eventually signs an exclusive contract with a renowned merchant on the continent and gains the respect of an influential magic researcher, all while maintaining his carefree lifestyle. However, unbeknownst to him, his leisurely days are about to come to an end as he gradually gains a reputation as one of the strongest knights in the land…

My Thoughts on Dungeon Farm
Alright, let's dive into "Dungeon Farm." The premise definitely snagged my attention – the idea of combining dungeon crawling with farming is unique and has a lot of potential. So, I went in with high hopes, ready for a fun blend of action and slice-of-life.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued. The early chapters set up an interesting world with some familiar fantasy elements. There's a certain charm to the concept of someone trying to cultivate resources within a monster-infested environment. However, that initial spark started to dim as I progressed.
What Works Well
The core concept is undoubtedly the strongest point. The author clearly has a vision for merging these two genres, and when it works, it's quite enjoyable. There are moments where the "slice of life" aspect shines through, providing a relaxing contrast to the dungeon delving. The translation quality also seems solid, making for a smooth reading experience.
Areas of Concern
Sadly, the execution doesn't always live up to the initial promise. I found myself wanting more depth in several areas. The story leans heavily on well-worn tropes, and while familiarity can be comforting, it also means the narrative rarely surprises you. The characters, particularly the MC, felt somewhat underdeveloped. I struggled to connect with him on a deeper level, and his passivity made it difficult to root for him at times. I also felt the storyline was a little too simplistic. I think the author could benefit from exploring the implications of events in the story and the powers of the characters more deeply.
Final Verdict
"Dungeon Farm" is a decent read if you're looking for something light and easy to digest. The farming-in-a-dungeon concept is a fun twist on familiar fantasy elements. However, be prepared for a story that prioritizes simplicity over complexity, and don't expect groundbreaking character development. It has potential, but it needs more depth and nuance to truly stand out in a crowded genre. It's a 3 out of 5 for me – enjoyable in moments, but ultimately leaves you wanting more.
