Quick summary: A manga where an unlucky dude dies on sick bed. When his soul meets god, he asks for his second life to be a farmer to god gives him an all purpose tool and a healthy body for it. After a series of events he created a harem and founded a town, typical Isekai stuffs. Simply put, this manga is another isekai daily slice-of-life manga in a fantasy setting.
First, the art is not very good, I don't mind this very much but I wager it would turn a lot of people off.
Second, this manga tends to tell you the what is happening rather
...
then actually showing you what is happening. Without spoiling too much, an example is during one of the biggest moments of the mc's life, he was panicking, how did they show that he was panicking? Not by showing it through his expression, or his interaction with others during the event but by SAYING THAT HE WAS PANICKING. This killed any emotion and impact this event was suppose to have. It also didn't help that the transitions between events were so abrupt that I had to double check if I missed a page or two. It was basically something along the line of "this is a very important moment, anyway moving on."
Third, this "tell don't show" issue also greatly affects the pacing and characters. Characters and events constantly appeared and disappeared through narration without any memorable pay-off. Anything that might be interesting? Narrated. Interesting supporting character? quickly sidelined through narration. Character-developing moments? quickly glossed over through narration. Seriously I'm not exaggerating when I say about 70 - 80% of many chapters are just square/rectangle boxes of narrating stuffs with very few meaningful dialogues mixed in between.
Overall
I feel like I'm reading a report about a story rather then reading the story.
This is one of the few rare cases where if you are still interested in this premise then I would recommend checking the anime adaptation as it's much better.
