Manic Pixel Farm Girl: A Litrpg Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780063578777)

This cozy LitRPG romance novel is perfect for fans of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman!

Lola has always known how to win--at least on paper. As a kid, she's survived by gaming real life: perfect grades, flawless recommendations, zero attachments. When she lands a full-ride scholarship to her dream college, she's finally beaten the system.

Then she falls asleep in the back of a late-night Uber... and wakes up on an abandoned farm inside a game-coded valley.

A blunt system voice informs her: DON'T PANIC PIXEL FARM GIRL. Restore the land. Complete quests. Level up your skills. Build relationships. Win, and she can go home.

Fine. Lola can optimize anything.

She min-maxes crops, speed-runs seasonal festivals, grinds side quests for rare seeds, and climbs the leaderboard faster than anyone the valley has ever seen. The farm flourishes. The town brightens. For the first time in her life, she owns something that can't be taken away.

There's just one variable she didn't account for.

Odin, her maddeningly steady neighbor, seems determined to help her succeed--whether that means repairing fences at dawn, defending the valley from creeping threats, or quietly challenging the way she treats life like a spreadsheet. Forced proximity turns into lingering looks, shared harvests, and a relationship meter Lola can't quite control.

Because if she wins, she gets her old life back.

But if she stays... she keeps the farm, the valley, and the first place that's ever truly felt like home.

And Lola has never lost a game before.

Perfect for fans of:

• Slutty little glasses
• Farming Simulator Games like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley
• Hot grumpy nerds
• Slow-Burn, Forced Proximity Romance
• Books like Dungeon Crawler Carl and Legends & Lattes
