    A gentle push, a world-building/farming genre story. Survival, farming, infrastructure development, a vast world, political intrigue, mystery, hardcore elements, and slow, detailed development—lots of elements in total. The pacing might be a bit slow, but fans of the farming genre shouldn't miss it. New book launch, gentle push~~
