How Many Steps Does It Take to Turn a Ninja into a Farmer?

The player has explored a wide range of games and considers themself a gaming master.

One day, the player gets early access to a game: a highly open-ended farming sim called Konoha Life Simulation Game.

There are no guides for the beta, so the player starts figuring things out alone.

Day 1: The player collapses outdoors at two in the morning and loses a fortune. An unknown, well-meaning but morally dubious ninja carries the player back to a little cabin.

Day 5: The player goes to chop down trees, gets stopped by the village patrol, and has to pay a fine.

Day 20: While exploring the world map, the player gets hassled again, this time by a village elder with a gloomy expression.

Player: ...

Is this game really that hostile to players?

The player decides to establish the proper authority of a player in the village and put an end to the NPCs' overt and covert abuse.

First, the player builds relationships with the village's future pillars of strength, casting a wide net and collecting all kinds of junk and gifts to give different NPCs every day.

Next, the player works hard to expand the little farm into a thriving enterprise, branching out into all kinds of fields and industries.

Finally, the player ties up every red-name NPC who gets in the way and brings them back to work as farmers...

And so...

On day N, the player becomes king.

Note:

1. Told from the player's perspective, in a fourth-wall-breaking style, so there are persecution scenes!! Please don't read if that's not your thing.

2. It's a silly comedy. The author spends every day in bed memorizing memes, so don't expect airtight logic. Just enjoy the ride.

3. The male lead is undecided. The ending will be open or have multiple routes.

4. This is an XP project, with romance and plot split 50/50. Please don't read if that's not your thing.

5. Number five is reserved for...

6. Playing Stardew Valley in the ninja world, but the author has changed quite a few things.

7. The focus is on a harmonious society, and characters can be saved from death (who understands how everyone you root for in Naruto dies?).

8. There are a great many male love interests. The player is a durian: thorny on the outside, soft on the inside.

9. If you're okay with all that, please add it to your collection. Pretty please! (puppy eyes)
