Steve doesn't know who he is.Or who he was.He doesn't know anything, actually.Not even where he is.Other than a vast open field of dirt.All Steve knows is that he's apparently supposed to build a farm. At least that's his only workable assumption. Given the number of farm-tools left to him. That and the massive number of sacks full of seeds.Unfortunately, this isn't even the strangest part of this new life.Hidden inside the farm tools, Steve finds messages. Messages that appear in floating windows in front of him.Messages from his past self, telling him that he'd already failed once.But he has no idea what he actually failed at. Or how he can succeed this time.Beyond all this, and unfortunately for Steve, the world just underwent a radical change. A change that's going to have Steve fighting the undead, bandits, nature, and even himself. All while the world falls down around him.And the only weapon he has is an axe.Warning and minor spoiler: This novel contains graphic violence, undefined relationships/harem, unconventional opinions/beliefs, and a hero who is as tactful as a dog at a cat show. Read at your own risk.

Seriously this man can write amazing
I love Randi Darren, Yes more than William and wild wastes is one of the best series I have ever read.
How can he formulate this kind of great ideas? The world building is super fantastic and great even though it's a little bizarre (not really, LOL).
Absolutely loved every character especially Kass the snake.
Now, I am dying for the next book!
I'm an idiot.
Why do I keep reading these? Every main (male) character is exactly the same as all the others in this shared universe: a huge asshole that specifically says things like, “Don't care. Someone else figure it out” repeatedly...yet basically does whatever he wants anyway. Every supporting (female) character is exactly the same as some other female character in one of the other books.
Only the premise changes. Since this one was sort of like a Civ or Rimworld type setting, and the previous one was a dungeon-core setting, I thought perhaps things would be changed up enough to keep it interesting in my hunger for some good litrpg. Nope. Literally all the same character archetypes just thrown into a slightly different start, but seemingly all headed to similar conclusions. Unless they are these Randi Darren penname books, then you get the added bonus of being able to skip several pages at a time (all the “juicy” parts–hah!) throughout the book (unless you're a teenage boy I suppose).
If it weren't for all the potential tie-ins with Runner along the way (who was also a huge asshole), I can't think of a single good reason to keep reading these. Yet I still do; thus, I'm an idiot.
