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

Play the game. Fix the world. Don’t fall in love.

Lola was good at playing the game. Straight A’s. Endless tutoring sessions. Zero trouble. So when her dream school rejects her in favor of a rich idiot, Lola realizes something horrifying: the system isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as designed.

Heartbroken and furious, Lola accidentally stumbles upon a hidden sub-basement at a party containing a strange retro PC game. When a mysterious voice whispers, “You’ll do,” she’s dragged straight into the screen.

Now trapped inside a cozy farming simulator, Lola learns there’s only one way home: restore magic to the town by doing what she does best. Winning.

Lola throws herself into farming crops, completing quests, and maxing out relationship points. But when terrifying monsters attack and the game itself starts glitching, winning suddenly gets a lot more complicated. Especially with Cale, the perfect NPC boyfriend built to help her succeed, and Reed, the hot but grumpy museum curator hiding secrets that could change everything.

But Lola has never lost a game before.

Manic Pixel Farm Girl is a LitRPG story that blends YA romance with immersive video-game mechanics in a cozy farming simulator.
