Join Hildegarde on her journey to build up her dilapidated Ranch on the edge of the Frontier, create a thriving farmland, house many different species of Demi Humans, and of course... breed quite a few of them too~! Sustaining herself and her partners, can Hildegarde survive by herself out on the edge of the Frontier, where monsters and bandits roam around freely looking to prey on the weak? Author's Note: THIS IS FUTANARI, YURI, AND FEMALE ONLY!!! This is a smut book alongside being a Survival/Farm Sim/ Life Sim type of novel, so understand that there will be sex, breeding, pregnancy and more; additionally, the Demi Human's are treated like a different race compared to Humans, and as such it may be uncomfortable for some to read about. There WILL be some scenes that will likely bring up that discomfort, as well as other discomforts, but there won't be anything incredibly dark within the novel, so don't worry about that; besides that, yes, this novel will have a story alongside the 'plot', so I hope I can do well with that too lol~! Come on in, enjoy, and if this doesn't sound like something you would like to read, please, don't force yourself; I want to value your time as much as I value my own. PLEASE do not spam comments, don't be rude for the sake of being rude, and do not feel the need to announce your own departure; if you have criticisms, I am open to hearing them because that is something I can improve from, but being rude and not offering criticisms is not welcome.
