I read a book like that! The genre is apparently "LitRPG", where the protagonist is sucked into a game. In this one he goes into a farming game in VR or something.

I'm going to throw my own book, Tallrock in the ring. There is numerical health/damage, and the MC thinks he wants to be self-sufficient, but...that doesn't really happen. I'll hopefully begin working on the sequel before the new year.
