It feels very much like a lighter version of what Lost Ark offers as its own equivalent to Island Sanctuary. Yet over there not only can you place furniture in Lost Ark's version there's the option to invite and place NPC's that you befriend during the game's story as well.

I hope future patches add more things to do and that more rewards are offered that aren't overly 'cutesy'. Once you're done with the initial introduction it very quickly becomes another gated daily chore with lengthy timers and a steep grind. I was hoping for more opportunities for direct engagement.

Maybe they could add a cave that you descend and fight enemies like in Stardew Valley...?
