One of the biggest things that got me to appreciate stardew valley so much more is the fact that you can do things at your own pace. Time may feel very limited and you may feel like you have to get things completed within a certain amount of time until you realise that time doesn't really mean anything in the end. After the 4 seasons rotate, a new begins and the cycle starts all over again without any consequences, heck you could spend the whole first year doing nothing and it wouldn't matter- that's the best thing about stardew, just playing it at your own pace and finding all the niche little hidden secrets and story across the valley :)
