Beware of Chicken 2: A Xianxia Cultivation Novel

Product Information

They have been handed both power and the ability to use it and seeing what they decide to do with said power is what makes this second book fascinating.

They move forward, and forward some more, with occasional new threats appearing that become mini-episodes in the larger tale. With a few coins generously given by the Chief of the Sect and a plan, he decides to make a good life, a better life than in the Before, for his sake and for Rou's.Filled with fire and a drive that saw him picking up every task he could, and doing the ones forced on him without complaint. It is a casual cultivation story where the main character, Jin, rejects his society's vision of what it means to be a cultivator and go live a quiet life on a farm with his animals. Our main character is lovable and charming with a hidden depth to him that is so close to the surface its easy for characters to miss it; hiding in plain sight. I am happy I changed my mind because even though yes it's about farming it's also about so much more.

All in all, what starts as a cozy ride with endearing characters evolves and grows as the world starts to take notice of a new power. It wasn't anything spectacular, but it would keep the elements off me, and the bugs at bay, with it's thatch roof and pounded dirt floor. Le rêve de Jin se réalise : avec une ferme toujours plus impressionnante (peut-être un peu trop pour ses souhaits de discrétion) et des animaux qui s'éveillent à la sentience tous les 4 matins, Jin vit enfin sa vie de fermier tant attendue. We learn early that the protagonist is from our world, but few details beyond that he's familiar with Xianxia stories and feels like he is in one. Now also include Farmcore/survival/climb the tech tree/crafting elements and little touches of a dozen other flavors, wink at the camera, and occasionally lighten things up with insights of profound wisdom.

Thank you for your hard work thus far and this "review" is just me ranting a bit because its just so damned a rare and pleasant suprise to actually be suprised I feel, especially from a genre thats been at my "avoid 9 times out of 10" regardless of any positivity surrounding the work. So he goes from being the least of a powerful sect to the most powerful guy around in a sector of the world he chose for its lack of people/things who might xianxia the place up.

I'd have to go to the town Archive at some point, but considering it was here, it probably wasn't very rare or important. While he works on the farm by planting rice and building himself a small house, he meets the locals in the nearby town as well as people and animals coming out of the nearby forest. The main character on the first page referring to himself in the 3rd-person confused me, and I didn't get why all of sudden there was a modern personality inhabiting his body after a couple pages of formal Chinese fantasy-style dialogue.In my opinion I think expert xianxia readers should definitely give this a try, as in my opinion i believe this to be a breath of fresh air after all those absurd plotlines. Casualfarmer started writing after listening to his parents’ stories on their long drives to visit relatives. And I'm getting the fuck out of here, and far away from all the sword formations and Grand demonic dick punches or whatever the fuck these chuuni bastards spout. I seem to have exposed myself to a lot of stories with heavy themes, high stakes, nasty characters, and hard times.

Sure it's ostensibly an isekai cultivation story but unlike most of those, the focus is on the characters and what a great cast Casualfarmer has created for us.

This one is from Canada in the present day, and wants to bring some modern amenities to his life in medieval Xiansia China. Apart from a rocky first chapter that seems to rush through the initial scenes (which may be by design), the book really started to pull me in. But that's okay, because the clean, straightforward and well-written prose produced an enjoyable reading experience as the inital story developed. For any Xianxia novel I've long held a sort of knee-jerk reaction and hard to keep under control absolute sense of imminent dissapointment.
