Everybody was kung-fu farming...

Beware of Chicken by Casualfarmer is the first volume in the series by the same name. 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. What is his society's idea of a cultivator? One who practices the cultivation of qi in combination with mastering martial arts and tends to be a total jerk to anyone else who is considered weaker than themselves. I see why Jin rejected the idea.

This was definitely a case of the right book at the right time. Apparently I needed a fantasy slice-of-life about a cultivator who rejected the traditional cultivation route and decided to farm instead. Turns out that farming is a powerful way to cultivate even if no one realizes it! So many funny, laugh out loud moments in the story. Plus I loved all the animal points of view!

I listened to the audio book narrated by Travis Baldree. I think Travis had fun working on this one, especially with how he did the animal's voices.

It's straight on to Volume 2 for me. ( )
