Publisher's Summary

A laugh-out-loud, slice-of-life martial-arts fantasy about...farming????

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body.

Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here.

Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster. I’m not used to seeing a chicken move with such grace...but Qi makes everything kind of wonky, so it’s probably fine.

Instead of a lifetime of battle, my biggest concerns are building a house, the size of my harvest, and the way the girl from the nearby village glares at me when I tease her.

A slow, simple, fulfilling life in a place where nothing exciting or out of the ordinary ever happens...right?

The first volume of the blockbuster progression-fantasy series—with more than 16 million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Hidden gem

Can’t wait till the next one. Loved the whole f-you chunboi style that still uses the tropes for the side characters to great comedic effect.

Why was this so good?!

For a book with such a ridiculous name I enjoyed this immensely. It is a funny, entertaining and engaging story with loveable characters and what feels like is going to be a great adventure in future books. The narration is fantastic, I wouldn’t expect anything less from Travis Baldree who is a fantastic narrator. Worth a surprising 5 stars. Loved it!

Good light-hearted story

Good fun, casual but interesting take on another world setting.
Liked the humor and relationships between all the people and animals. Narrator did a good job bring it all to life.

Unexpectedly warm

This took me by surprise. I expected it to be good but it was more than just good, it was sweet and wholesome and just so cute!
It was easy to read, the chapters were nice and bite sized, it was always engaging and the characters are all fun and loveable in their own ways.

Gentle farming adventures

I listened to the whole thing in a single day. Excellent voice work and a funny, gentle and heartwarming story. I am desperately waiting for the next installment!

A new GOLD standard for the genre

Original, funny and highly entertaining, expertly walking the line between the mundane and the insane. Impossible to tell where it will go next. Intensely interesting and likeable characters, despite the ridiculous situations they are placed in they always feel real and relatable. While the fantastical world feels grounded within its only logic giving it weight.

Highly Recommend.

Surprisingly Amazing!!!

I put off listening to this book for about a year... thinking I wouldn't be keen on the whole premise. but what I found was Amazing, I couldn't stop listening, it's not like a LIT RPG. It reminds me of a much more comforting Animal farm by George Orwell, crossed with a fantasy book. some of the more descriptive or spiritual parts of the book can be felt and seen in your minds eye, with beautiful descriptions and small parts of deep emotion that almost made me tear up. Each character has a clear but growing personality that really connects you with the characters' life. a lot of writers tend to place their views on the world or so narrowly flesh out the characters' personality that it seems a slightly different mirror of the same thought patterns. but each character in this felt wholly different and well thought out. The story doesn't go too fast nor too slow. To conclude, I didn't think I would like this book, but I did (very much)
