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!

unsure why it's so highly rated
apart from the focus on the farm I don't know what's good about the story.
it's pretty boring and generic, the writing is fully tell with no show is a sortof flowery way e.g.
combat is like 'he beat them using intelligent techniques' and not saying what these techniques are.
similar writing to the realms. I felt it was a below average litrpg

Brilliant
I picked this up thinking it would be a standard cultivation book with a bit of comedy. It's so much more. The plot totally disregards standard cultivation books, it's full of comedy and I kept grinning like an idiot while listening to it. I really recommend this. Amazing narration and story.

A Sweet Farm Adventure
It was a really nice story about a guy who starts a farm and a family. The power mechanics are cool, they very detailed but it does feel like the system is well defined. It's just a nice, fun book.

Great story, Great narration
I have been aware of beware of chicken for around 2 years after seeing it on RR but never got around to reading it, once I saw travis had performed it the decision to purchase was a no brainer. Interesting story with some fun pokes at xianxia tropes, an enjoyable read even if you aren’t a fan of the genre.

Loved it from start to finish.
The narration and story were both excellent. I normally listen to audiobooks while doing other things, but I got so into this that I started putting other things aside to just listen to this. On to the next one!

funny, gentle and profound!
I loved the story so much that I read it twice, then bought the audio book so I could listen to it for a third time.
love the characters, the progression, the philosophies the style. I was a little put off by the user of quite a few swear words in the first chapter but they are not continued and the language and attitude grows with the story in proper cultivation style!
