Dammit - I thought that after Dungeon Crawler Carl and Heretical Fishing, I would be done with LitRPG, but no - then I had to read this one and it was so lovely. I mean, I am mildly jealous that my Frenchie has no change of turning into a spirit beast and that beware of chicken doesn't have quite the same meaning on my own farm, but I loved this story. A good guy who just wants to make the world a better place without some kind of massive trauma baggage is rather refreshing as a main character and the people he meets along the way are also just a delight. But truly, come for the people and stay for the spirit beasts - trust me.

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 20 million views on Royal Road--now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!
