About this listen

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!

Great story and a good subversion of some of the common tropes. I thought the humour was generally on point and the characters were good too. It could have perhaps done with a slightly smaller cast of animals as some of those felt skipped over somewhat later on.

I did enjoy the slice of life styling of the book but without any real adversity the plot occasionally dragged a bit. That said, I zipped through this in a couple of days because it was so enjoyable.

Baldree's narration was fantastic too.

Great book - Highly recommend

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.

Brilliant
