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!

Featured Article: Best of the Year—The 12 Best Fantasy Listens of 2022


Between film, television, literature, and audio—2022 could easily be proclaimed the Year of the Fantasy, much to the delight of fans among us. But when it came to picking the best of the best, the glut of fantastic content also significantly increased the CR (challenge rating). This year’s winner edged ahead of the rest thanks to its atmospheric, suck-you-in (pun intended) audio experience, but every performance on this list transported us.

Refreshing Premise • Well-developed Characters • Heartwarming Tone • Clever Subversion • Balanced Humor • Perfect Pacing

I will try to avoid leaving an excessively long review here as this audiobook has been suitably praised by many, and it was released less than a week ago.

Suffice to say that this was an exceptionally good audiobook. I actually did laugh out loud which for me pretty much never happens. Usually when I see that comment in reviews it’s a red flag that the book is going to be juvenile and idiotic. But the success of the humor is more of an indication of the quality of the writing than to say that this is a specifically comedic work.

The characters are endearing and magnetic, the story is engaging, and the narration is so spot on that you forget that it’s there and it feels as though you are actually reading the story. Which is the highest praise that I think you can give to a narrator.

To put it plainly, if you are even considering listening to this title then it’s pretty much guaranteed to be worth your credit.

Impressive and unique.

This slice of life novel is set in a rich and compelling world filled with hidden masters, powerful spirit beasts, growing rice, and building snowmen.

The characters are charming and each one is well developed and nuanced, not just 2D characterizations.

I’m not usually into slice of life stuff but this one has surprising depth and charm. Definitely recommend giving it a chance!

Best Xianxia Novel in Years!

When you're 3 chapters in and, instead of hearing about the mc, you find yourself embroiled in the life or death honor duel of a fox and a rooster........and find you are thoroughly invested in said battle...... then you KNOW you've struck literary gold lolol. This story is the perfect blend of casual, action filled, and comedic. Do yourself a favor and get this book, it'll definitely put a smile on your face lol.

OMG!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A surprise for me. Basically a weird slice of life. The cultivator is very strong but just wants a simple life with his farm and neighbors. The animals on the farm learn to cultivate through him and believe that the farm (Faram) is basically like their empire and from time to time battle it out with invaders. Last thing to say, that is one bad ass chicken lol

Long live the Faram!

This is definitely not LitRpg. I'm not big on RPG books. Or books that are toned down a bit but still seem as though you are a bystander simply observing the MC participate in a video game like process. I love this book! It has a few direct winks and nods to that world but the uninitiated may not even notice them. Hell, I had to google what Xianxia was/meant. Wasn't familiar with the world of cultivation at all. Do not let that deter you! If you enjoy any form of fantasy involving magic/super hero/sorcery/etc, with humor and heart thrown in as bonus measures, you should take the chance. You may not enjoy it to the degree that I have, but I truly believe at minimum you'll close the app at the end and say, "Hmm, not too bad." So, in the end, you only risk not being entertained by skipping.

For the skeptic.

Sit back and bask in another time and another place, far away from the war and madness.
If you've ever dreamed of setting down the rat race, and taking up the tools of your reinvention, then this book will soothe your soul.

A story for our time

A good story. Nice to listen to an adventure book that doesn't have the MC constantly tripping his way from one battle to the next with no real time in between to flesh out any kind of real story to it. Also nice that the MC isn't all about "I must get more powerful, and fast" mentality. Refreshing.

Very good

I truly recommend this audiobook, if you are looking for a story to submerge yourself in that keeps you entertained and happy, this is a great choice.

The author brings the characters to life and makes you want to care about them, the MC just might be OP but he doesn't know it or think so, he just wants to live a peaceful life.

This is a slice of life fantasy romance and I hope there will be more books to come. Great Book, Two Thumbs Up!!!

A diamond in the ruff!
