Think Stardew Valley crossed with a fantasy Kung Fu movie and you get Beware of Chicken! A cultivator (strong magical Kung Fu dude), Jin, retires from his sect and sets out to have a simple life as a farmer. Of course, things aren't always that simple.
- I adored the setting and the cosy vibes of this book. The descriptions of Xianxia, the farm, the village and the customs were awesome and really lovely.
- The found family aspect of this book was probably my favourite. Jin's hodge podge gang of animals and his relationship with Meimei were super cute and I loved the internal monolgues of the animals too. The courtship was lovely and gave me such gooey and happy Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley vibes.
- The magic system isn't really explained but feels similar to a lot of eastern religion and JRPG games and media. I'd love to learn more about it in future books.
Perfect for the farming simulation fan. I will try and read the next one soon.
