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.

Out in the middle of nowhere, I've managed to escape a life of cultivation and politics. Until now, that is. I guess it was inevitable they caught up with me eventually. I haven't exactly been subtle. You know, what with the talking animals performing heroics all over the Azure Hills and Xiulan constantly calling me a Hidden Master.

A part of me wants to run away again. The memory of my death still haunts my dreams. But this is my home now. And I'll be damned if I give it up without a fight.

I mean, all I have to do is learn how to navigate xianxia politics and train for battle while simultaneously running my farm and uncovering an ancient cataclysm that apparently destroyed the Azure Hills back in the day.

Meanwhile, I'm about to be a father . . . Man, I'm kinda screwed, aren't I? At least I can call in the cavalry—ahem, poultry—to help.

The fourth volume of the blockbuster progression-fantasy series—with more than 20 million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Unfortunately this book seems to be getting worse. The storie is still go and I'm still enjoying the book but it's no where near as funny as book one. I still plan on continuing this series but not looking forward to the next book like I did with the previous.

Still a good book

tl;dr: Less slice-of-life, much world-building, plot lines resolved, character growth in spades, can’t wait for the next one.

Here’s how I rank the books in the series from best to least favourite: 3, 1, 2, 4.

While I rank this book least amongst the series so far, it’s packed full of fantastic world building and plot development.

What lost points for me is that the slice-of-life aspect took a step back; while I appreciate that the author wouldn’t want to repeat content, as that wouldn’t feel particularly satisfying, it felt like the author was rushing to fit in various plot points (which were great). I wanted to see certain side characters overcome their challenges in more detail.

That said, this book still has some solid character development, but I don’t want to give anything away, so I’ll say no more about it.

With the new perspective that this book gives us, I’m excited to see where the series takes us next, especially as there’s at least one event that I’ve been eagerly anticipating for a while now!

Another great installment however it would have been nice for some of the less known characters to have a bit of the lime light

Another great installment

Well worth the wait. Fa-Ram has become my happy place, and I'm probably going to re-listen to the previous books now.

So wholesome.
