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?

Way better than I imagined. First 2-3 chapters you will feel bored, but keep reading because then it becomes the best of slice of life stuff. The chicken story was spectacular.
This is one of the best slice-of-life novels I have read. A super fun read that will make you laugh out loud multiple times.
Hopepunk at its best.
Simplicity is difficult and some of the simple joys of life described in the book are really precious.
Highly recommended if you like Comfort Punk, Hope Punk Genre.
