Beware of Chicken

About This Audiobook

A transmigrator wakes up in the body of Jin Rou, bullied outer disciple of a cultivation sect, considers the genre-standard revenge arc — and quits instead, fleeing to farm in the Azure Hills, the weakest spiritual region on the map. The joke is that he can't stop cultivating by accident: his qi seeps into the land, and suddenly his rooster Bi De is having midnight epiphanies under the moon and out-cultivating veteran sect elders. Beware of Chicken is the cozy xianxia subversion — 16 million Royal Road views before it ever hit audio, then Audible's Best of Fantasy 2022 once it did. The rotating POVs between Jin and his increasingly enlightened farm animals are the secret weapon; Bi De's chapters are the best thing in the book. If you need plot momentum, the meandering will test you. Stakes here are measured in harvests. Baldree's comic timing is trademark-grade. 11.2K ratings at 4.9, and hands-down the most relaxing thing on the site.
