Beware of Chicken 2: A Xianxia Cultivation Novel

Product Information

You’re gonna do great,” he whispered and clapped Xian on the shoulder. He smiled warmly, and there was absolute confidence in his voice. All of his worries were, of course, unfounded. His village would not have abandoned him or left him to his own devices. Hmm, the more I write this the more negative things I have to say. Positive stuff comes in the form of character interactions and side character growth. The dialogue is pretty good and the world-building is good enough for what we've seen so far, not that we've seen much. The various animals' shape-shifting was an interesting development that I think should have been focused on more.

Bi De stood in his place on the front of the sleigh, his dapper red hat trailing behind him. The wind coursed over his wings as they sped through the tunnel of evergreen boughs laden with the heavy snowfall from the wintery night. Below him Brother Chun Ke and Sister Pi Pa pulled the sleigh to its destination. Chun Ke wore his magnificent horn, to show respect to the original qilin who had pulled the great sage San Ta’s sleigh, while Pi Pa’s red-painted nose was a beacon in the mists, a light that cut through the darkness. Which put Yun Ren firmly on the bottom of the pole. Oh, they were being nice about it, but he knew he wasn’t as good as them. He likely never would be. The sword wasn’t his passion. Even if he may never be as good a fighter as Tigu or Xiulan, he did want to learn something of swordsmanship. He would at least be able to defend himself. He had his own plans, after all. The walk they did looked a bit silly, though. The wide, sliding steps that were performed in half crescents, almost like a dance itself. Normally, most people just waited up at the shrine for Father, but tonight they were lining the pathway. The story had some minor grammatical errors, but they weren't so often that they pulled me out of the book-reading trance.

Looking forward to seeing the developing villian Zang Li get his. Its interesting that even Lu Ri didnt see that he is a "body snatcher". I really enjoyed the way that Elder Xiao Ge of the Cloudy Sword Sect cleaned house and instructed Chen Li the disciple that actually killed Jin Ru on the proper method of "trading pointers" with disciples that are junior to him. He then proceded to instruct Chen Li and others in proper decorum. Love the way that the author painted cultivators as power corrupted jerkoffs and has the MC and his cohort not beating them down, but instead just being decent people. The supporting cast life solely revolves around Jin, the main character, and makes everyone feel one-dimensional. Jin is strong and kind despite the history in this world generally saying a cultivator is a horrendous person, so anyone who meets him is pleasantly surprised. Though, it just never ends with the exception of 1 character mid-way, who then ends up being the same.

I’m not worried though. Sometimes trouble finds you. And while I may not be a master cultivator . . . trouble should know better than to mess with a farmer.Maybe that was one of the reasons for the ritual? So the leaders of the village would reflect upon their duties, in this moment before the hardest physical challenge most of them would face all year. His son had been training very hard for this moment. He had trained diligently and without the goading he normally required.
