It was right against my chicken coop, so I could hear if there were any predatory interlopers during the night, but the foxes and the wolves had yet to notice my intrusion, and the prey animals that I had. Our main character is lovable and charming with a hidden depth to him that is so close to the surface its easy for characters to miss it; hiding in plain sight. Jin Rou didn’t want to be part of the struggle and greed of being a cultivator, striving to reach the heavens at the expense of smashing everything else down.

Plus, everything felt like it was trying to get the perfect set-up for volume 2, so a lot had to happen in a condensed time frame with no care for the overall pacing. One where you live a simple life, far removed from the politics and noise of the city, loving the land so much that the land loves you right back. Dear old Jin was essentially a servant right now anyway, and had to do every task that the other people offloaded onto him, while harboring vengeance and hate and angst.This is also a story where your farm cat turns into a human so she can enter the martial arts tournament and your koi fish that washes the dishes fights a giant turtle so he can turn into dragon and your chicken goes on a quest to reach the next level of understanding in his cultivation journey.

I had considered the possibility I had been fucked over, and asked the locals about this place, but nope. The first volume contains a lot of happy coincidences that tend to get underwhelming and dull since luck is always on their side. Beware of Chicken may not be perfect, but I absolutely love the characters, the story, the way it's written, and I'm currently re-reading the chapters that were published so far, while waiting for new chapters with baited breath.

In a later one though a similar exchange is described like this: ‘Two forms blurred through the night, cutting across the forest like dervishes. The story is told partly in first person but often moves to other points of view, even within the same chapter.

The story is a decent twist on the genre (a cultivator works as a farmer, while his farm animals go through the usual Xianxia storyline), but the execution is not good. 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.
