Beware of Chicken 2

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.

And you know what? Things ain’t actually all that bad.

I mean, last year was pretty hectic. I died, got reborn, ran away from my sect and ultimate power, started a farm, made some friends, awakened all my animals into Spirit Beasts so now they’re running around talking and getting into life-and-death battles with super-powered bandits . . .

Oh! And I got married. Pretty neat, huh?

Well, this year, after the Spring Planting season, I’m really gonna relax and put down roots. It’s the slow life for me. Sure, the talking animals and cultivators coming to live with me are a bit weird, but this year everything is gonna be basically normal.

There definitely won’t be any Heavenly Tribulations, ancient formations, or cultivator issues to deal with . . .

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

CasualFarmer

CasualFarmer is a pseudonymous author who has quietly, but swiftly, made a name for himself in the world of fantasy with his wildly popular web serial, Beware of Chicken. Born in Ontario, Canada, and maintaining a relatively low profile, he has chosen to remain a bit of an enigma, preferring to engage with his readers online rather than through traditional public appearances. Despite this, his work has captured the imaginations of readers around the world, with the Beware of Chicken series amassing millions of views and solidifying his place as a fresh voice in the realm of lighthearted fantasy.

Beware of Chicken

In a world where martial arts cultivation is the path to power, Jin Rou has decided to take the road less traveled—quite literally. Tired of endless battles and endless struggle, he abandons the warrior's life to become a humble farmer. But, as with most things in the world of Beware of Chicken, his simple choice leads to anything but ordinary outcomes.

What begins as a lighthearted take on the cultivation genre quickly evolves into a journey that is as unexpectedly profound as it is humorous. In this unique fantasy series, the protagonist's decision to tend to crops rather than seek martial glory transforms the mundane into the extraordinary. Jin Rou, armed with little more than a hoe and an unexpected amount of power, starts a new life in a tranquil farming village. But with his new life comes a host of eccentric characters, strange mystical forces, and chickens that may not be as innocent as they seem.

The beauty of Beware of Chicken lies in its subtle subversion of typical fantasy tropes. The story is filled with humor, heartfelt moments, and a depth of character development that transforms what could be a simple parody into something deeply engaging. Jin Rou’s interactions with his world are not only funny but also showcase the quiet power of personal growth, finding peace, and uncovering unexpected strengths. Each chapter is an exploration of life's quieter moments—of personal choice and the unforeseen ripple effects of taking control of one's own destiny.

The series brings together an unusual mix of martial arts, farming, and an unexpected focus on personal responsibility. The world-building is rich, pulling readers into a setting that feels alive with magical realism, where chickens might just have more significance than you'd think. Through it all, Beware of Chicken has a way of sneaking up on its readers, moving beyond its comedic premise into something more heartfelt and thoughtful.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a martial arts cultivator chooses peace over power, this series offers an answer that’s both entertaining and surprisingly thoughtful. From ridiculous situations to moments of true personal discovery, Beware of Chicken is a quirky, thought-provoking, and endlessly enjoyable ride. Prepare for a world where even the smallest decisions can lead to the biggest adventures—sometimes, all it takes is a chicken.
