There was a happy squeal from outside and the thunder of trotters, as the heavens decided to mock her. com (for now) but dude, if they already made an audiobook out of book 1 then book 2 should be for sale soon, and probably already is by the time you read this.

Recent threadmarks the timeline of Lu Ban New on book 3 On Shen Yu vs the Cloudy Sword Sect and Shen Yu vs Soaring heavens Isle. I wanted to figure out more and more about how the world functions and is made, which you get decent glimpses into throughout the book. We learn early that the protagonist is from our world, but few details beyond that he's familiar with Xianxia stories and feels like he is in one. Add finding a fine lady to love and appreciative neighbors and I was all-in before I was even halfway through the novel.

Sure it's ostensibly an isekai cultivation story but unlike most of those, the focus is on the characters and what a great cast Casualfarmer has created for us. Jin was kind of an idiot for not getting out of the way in time when the little shit wanted to fuck somebody up, but at least there was no meridian destroying because "the commoner was so beneath him".

In their first match there’s this wonderful passage: ‘In one exchange, a leaf fell between them, floating between slashing claws and spinning swords. A note about Xianxia: I admit I have no idea what this word/genre actually means beyond that it's a type of Chinese adventure story. This is an incredibly funny book about a guy with powers who just wants to live a simple life as a farmer.

The story contains a lot of comedy, but beyond that there's a plot, fights, progression and foreshadowed threats and other events in the horizon for the second book. It picks up every thread, every theme, every scrap of brilliance from the first book and just starts sprinting with them. I've slowly been reading this on RoyalRoad as chapters come out and haven't really taken the time yet to read each book as a whole.
