Everything I expected from this sequel！An excellent 2nd entry into a series I can only describe as cozy and delightful。 An MC who understands the quiet joy of a job well done， relationships that are NOT a tangled mess of a harem setup or dozens of different enemies and allies， just good friends and good people。 Characters have their own problems and challenges to overcome， but each is different。 Frankly I hope CasualFarmer leans more into the themes from Cai Xiulan， the kinds of mental and emoti Everything I expected from this sequel！An excellent 2nd entry into a series I can only describe as cozy and delightful。 An MC who understands the quiet joy of a job well done， relationships that are NOT a tangled mess of a harem setup or dozens of different enemies and allies， just good friends and good people。 Characters have their own problems and challenges to overcome， but each is different。 Frankly I hope CasualFarmer leans more into the themes from Cai Xiulan， the kinds of mental and emotional damage that a cultivators lifestyle could cause， and the slow journey to heal that damage 。。。more

Amazing as always Builds on the amazing world built during the 1st novel and broadens our horizons。 The wider story is definitely great and the casual fun tone of story continues with action and slice of life moments。 Massive foreshadowing for book 3 also if we follow standard xianxia tropes and we remember the characters。

I was enjoying this， and it was slow， and I kept reading， and it was slow， and eventually I stopped。I guess if the whole point is that the main character goes and has a farm and avoids fights， it's sort of unfair for me to be mad that he's spending all his time farming and avoiding fights。 I was enjoying this， and it was slow， and I kept reading， and it was slow， and eventually I stopped。I guess if the whole point is that the main character goes and has a farm and avoids fights， it's sort of unfair for me to be mad that he's spending all his time farming and avoiding fights。 。。。more

Notes:I love the artwork stuff！ Enjoyed reading the author notes on RR。 The story was a lot of fun， but there are grammar/spelling mistakes & awkward story progression。 I look forward to listening to the audiobook for V2。 Onto V3！

Xiaxia spoof that turns into cozylit。 The 2nd part was a shade better than the first

A good progression of what began in volume 1。 Just because someone wants the quiet life in obscurity does not mean they will get to keep the quiet life in obscurity。But the slice of life style of writing is still there， and I think the story grew more that CasualFarmer was expecting。 As this story is written as a web serial CasualFarmer does not get the luxury of editing and or tweeking as traditional book authors get to do， so go into the reading with that in mind。

A quite long book where 85% of the book is side character narratives， interludes， and pointless drivel。 The ending definitely makes up for quite a bit of it， but not enough to give it 4 stars。 I read the web novel version of it， and the editing shows。 Way too little focus， and starting to feel like the author was milking the story along a bit。 From the reviews of #3 it sounds like it's way worse so probably not reading any more until it's made into an actual book。 A quite long book where 85% of the book is side character narratives， interludes， and pointless drivel。 The ending definitely makes up for quite a bit of it， but not enough to give it 4 stars。 I read the web novel version of it， and the editing shows。 Way too little focus， and starting to feel like the author was milking the story along a bit。 From the reviews of #3 it sounds like it's way worse so probably not reading any more until it's made into an actual book。 。。。more

NOTE: I read this book on RoyalRoad before the second volume was actually published， and changes may have occurred since then。 Specifically， the author mentioned that volume 2 needed some editing in particular。An excellent book， in keeping with the first， my only complaints about this book are related to perspective and timeline shuffling。 Thankfully， the author mentioned this was a target of editing， so I am hoping it gets fixed in the final edition。Tigu is awesome。

I'm 99% certain that I have finished book 2 and started book 3 -Lets get this out of the way-Book 1 is E published via Kindle， but book 2。。。 there is no book 2 or 3 because they are "published" through a chapter by chapter free site called RoyalRoad。com and they are one continuous body of work even though you can mostly tell where one ends and the next begins， But with some confusion at the denouement / preface part between the two。Beware of Chicken 2 is WONDERFUL！ The tone changes slightly， bu I'm 99% certain that I have finished book 2 and started book 3 -Lets get this out of the way-Book 1 is E published via Kindle， but book 2。。。 there is no book 2 or 3 because they are "published" through a chapter by chapter free site called RoyalRoad。com and they are one continuous body of work even though you can mostly tell where one ends and the next begins， But with some confusion at the denouement / preface part between the two。Beware of Chicken 2 is WONDERFUL！ The tone changes slightly， but the spirit remains the same， and if you like book 1 you will like book 2。Yes， book 1 ends with a lot of energy， and book 2 starts with that conflict mostly resolved and therefore the energy is less at the start。 there are many chapters where a new conflict / energy is established and that can seem slow if you are not maddly in love with all the characters like the rest of us are。 But if you stick with it， about a fifth of the book things pick up the pace。If you have any sleeping or house work to do in your life， I recommend that you do it at that point because after that the roller coaster hits the top of the hill and off we go down the twists and turns of the next thrill ride。I have so much I want to praise this series for that I can't find the words for， so let me say this while I search for the words。At first it's just fun and funny。 then I feel warm and right。 Then I feel like I need to buy a paperback copy of this book and give it to people I love。 If CasualFarmer keeps on the way they are going I will start to compare them with Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams。 。。。more

I really loved book one， and book two did not disappoint！ This is much longer than book one （which is great） and has great notes after each chapter by the author。 The world-building expands in this instalment with more emphasis on characters introduced in book one。 While it may seem slow， this book still entertains and captivates and is an absolute joy to read。--This book isn't available on kindle， so you will have to check it out on Royal Road in serial format-Vol 2 Chapter 1: Full Steam Ahead。 I really loved book one， and book two did not disappoint！ This is much longer than book one （which is great） and has great notes after each chapter by the author。 The world-building expands in this instalment with more emphasis on characters introduced in book one。 While it may seem slow， this book still entertains and captivates and is an absolute joy to read。--This book isn't available on kindle， so you will have to check it out on Royal Road in serial format-Vol 2 Chapter 1: Full Steam Ahead。 If you want to read it on your kindle device， download Web2ePub for Chrome and use Calibre to covert it to kindle format （AZW3 works really well）。 Don't forget to support the author on Patreon 。。。more

I liked the first book so much that I created a royal road account and read book two in serial format there， typos and all。I'm aware some editing will happen， but as is I still love this slice of life， being good for goodness sake， xanxia subversion tale。I look forward to reading more of these books。 I liked the first book so much that I created a royal road account and read book two in serial format there， typos and all。I'm aware some editing will happen， but as is I still love this slice of life， being good for goodness sake， xanxia subversion tale。I look forward to reading more of these books。 。。。more

Read on Royal Road， this continues to be a story that i love。 The characters are great and the story is fun and engaging。 Were there times that things got a bit long winded？ yes。 Were there certain things i wish had been concluded sooner？ yes。 Do i care？ NO。 9。5/10

This one got off to a bit of a rocky start and the pace was a touch slower than the first one thanks mainly to the cast growing considerably。 However， a great amount happens in this book as it is only slow in comparison to book one， and not when compared to most books in the genre。 On top of that is that same sense of joy I loved so much in the first book， and once again I was smiling all the way through this book。 I mentioned earlier how the cast had grown， something that is a red flag for me w This one got off to a bit of a rocky start and the pace was a touch slower than the first one thanks mainly to the cast growing considerably。 However， a great amount happens in this book as it is only slow in comparison to book one， and not when compared to most books in the genre。 On top of that is that same sense of joy I loved so much in the first book， and once again I was smiling all the way through this book。 I mentioned earlier how the cast had grown， something that is a red flag for me with most series。 However， the author does such a good job with all the characters here that it never bothered me being away from the protagonist。 Coming from someone who almost exclusively prefers stories from one or at most two points of view， that should say a lot about the quality of the characters and writing。This series is escapism fantasy at its best and this is another easy 5 stars。 I can’t wait to see what comes next。 。。。more

This is probably my favorite story from the "cultivation" genre - a genre I want to like， but can't really recommend any particular stories from it because they're all poorly written。 This story is a surprisingly healthy fish in a polluted pond。I would classify Cultivation stories as a sub-category of the large spate of "power fantasy" stories that have exploded in popularity among self-published authors on Amazon and Royal Road （&etc）。 I want to like the Cultivation sub-genre - unlike the other This is probably my favorite story from the "cultivation" genre - a genre I want to like， but can't really recommend any particular stories from it because they're all poorly written。 This story is a surprisingly healthy fish in a polluted pond。I would classify Cultivation stories as a sub-category of the large spate of "power fantasy" stories that have exploded in popularity among self-published authors on Amazon and Royal Road （&etc）。 I want to like the Cultivation sub-genre - unlike the other categories （LitRPG， Isekai， etc） I don't think it's inherently flawed， and there are themes that can create good stories in a competent author's hand。I've just yet to find any such stories written competently。 Beware of Chicken is not competent， but neither is it awful， nor is it problematic。 It's a fun story about valuing the small things in life， and resisting the world's pressures to exploit others or the environment for personal gain。 And super-powered farm animals challenging each other to honor duels。You'll enjoy reading it。 。。。more

A story that wastes no sentences repeating the things the readers already know。 The story plays into traditional Xianxia tropes but twists them due to the main character's influence on the rest of the cast。 To reiterate， the main character is some dude from America who isekaied into the Xianxia world。 The volume takes what was established in the first volume develops on it， letting every character develop with new characters。 Of course， there is character bloat which makes it hard to keep track A story that wastes no sentences repeating the things the readers already know。 The story plays into traditional Xianxia tropes but twists them due to the main character's influence on the rest of the cast。 To reiterate， the main character is some dude from America who isekaied into the Xianxia world。 The volume takes what was established in the first volume develops on it， letting every character develop with new characters。 Of course， there is character bloat which makes it hard to keep track of。 Nonetheless， even if you can't remember their names， you can remember them by the roles they play in the various parts of the story。 It is a delight to read Beware of Chicken 2。 That is why I give it 5 stars。 It may not be a highbrow masterpiece critiquing society and its many flaws， but it entertains the reader throughout the journey。 This I feel is the most important behind a fictional novel， which it clearly performs at an exemplary level。 。。。more

Not exactly a litrpg， more a semi-spoof （subtweeting the genre？） of xianxia / cultivation novels。 Much more focus on the disciples - particularly Big Dee and Tigger。 Still really enjoy this series， and look forward to picking up volume 3 when it picks back up later this year。

I've been following this web novel， and it just finished book 2。 Was funny， relaxing and just plain fun。 It makes you fall in love with the characters and I love that。 The slice of life feeling works great。 I've been following this web novel， and it just finished book 2。 Was funny， relaxing and just plain fun。 It makes you fall in love with the characters and I love that。 The slice of life feeling works great。 。。。more

By the time I stumbled upon Beware of Chicken， the first volume was completed （though not in the form that the author intends to publish as audio and physical book）， with the second one still in progress。 The first book， rough as it was in its incipient state as a free web novel on Royal Road， was nonetheless good enough to absolutely win me over。 I initially attributed it to the absolute wholesomeness of the plot， of a man who wishes for nothing but a simple life on his farm， with his friends a By the time I stumbled upon Beware of Chicken， the first volume was completed （though not in the form that the author intends to publish as audio and physical book）， with the second one still in progress。 The first book， rough as it was in its incipient state as a free web novel on Royal Road， was nonetheless good enough to absolutely win me over。 I initially attributed it to the absolute wholesomeness of the plot， of a man who wishes for nothing but a simple life on his farm， with his friends and family， in the tumultuous world he got Isekai'd in， and managing to do it， being friendly and polite to people， and incidentally strong enough to hold his own when push comes to shove。 But there's something else besides that which I like about the book， that being the way the author switches narrative perspectives to showcase how the same situation is interpreted differently by various characters。And those things are present in this second volume， along with several additional character arcs。 A lot of new characters are being introduced， and the already existing characters are experiencing growth （most of them anyway; we're getting progression for Jin's dishwashing carp， but Chunky and Peppa get relegated to mostly background support for their trouble of saving the farm in the previous book， what the heck？）。This second volume， however， ends on a less optimistic note。 I've been noticing the book on Royal Road bears a warning pertaining to "traumatising content" present in the book， and I was wondering what that was on about， as the story is lighthearted and everyone is getting along， and oh。。。 Without spoiling the plot， I wouldn't say that the line was crossed， but it certainly teetered along， leaving me waiting for Patreon updates with baited breath during the climax。 And the ending invokes in me a tone relating to finding joy in spite of adversity， both past and inevitably upcoming， judging from the protagonist's inner thoughts and the final cliffhanger。The book was good。 I'm not sure I'd say it was as good as the first one， but it certainly did different things and expanded upon the previous installment。 It teases an inevitable greater scope conflict， and causes me to ponder over my investment in the series due to the initial wholesomeness。 Have I just been reading an interesting magazine in the waiting room for a future botched colonoscopy？ Is the author introducing all these lovely characters to later torment them？ What else has he written？ The book is rather intricate to think that someone can do this on a weekly basis for their first time， but props to him if it is the case。 。。。more
