Does the area of the Fa Ram's improved chi and nature have any potential growth limit beyond the borders of the Azure Hills and how much the spirit's reconnected?

Also, how does the Chi level of Fa Ram compare to lands outside the Azure Hills?

Edit: Also also, I've noticed in the books and the Patreon chapters there are a lot of parallels with Shennong, beyond just the basics, including with the stringed instrument playing. How much of that is deliberate, and how much just the way things turned out.

Hey Casual! I love your work, and it's always a joy to read BoC and it makes my day!

I'm curious, do you have any favorite characters/POVs to write for? If so, could you share? I personally always adored reading Chunky's POV, he's such a cinnamon bun.

Are you planning to do a Kickstarter, or some other method, to get physical copies into the universe at some point?

a very short one

Any chance another physical edition comes out? I missed the special hardcover since I started reading recently. Love your work, looking forward to more in the future.

I actually got started on a forum called Questionable Questing. It was posted one chapter at a time in the thread, before being cross posted to Spacebattles.

Then somebody recommended that I post on Royal Road, so I did.

If you go on royal road, I would suggest actually going the forum route first, to get some feedback on your story and build up a backlog, and then post every day on RR until that backlog exhausts itself. That gives a bump in the numbers,. as well as asking politely your viewers to help out with a review on RR when you start posting on RR as well.

I don't know. Jin himself is no great mastermind of uplifting stuff, as he says quite often. He has no idea how most things from the modern world actually work. If it makes sense when I get to it, it will happen, but I dont really have a list.

Ha, and I’m just watching Hugh Grant’ interview Monday 27 with Stephen Colbert. I’m quite certain his manager strongly argued against any mention of said interview, yet Colbert managed to get a joke out of him.

Hey, Farmer. Big fan.

Just curious how you got started. Heard Royal Road has a good set of tools to work with, so curious to see what you'd recommend for someone who recently earned unlimited free time.

Well, there is a more traditional Viking cultivation story called Einherjar I have, as well as an adventure story on skyships called Stormbreakers. Both of them on are on the back burner for now, though, as I work through Beware of Chicken.

That's what I do too...

The idea of the story was a writing prompt that said "The Cultivator Fucks off and becomes a farmer."

I thought the cultivator having a magic chicken would be hilarious. And thus BOC was born.

And yes, I did read Xianxia and Wuxia stories before I wrote one. The parody comes from a place of love. I do enjoy me some face slapping and defying the heavens, even when I do poke fun at it.

As for writing Xianxia? read. Get to know the tropes, in all their glory and all their horror. Its certainly quite different to english novels I find, and theres nothing quite like it, even machine translated like a lot of them are.

What other tech innovations from "our world" do you plan on having Jin introduce?

I started reading the story at the start of Book 2 and your writing has been beyond my expectations everytime. It was always my favorite comedy and slice of life book but I didn't expect your action scenes and character designs to be this good, especially in the tournament arc. Congratulations on all your success!!

So between all these genres what other stories do you want to write in the future?

Please tell me the answer is "The daring adventures of Lord Magistrate Jr !!"/s

HA! Not after seeing that interview on the red carpet at the Oscars!!

From what I understand KU itself drives growth. People binge reading off KU, then getting converted to reading the newer chapters of the serial happens.

Hi, loving the story so far! Thank you for your hard work. I love the characters and how you give them life, regardless of their importance in the main story.

I just wanted to ask; where did the idea of the story come from, and how did you go about researching elements of Xianxia and cultivation stories? Or did you already have prior experience?

In the future, I would like to write a story of my own with Xianxia elements but my only experience with them is from the books I read (which outside of yours, I have only read one other book that does the genre justice) and was wondering what your process was going about it.

Most of it is just discipline and determination. You write every day, even if you have no motivation. There is no secret sauce, unfortunately, but 80 hour weeks are definitely in the future. Each chapter is maybe half to a quarter of what I actually write before it gets cut down.

I'm no match for pirateaba of the Wandering Inn for example (Hi pirate!) who can do 60 K words in a week, which is just mindboggling to me.

Also beta readers are your best freinds and I would like to take this moment to thank them for putting up with my schedule.

Just stopping by to say that I am really appreciating your work. I had happened upon this story at a tumultuous time, and it just hit the right spot. Looking forward to reading/listening to Jin and companies future hijinks.

Good. Its got some good tools for authors, and has lots of content I read. What's not to like?

I read quite a lot of serial fiction and won't start a new one if it is content blocked, kindle unlimited for example.

How do you balance the growth of your readership against using a service like kindle unlimited?

Hi Casualfarmer, I’m a super big fan and also a fellow author from Ontario, Canada.

I wanted to ask if you have any tips with writing your series and the pitfalls you dealt with along the way? I publish on a weekly basis and I find it difficult to wrap my head around how you’re able to write so much without giving up in terms of quality.

How did you find your experience on RoyalRoad?

Mine too. So I try to mention him as much as possible.
