Hey Casualfarmer, I don't really have a question but I just wanted to say I really enjoy your series and I hope you continue to find success with your writing!

This series has such a nice cozy feeling and it has its serious moments meticulously places.

How are you so cool?!?

Thanks for all the effort you've put into this story. Its been so refreshing compared to the usual cultivator tropes, but your skill at developing unique and interesting characters has really pulled me in.

Two questions:

1. Do you think Jin will reveal his true origins to everyone else besides Meimei? I'm wondering how Gramps will react.

2. Are there any stories that you would recommend that are similar to Beware of Chicken? I love it so much, I can't get enough.

It's sort of understated horror in a way. The horror comes from the normalization of said use of the body more than intending to scare you. The scene where Das Muni gives Zan >!her afterbirth to drink !<evoked a reaction in me that actual violence depicted in other books does not. I'm reading Mirror Empire right now and while it's no where the level of the Stars are Legion this seems to be a thing that Hurley tends to go for.

Oh wow! A true ending.

May the Heavens smile upon the work of your hands

Definitely. Expect a new wave of "evil or out-of-control" AI or "what does it mean to be human?" AI related discussion. And I don't mean that negatively. Can't wait to see what will be done.

I love beware of chicken thank you for writing it! Question: If you were going to do another style next other than Xianxia what would it be or do you think you’d continue on something similar?

What are you reading on Royal Road nowadays?

Any time a male character is described as being ridiculously super handsome, I always think of Manny Jacintol and then get confused if/when later they refer to blond hair or whatever.

scariest of horrors cause it's applicable to real life!

Megan Follows as Anne Shirley and Winona Ryder as Jo March! I know there are other great versions of those stories, but they seem like separate/totally different things, if that makes sense (it probably doesn't, lol)

For me I usually have a feeling like thank goodness that’s over, I can finally get my chores done.

Sometimes I’m describing one book when talking about another and get so confused when I’m corrected 🧍🏽‍♀️

Yes! & whenever I share this feeling with others they look at me like I’m crazy. If the book is really good, it’s like I grieve that storyline. Book hangover but wanting to experience the book for the first time again.

Wow, that's so cool that you met Annie Barrows. Yes, I agree with you. Well, it's not a long book, so if you do end up rereading it, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts!

Pollyanna was in my 6th grade classroom library, as was Little Women. I read lots of other things from that era, too.

I'm also a weirdo lol.

For me, if I read around 60% or so of a book I consider it read.

As a less flippant suggestion for you and u/Kingkongcrapper...if you are on board with sci-fi and like that sense of humour, I could not recommend The Culture series by Iain Banks more.

It's much less explicitly comedy than Pratchett or Adams. It tends to lean more towards hard science fiction...but the series has a really similar sense of humour. The crux of the setting is a society that has become so advanced that AI run everything. Humans simply think too slowly to have meaningful input.

A lot of the plot across the series is told from the point of view of sentient AI space ships that see humans effectively as children they are morally obligated to look after. The interaction between the god like AI and the comparatively stupid organic life leads to a really similar style of humour to the narrator/character dynamic of Prachett and Adams. But rather than being a comedy space opera like Hitchhiker's Guide, it's more like a space opera that's comedic.

When you’ve recovered…You need a palate cleanser. Something very different. Graphic novel. Short story. Nonfiction. You get it.

It's fine. There were times when I reread a book, and I can't remember any of the things in it. Other times just after finishing a book I can really not remember any details except give you a very vague description of the book. It's like I read the book but didn't really read it.

If Bi De turned to demonic cultivation how could it happen and what would be his powers?

This is so real. And for so reason I'm always a little disappointed in the next three or four books I read.

This comment resonates with me, as I read a ton of books my mother brought home after her mother died. So I was reading books from the early 20th century—Two Little Women, Pollyanna, Prudence of the Parsonage, Eight Cousins, Rose in Bloom—and I absorbed those ideals right before I read James Bond books, Rosemary’s Baby, Valley of the Dolls…is it any wonder I am a bit weird?!

This is awesome!
