Funny, witty, and plays with tropes common in Xianxia and Isekai in great ways. The comedy lands for me more often then not, and I never expected to love and care for the struggles of a Rooster in a Xianxia world, yet I do. Overall a feel good story centered on ideas of found-family, and what it means to use and have power all wrapped up in a comedy. There are some small quibbles I have when it comes to the passage of time or how much food has been harvested/given out (this is particularly relevant after certain events later into the novel before winter hits). I would also like to see in future books how Jin's introduction of small technology advances progresses his own homestead and the neighboring village but that could be the focus of future books in the series. 

The only note I'd like to add is that I think your enjoyment of this book will depend greatly on your own knowledge of the Xianxia/Cultivation Fantasy and Isekai genres as the subversions and jokes may not work as well. That said, if you still want to give it a read there is plenty to enjoy.
