The author, Khale, is writing another story I follow, Heavenly Ascension, which is quite good. So when he asked his readers to try this story, I did. I wasn't expecting much because chicken and I love BOC, and thought this would be a poor imitation of that. Not so! This is literally the story of a chicken, rooster, and his journey on the Dao of a Chicken. It's cultivation and system, mixed. It's all explained to the chicken and readers within the first few chapters so we're not left with dangling questions about the basics of how this world works.
I've read now, a few xianxia books, and they all have similarities but the one consistent difference is how beasts are treated. In this book, Spirit Beasts are treated, at least by this master, as equals to humans, given cultivation resources, and treated as disciples. From the way the master interacts with them so far, I think he's unusual and also maybe a bit crazy.
As for the writing itself, it's engaging, fast paced, the characters are well written, and the world building is done well. (Understand, there are only a few chapters so far.) I like that we don't get a huge information dump in the world, we experience it as the chicken does, which I like.
My only "con" at this point is that the chapters could use more editing. Not in terms of story structure but there are words missing, or autocorrect "interpreted" which leads to confusion. I hate reading along, totally in the story groove, and then punched out of it because of crap like that. I know how it happens, I just think one more editing pass to catch those would help.
That said, I'm enjoying the story! If you have some minutes, check it out.

This is definitely not a BoC clone. I love how Xiao Ji has developed slowly but determined in forming his foundations. Each main characters are given equal space for readers to appreciate the development of the culvativations. I hope the writer will consider bringing the Cultivating Poultry out of the hiatus stage and allow us to enjoy the journey of Xiao Ji and his disciple siblings along with the challenges his Divine Master needs to face. So much promising developments to be left in a cliffhanging part. Please reconsider.

Xiao Ji is a young chicken who is thrust into cultivation without understanding what it entails to cultivate and it shows, he isn’t a supreme genius that knows everything but is a chicken who is learning to cultivate for the first time. Anyway, The characters are complex and feeling with some motive driving them, the writing has little to no errors and the pacing is steadily progressing while leaving room for growth beyond the next cultivation realm. I’m not good at writing sorry if this was weird to read. I fully recommend that you should read this book!

Books really good so far and I hope to see it go further grammar needs a little work but a good story decent pacing and who else has wrote a book on a chicken and cultivation and it’s serious but yes a good read and most of all extremely enjoyable.

At first, I was worried that this would just be a BoC copy, but the Author has put in effort to make sure that it's pretty original.
There are a few mistakes in grammar and spelling but that's to be expected.
There aren't enough chapters of this to give a comprehensive review but, as in the title, it is promising.
Try it out!
