Beware of Chicken

CasualFarmer

S+98/100
Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator who defied the heavens. Unfortunately for him, he died — and now a transmigrator is stuck in his body. Arrogant young masters? Heavenly tribulations? Life-or-death battles? No thanks. Farm life sounds far more appealing. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you have the strength of ten men, the slow life is genuinely fulfilling, and the girl from the nearby village is surprisingly interesting. The only complication is that feeding Spirit Herbs to a pet rooster may have been a mistake — Qi makes everything a little unpredictable.

The Jade Phoenix Saga

D.I. Freed

S+96/100
Yu has been called corrupted since infancy. Her God Sign is flawed, leaving her as the only member of her mighty warrior lineage unable to cultivate — frail, scorned, and hidden away from the clan that considers her a stain on their honor. Bullied and bloodied but never broken, Yu secretly trains with her twin Jian swords, using her flawless memory to master forms far beyond her years. Her martial skill grows in the shadows, but without cultivation it means little — until she is offered a chance to be reborn.

Unintended Cultivator

Eric Dontigney

S+95/100
Sen never dreamed of ascension. Such aspirations belonged to the rich young nobles, not orphans like him scraping a living on the streets of Orchard's Reach. But when destiny takes an unexpected turn, Sen is chosen over those same nobles and adopted into a makeshift family of three ancient cultivators. These old monsters will teach him everything — from the art of the jian and spear to arcane alchemy. Yet on the path to defying the heavens, Sen must decide what kind of person he wants to be, because when his training ends, he will have formidable enemies determined to put him back in his place.

Sky Pride

Warby Picus

S+93/100
The heavens decreed his death. He should have died in the womb, in infancy, when his family was murdered, when a house burned around him, or when he woke in a dump riddled with disease and missing fingers. Even the magic ring with a ghostly grandpa trapped inside was sabotaged. A reasonable person would give up. Tian isn't that reasonable — and neither is Grandpa Jun. In a world where immortality can be cultivated, miracles are things you make for yourself. A broken boy will defy the heavens and soar.

Reborn as a Demonic Tree

XKarnation

S+90/100
Ashlock woke in the courtyard of a demonic sect — as a tree. A tree that eats people. And one that grows stronger over time through a daily sign-in system and cultivation. A strange new life, but perhaps not the worst one in a world where humans chase immortality through the art of cultivation. Every day he grows stronger, gaining powerful skills, mutations, summons, and items in exchange for credits earned from eating flesh and watching the seasons pass. But his peaceful, man-eating existence can only go unnoticed for so long. His Qi-rich bark makes him a target, tensions in the demonic sect are rising, and a Beast Tide looms on the horizon. Ashlock's only option is to grow faster and stronger than any tree in the history of the nine realms.

BOC Alternate Universe: Soaring Heaven's Isle

CasualFarmer

S89/100
In one timeline, Shen Yu joked to his friends that he would send his new disciple to Soaring Heaven's Isle, an all-female sect. In another, this wasn't a joke. All Jin Rou knows is that this supposed man's dream isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially after two errant disciples accidentally blow him — and the floating island he was living on — up. Wherever he goes, this poor guy can't seem to catch a break. Or lose the chicken. The comedy timeline of Beware of Chicken, starring Rou, his rooster, and his two idiots.

The Essence of Cultivation

Agranulocytosis

S88/100
After five years of adventuring, Arcanist Sylar Spellsight now spends his days catching up on Essence Studies and teasing apart the functions of arcane trinkets discovered throughout his travels. An unexpected accident during the study of his latest subject displaces him across the Planes, far beyond what any known spell is capable of achieving. Now finding himself lost in a realm rich in previously-limited Transcendental Essences, Sylar isn't entirely sure he wants to return home. Learning new spell structures by observing the local mages should prove entertaining — though their strange 'cultivation' practices and lack of appreciation for Essence manipulation may hold hidden depths that neither side has yet to fully realise.

His [Hero] class has changed to a unique blacksmith class called [The Living Forge], empowered by consuming magical items. Some of his old passive Titles remain, giving him the power to forge a new future exactly as he chooses.

1% Lifesteal

Robert Blaise

S87/100
Freddy Stern, a twenty-one-year-old cashier, has lived a plain, albeit harsh life. Having been orphaned twice, he's spent the last ten years working and staying out of trouble. His only aspiration is to save enough money to become an archhuman. His dream gets the jump on him when he barely survives a near-death encounter and finds himself with 1% Lifesteal — a bizarre talent with numerous contradictions and just as many uses. With every dead enemy, he becomes a bit stronger, a little wiser, and a lot more ruthless. And no matter how much damage he takes, he can always put himself back together. Physically, at least. But on his path to power, after having to look at the rotting guts of archhuman society again and again, can his talent keep his mind and soul as pristine as his body? Or will that part of him simply remain broken?

Path of the Berserker

Rick Scott

S85/100
When cultivators came to Earth they destroyed human civilization in a matter of hours. Armies fell, cities burned, and the moon turned red and filled the world with monsters. Now, over a decade later, what is left of humanity slaves under the heels of Qi-infused masters. One man wants none of it. Sick of serving and determined to make the cultivators pay, he is found by a fearsome goddess who shows him a different path — one that does not rely on Qi. Through blood, sweat, and pain, he will fight to take back the planet and free humanity, or die trying. That is the Path of a Berserker.

The Immortals' Mask

Jay Krauss

S85/100
Sataou was not chasing glory. He had a sharp mind, a relaxed spirit, and a place in the Shengu Sect earned through quiet dedication rather than burning ambition. His Void affinity demanded emotional control — and the world refused to let him stay whole. When that balance shatters, what remains loses what makes it human. This is not a tale of ascension. It is the story of what is lost along the way — and the rise of a man who will stop at nothing to sever the chains of a captive world.

Courting Death

Blue Moon 13

A84/100
Martin Zheng has always held dying hands and listened for the hush that comes after the final heartbeat. It's his gift, his burden — until the night he gives his own life to shove a child away from speeding headlights and awakens in Death's embrace. She is Thanara: silver-haired, star-eyed, lonelier than the long darkness she guides. For one stolen moment, two caretakers share a tenderness deeper than fear. Then the cosmos declares his death "an error" and hurls him back to existence. Reborn as Mingxuan in the Elemental Realm — where sword-saints carve mountains and power is measured in the lives you can end — Martin remembers only fragments: a scent of rain-drenched lilacs, a pulse in his chest, a promise to meet Death again. While rival sects chase immortality, he walks the forbidden Dao of Death, mastering the grace of endings so he can stand beside the woman no one dares to love.

Liu Feng wanted to be a cultivator who defied the heavens, surpassed all limits, and had jade-skinned beauties clamoring around him. He wanted to shatter the arrogance of young masters and fight anyone who got in his way. Unfortunately, he died — and now finds himself in that world for real. Jade-like beauties? No thanks, he'd rather study the magical energy. Young masters and life-and-death battles? He'd rather read books on cultivation and master techniques that clearly don't obey the laws of physics.

Marauders shot Yuan in the head and buried him in a ditch. They thought it would be enough to put him down. They were wrong. Rising from the dead by the will of the Gun — demigod of revenge and firearms — Yuan has one goal: track down his murderers across the Unmade World and slaughter every last one of them. With the bullet-core stuck in his skull marking him as a Gunsoul, he can finally teach these arrogant cultivators a lesson they'll never forget. But revenge isn't easily claimed. To carve out a path through the wasteland, Yuan must face power-hungry sects, nuclear cultivators, and weapon-gods. No one will bury him again.
