It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

Publisher's Summary
A cultivation world destined for destruction. A man fated to destroy it. There’s a prophecy to ignore.
Jim was thrust back in time, returned to his body at the moment he started cultivating. Anyone else might have given up, but Jim doesn’t have that option. He’s already made the mistakes that doomed him in his first life, and he knows what to do to make it right. Jim wants to right the wrongs of the past...or future? All while a pair of angry gods torture him through lack of sleep.
He must find a way to reach the top of the cultivation world without drawing the attention of those who would take his knowledge of the future for themselves. Jim has seen how the world ended, and he is determined to fight his way through the world’s hidden foes and defeat his destiny.
Weakened to merely a shadow of his former strength, he quickly learns that fighting alone may not be his best option, even though fate seems to like it that way.
Luckily for the world, Jim thinks fate is stupid. He doesn’t care what it wants.

The World I never knew
First of all the book starts out great. However it falls apart halfway. I made it 75% trough but couldn't finish it. Even after this I do not know anything about the world. There is a clan, how big? Is everyone a cultivator? is there a religion? There seem to be monsters, do they look cool or are they special in any way? Nope we are greeted by the serpent and the big and smaller scorpions. Even with artefacts there is no explanation, how rare are they? How do they work. Are there any rules or limitations? Nope they just casually break the law of conservation of mass and even create matter out of chi (how something creating knives out of thin air doesn't destroy the economy is a mystery). The worst are the companions. They have no character at all, there are 2 females and they are so flat that I could not tell them apart. Small spoilers ahead: And they both fall in love with the other 2 companions after 1 day and practically no interaction?! If at least the cultivation part was good, but even there its completly arbitrary. Do advancement levels mean anything? No they do not as a 10 year old boy with no enforcement of body and spirit is able to overwhelm everyone with no problem. It tries to explain his techniques are just too good and efficient, but his chi seems to be endless at all times. At one point he casually breaks the neck of 5 advanced cultivators at a stage where he hasn't advanced at all. How strong are 10 year old boys in this world? Even if they are not struggling, this is not something that works by lightly twisting a neck (there is talk about reinforcing bone by advancing so it would be even tougher to do). There is no struggle or any suspense, even when he is dreaming all the solutions are spoon fed to him with again no drawback.

6 OUT OF 5 STARS!
Seriously. This book deserves a 6 out of 5 stars.
I recently read through other cultivation style books and was not impressed with the characters. Truthfully, I could not have cared less if they lived or died, but Michael has given me new hope for this series.
Finally, a main character who I can actually like!
The premise: Jim knows how the world is ending. He may or may not even be partially to blame. The gods of his portion of the universe send him back in time to fix the mistake to save billions.
So that sounds similar to a lot of other titles that have recently popped up. A second chance. A redo.
But Reincarnation is different!
As he goes back in time, Jim is not in the body of an adult, but his 10 year old self. Not only is he physically weak, but he has just now entered the world of cultivation.
However, Jim's knowledge and memory of control over his chi allows him to be quite over powered, not because he has inordinate amounts of power, but because of his skill. This was a nice spin on the genre, as I enjoy that skill is emphasized more than brute power.
Jim is also a likeable character. He has a moral code that I agreed with, but also wasn't a holier than thou Paladin archetype. He was also battle hardened enough to make the tough choices, EG. Killing one of his enemies so said enemy would not stab him in the back later. How many stories have you read where the main character spares someone, only to have everything ruined by the person they spared/let get away?
Seriously. Read this book. You will not be disappointed.
On the plus side, Baldree narrates it, and I've pretty much enjoyed everything he narrates!

Can't wait for more
I'm usually lukewarm with cultivation novels, but this one grabbed me. Much like Towers of Heaven, the MC goes back in time to when he is just starting, but with all his knowledge intact. I enjoyed seeing Jim put bullies of all sorts in their place and rallying to battle the Nox.
I even contacted the author...looks like book 2 is out on March 17th and he's already working on book 4!

Very slow story
As someone who likes second chance stories this was a really disappointing one. There was so much filler dialogue it felt like the story made no progress. The MC has to make a witty comment about every little thing, whether it's something he did, how much trouble he's having adapting to his situation, or how stupid people are. There's also a lot of self analyzing/criticizing from the MC that doesn't seem to really change the way he acts at all. For someone that's supposed to have lived for 650 years before his second chance, he's also really stupid.
Spoilers:
The MC is supposed to have been an elite soldier in the emperor's army, a great general, leader of the emperor's spy network, and the second most powerful person in the empire. Yet somehow he never sees betrayal coming at him and doesn't question anything the emperor says to him. He also constantly makes simple mistakes throughout the story like underestimating his enemies, letting his guard down after a fight, doesn't know what keeping a low profile is despite constantly saying that's what he wants to do, and just can't seem to extrapolate information at all. Such as: all these people who seem to be corrupt are wearing red robes/armor/arm bands, I guess it's just a fashion statement, not a possible sign of their group. It really annoyed me that despite supposedly being so experienced and having lived for so long the MC acted more like an overpowered teen on a superiority high rather than the experienced old man he should be. The last problem I had with the story was that it felt like it didn't go anywhere. Throughout this first book only 4-5 days pass by and he is still in the starting zone. I'll make a guess that the next few books will probably be at this pace as well since it seems there's still a lot of world building that still needs to be done.

Disappointing
There's some decent world building and the general story is alright but beyond that, Reincarnation is disappointing. Characters are all one dimensional. The protagonist never faces any real struggles. He's supposed to be very intelligent but this is handled by making any opposition rather simple minded, having people react in wonder at simple plans, and ignoring huge gaps in his logic at times. Hypocrisy abounds (traitors to the clan are bad but robbing the clan at every opportunity good?) and torture presented as good. The concept of Jim having to deal with challenges of being young again was interesting but ignored even though it is supposedly a core part of the story. Great narration makes the book at least enjoyable but hardly anything great.

generic, cookie cutter
A generic wuxia plot. Another new author using the low-effort genre as a crutch.
No relationships or emotional development, just an overpowered protagonist showing baddies who is boss.
Do yourself a favour and AVOID wasting your valuable time!

Main Character is a bit of a sociopath
I got about half way through but couldn't finish. The story reads as a typical power fantasy where the MC is way smarter and more powerful than even the veterans around him. The good guys and allys have no noted flaws and the bad guys have no redeeming qualities and the author tries to make it ok that the character is murdering people in cold blood, sometimes cruelly.
Maybe it is commentary on a jaded general being perceived as a child and we're not supposed to like him, but I just can't get through this one.

Review After Book 3
I write my review after listening to all three books. My opinion of this series thus far is that it starts out strong and slowly gets a little weaker as it goes on. I was all aboard after listening to book one but after book three I have a few more concerns.
PROS
The characters and setting are all fun.
First book felt unique and felt like it was constantly shifting and revealing new ideas.
CONS
10 hour books feel EXTREMELY short to me. Its my bare minimum requirement but honestly the cost to entertainment level isn't great.
Books two and three felt slow paced with not a lot happening. There are stretches of time where it feels like nothing is really happening other than they are existing but with how short these books are it ends up feeling like they fumble around in the middle of nowhere until they find the end of book boss fights.
The plots for books two and three felt like they were reused. They had very similar events and I cant help but feel let down by book three even though I felt it was better than book two in that it felt like a copy and paste of the previous book.
The author uses pop culture memes in such a way that the characters don't really break character but I found myself rolling my eyes every time. Things like star wars and G I Joe references felt a little cringe.
Overall, the story is fine I just don't like how short they are. Book one was better than the others as well but overall I suppose its an alright story.

Typical reincarnation copy paste story format
As the title says, a 600 years old dies, gets young again while not retaining his full strength, he has all abilities and memories with him. Becomes a S.... for gods. this in itself does not make sense since they seem to not care what happened and can deal with it effortlessly but send him back anyway risking him becoming more powerful that them...
Becomes the most powerful person in the "area" within one single day, gets magically op items and "convenient" stuff etc.. Immediately, once again withing one day.
The main antagonist are Arrogant masters and incredibly low Iq opponents that somehow do not have common sense show.
There are some contradictions were he does not have the strength of a high level cultivator, but then he has all of a sudden etc..
He is supposed to be keeping a low profile "because of certain reasons", but guess what he does not do...
The novel itself is well written, but the story is way to generic.

A Strong Start
Very easy to finished this book!
Travis as always provides an amazing realization of the characters and is always a pleasure to listen too.
Michael's story was both enjoyable, meaningful and creative. This is certainly the type of book that favours action which is executed remarkably well. Though that is not to say the character work and plot is bad. Most of the characters felt unique and distinct and the plot was well thought out and engaging. In my honest opinion the writes could have taken a bit more time and spent more time developing these aspects as it really is a strong foundation set here.
Needless to say I recommend this book to anyone interested in this genre. Though prehaps not as an introduction to it.

mediocre
Excellent narration, very mediocre writing.
The protagonist is an overpowered packrat murderhobo who overcomes every challenge with ease and always encounters an over the top justification for sudden violence. The setting is incredibly generic. The antagonists are moustache twirling traitors with a declared hatred for women and babies. All characters lack depth of any kind. The ideas behind this work are colourful and fun, but the execution is lacking. Only managed to finish it thanks to the stellar narration from Travis Baldree

Best wuxia audiobook but still has flaws
Best performance in a cultivation book so far with a protagonist that for the most part doesn't act like a idiot the main flaw I have is that and be warned minor spoilers ahead when parts of his secrets get revealed and stuff starts to get real instead of being like ok cats out of the bag now better step up he starts trying to hide his abilitys even more which ends up getting people killed or lets them make mistakes that get in the way of the plot if one of the targets of your mission is here and your surrounded by enemys showing the people treating you like a waste of space your stronger than them and you know what's going on is always the best idea

Similar to The Beginning After the End
Similar to The Beginning After the End. Plot, tone, and characterisation are familiar, but worse. I don't care about any of the characters, including the POV character. The personalities of all of the characters aren't believable.
The prose quality is above fanfiction, but notably below a professional level; it could have used a ruthless editor. There was a bit of repetition throughout the book that stood out when listening to the whole story.
The balance of the fights versus the main character's experience and confidence seemed to be way off. The fights almost killed him multiple times, he continuously gets snuck up on, and I lost count of the number of times he got sucker punched or knocked out. His internal dialogue however exudes nothing but confidence going into these encounters again and again. Surely by the third close call he'd realise that he's recklessly endangering himself and he'd be more realistic about his potential death (and world doom) instead of carrying on with the same attitude.
Character growth seems nil. Shouldn't there be character arcs accompanying the plot arcs?
Travis Baldree is a champ. Good voice actor breathes some life into a subpar story.
This book is an okay time waster if you're waiting for the next TBATE and enjoy trashy power trip stories.

Constant ‘convenient’ happenings.
Travis’ narration was good for the most part.
The story itself was interesting at times though it became a bit jarring when everything just seems to keep falling into place and the overpower MC just keeps winning/ achieving as much as they do in such a short time frame. I finished the book but wont be picking up the next. The Eastern influence is obvious throughout in both magical and societal norms which made the content a bit more (dry?).
Anyway decent book but not one I’d recommend.

Lack of stakes and boring underwritten adversaries
I honestly don't have much to say as there is little of substance to get invested in. The book constantly undermines its premise at every turn. Its a regressor book but alot of things change, the mc forgets since it was along time ago and gods constantly help the MC out because they know about him. The build up the nox (main villians) as a to-do list and the first one he encounters might as well be any other monster, but only the main character can kill it because he is special or something 🙄. Nothing is really earned, all the other characters have no personality despite wasting time involving themselves in the plot to blindly worship the MC.
The MC itself is undefined apparently his soul was altered by the gods he fell for a basic trap from the emperor but he was an intelligence officer that did the work of a entire empire in 1 hour a day while constantly make plans that fail because he is just so eye catching... and killing a 13 year old girl to justify the MCs 'battle instincts' is pretty god damn stupid, heck I would call the entire book unintelligent as a fact. I'm ending my listening experience here.
