Big Trouble in New York City

A Slice of Life Cultivation Fantasy

By: Eddie Gao

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What happens when a scrappy coder and a runaway cultivation princess collide in the heart of Manhattan? Kung fu, mayhem, and the best Hotpot in Flushing!

James Wong thought juggling late-night code deployments and his mom’s matchmaking schemes was enough chaos for one lifetime—until he stumbled into Lanlan, a cat-eared princess on the run from a deadly sect. She’s got ancient powers, a knack for trouble, and a wardrobe straight out of a wuxia epic. He’s got quick reflexes, a killer left hook, and a questionable sense of humor. Not to mention his hot Latina sidekick. Together, they must navigate deadly assassins, magical hijinks, and the peculiar challenges of hiding a cultivation prodigy in the city that never sleeps.

Big Trouble in Little China with a side of dumplings and women brave enough to tame the naked blade, this urban fantasy/ cultivation adventure blends martial arts, sharp humor, and the irresistible charm of New York City.

excellent story. needs actual narrator.

should have gotten an actual narrator. the narrating was almost life like, but still too robotic and lifeless. the story was too good to pass on listening to it

Interesting but needs real VA

The AI voice is a bit rough sometimes on what it inflects and doesn’t and pauses and doesn’t but unless you’re new to AI voice I’m sure you know all this. There are better VA voices though that do a better job sounding more natural.

The story is a bit fast paced but the plot is very Slice of Lifey with fun B-Rated Movie scenes and situations. Cheesy but not too bad. Especially if you enjoy those old Asian Martial Art Action flicks mixed in with Monster Girls/Guys and light cultivation. It’s not too bad as far as most cultivation stories go.

the overall story was great

I wished they had used professional voice actors especially male and female voice actors. however I do like the story enough to keep up with the rest of the stories.

Virtual Voice is no good for audiobooks

Virtual Voice completely lacks emotion and has the wrong inflections. This was my first and last Virtual Voice audiobook. I can't really say if the story is any good, I gave up trying to listen to it. If I could give negative stars for performance, I would.
