This Young Master Is Not Cannon Fodder

A Cultivation Fantasy (Tianyi, Book 1)

By: D.C. Haenlien

Narrated by: Ronnie Rowlands, Tiffany Suzuki

A cultivation fantasy published in light novel style.

On the surface, Xi Tianyi was the only son of Sword Empress Xi of the Buzhou Immortal Sect, the number one expert in the Huang Realm. His birth was noble, his status exalted. But the truth was that Xi Tianyi was actually a reincarnated man from a world known as Earth.

On Earth, he was no one special, but with his new life, Xi Tianyi aims to reign invincible: past, present, and future. Among his goals was to travel back to Earth and reunite with his family.

However, as Xi Tianyi proceeds further on his Immortal path, he discovers that rather than the protagonist, why does he seem more like the cannon fodder villain?

big fan

it's different and funny while still interesting and having a legitimate plot I've already read it twice and still enjoyed the audiobook although I have mixed feelings about the narrators I would recommend this series to most people

Awesome!

Really loved the story and finally an MC that isn't starting from nothing but instead a young master with a powerful and rich backer and i Really liked the part when he just shamelessly used his wallet to defeat a was stronger opponent. looking forward to book 2! Oh and the narration was really good too, no cringe moments with names or anything like that.

5stars

Well done. Well narrated.  will be looking forward to the next from this author. Is worth a listen, give it a try.

Not bad at all

First off, I want to state that this is the first book of this kind that I've read/listened to. I'm basing this review on the audiobooks own merits and not in comparison to anything else I've read. I really liked the story. I will say that the naming of everything in the terms they are described in (heavenly sword dragon of the earth realm side strike) through me off for a while. Once I got use to them though it was fine. That young master definitely wasn't cannon fodder in this book.

So, if you are into this type of book, I'd recommend it. The story is captivating.

Pretty good

Interesting story, it definitely isn’t boring. I really enjoyed it, I will for sure listen to the next one.
Great narration too.

This book is for a certain niche audience

If you are really into Chinese cultivation this is the series for you.
If you are into Chinese LitRPG culture and the ins and outs of that style of cultivation, will really like this.

Decent for new readers/listeners of the genre

Okay so this isn't a bad book, I've come across WAY worse cultivation novels (especially for western authors). In fact it's a relatively typical example of the genre. Which is kinda my problem with it, I've been reading these novels for about 10 years now and this is just average. If you are new to the genre then I can see why you'd find it enjoyable, but if you've read a few of these novels it's not all that exciting.

Awesome book! Just started the next one!!

I've always loved cultivation novels, but this series is 100% A1 content for anyone familiar with cultivation novels. Highly recommend and pray he keeps the same energy going forward :3

Awesome book!!

Loved the cultivation aspects and action of the whole book from word one, and very well narrated as well!!

I really enjoy cultivation novels

That being said it isn’t for everybody, with all cultivation novels the ranking systems tend to be complicated and hard to follow if your are into traditional level systems.

I am eagerly waiting for the next one.
