Beware of Chicken is lots of fun. MC gets dropped into the life of a guy who’s just had the shite beaten out of him by his fellow disciples, and decides “fuck this shit, I’m outta here”, and runs off to be a farmer in Nowheresville. Needless to say, Shenanigans have scrambled after him and have just gotten wilder.
I have to add in a rec for The Last Ship in Suzhou as well. Chinese-American teens David and Alice find themselves dumped into Xianxia-land in the ruined temple of a dead Sect which appears to have adopted them anyway. Among other things gives a good view of the difference in perspective that being an immortal kung-fu-wizard qi cultivator gives one. (“Sure, it’s a shit job, but somebody’s got to do it, and the rota only gets you once a century or so, so who cares?” / “Wanna go for lunch?” “Sure, it’s been a decade or two since I ate last, let’s go.”)
