The martial arts system seems standard: internal arts, layers, breakthroughs, body tempering. The Primordial Qi Art is one of the 32 basic internal arts of the Han Federation, which hints at a standardized curriculum. That's realistic for a modernized cultivation world with schools. I'm intrigued by what "high-tier" internal arts look like. Also, the fact that top students are already at Ninth or Tenth Layer while Wang Li is stuck at Third shows the gap is huge. This isn't a world where everyone progresses equally; talent and effort matter.
I love how the story just jumps right into the chaos—MC doesn't even waste time, he's like "Dad I want to marry a woman thirty years older than me" and the dad's reaction is priceless. That "unfilial son" bit killed me. It's funny and immediately sets up the kind of bold, shameless character Su Chen is. Also the mom being the real boss in the family was a nice touch, shows the family dynamics.
One thing I liked: the distinction between “teacher” (husband) and “ teacher” (female) in Chinese made an appearance. It’s a small cultural note that shows the author tried to incorporate language nuances, even if the translation made it stiff.
I really felt for Jiang Wu when he thought about his sister. The backstory with Su Ziyu is tragic. Adopted, then his sister gets paralyzed, parents die, and he's been working construction for years just to save for her surgery. That's a heavy motivation. The antitoxin scene where he gives her the blue liquid was touching. He didn't think twice. It makes you root for him. The system might be silly, but his love for her keeps the story grounded. I hope the General Medicine becomes his goal.
