I checked out 'just a few chapters' and got hooked to the newest chapter, 63 within a day!
The first chapter dives into tropes with a tongue-in-cheek parody that's absolutely hilarious.
If you're a big Xania/system fan, you'll love this take. The dynamic between the main characters is hilarious, and the system is interesting to learn about.

I really love this novel!!!
First, the characters are really well built in my opinion. This author knows how to keep the characters In a good balance between of serious and funny.
The story is really entrataining, I seriously couldn't stop till I caught up with the available chapters!! There is a good mix of hilarious moments, world building and fights. Also, I can't wait to see where the plot leads our system MC, I can already see him spreading to whole galaxies
and adding magic, magitech, steampunk, space exploration and many other power systems. Perhaps the MC will create his own system apocalypse and bring monsters to worlds so he can harvest more energy
The grammar, I believe, is on point. I mean there are some very small things. But nothing that takes you out of the plot, that's for sure.
Apart from that, you can see that the writer really knows the cultivation genre very well, there are some hilarious twists on common cliches that just made me laugh non stop
All my best regards to the writer and editor, hope you keep up the amazing work!!!
I really recommend people give this novel a chance!

So. I honestly really enjoy this story. I saw the title, and was mildly intrigued. That was enough for me to give the story a chance. I'm very happy that I did. This is an excellent story in so many ways. I'm honestly more than a bit surprised that this story doesn't have at least quadruple the number of followers it does now. It is at that level of quality. Anyways, I will go a little more in depth about my ratings now.
I don't have much to say about the grammar. It is at an acceptable level. However, a couple of the style choices the author makes are amusing. The author uses different marks to show the expressions of characters, which is not something I've seen before. It isn't much, but it does increase my enjoyment of this story.
The story itself, on the other hand, is much more interesting. It is a character driven story, which means I'll have to cover both characters and story at the same time. I will put the next bit in a spoiler box, because I will talk about what happens dozens of chapters in.
The way the story starts off is incredibly strong, showing the way System and Ren Qinquan react to their new setting. The way the story progresses, and the shenanigans the two get into are more than a little funny. Their character dynamic is also more than a little funny to me. The insane level of greed that System has amuses me to no end. The way this drives its interactions with other characters and the world itself are funny, but also interesting. I won't say any more, simply so that I don't spoil the story more than I have.
So. That was basically my review for this story. If someone is reading this, and they haven't read the story yet, I implore them to do so. Anyways, that's basically all I have to say.

This is a really good novel and you should really try it out. The concept is very interesting, especially since it’s teasered that there will be Main Charakters outside of the first world. That should give the author a chance to make the main character (the system) Funktion in very interesting ways by transporting powers and Konklave between those different worlds. I’m exited to see where this goes. The only problem is that the author’s first language obviously isn’t English, but it’s not to a point we’re it hurts the reading experience

Look, it's a pretty fun solid take on a 'isekaied into being a system, also xianxia setting' story.
The main downside is that the level of english isn't that great. Ironically sharing some resemblance to machine translations of xianxia novels. (Edit: It gradually gets better)
This also enables the satire points to really hit, one example (names changed):
"As -companion- looked at -MC- who had been in a daze staring at nothing and sometimes giggling by himself for close to two days already. She started to feel a bit concerned."
