I have the feeling that this will become a running gag

Generally the novels start is weak, as it relies on slapstick comedy a lot, later on(after the windcloud competition) the comedy slowly advances and becomes smarter even though there is still a lot of physical comedy, even later on(after white cave) the comedy is phased out and the novel becomes more serious. Worldbuilding only really starts after he leaves the tiansang spirt palace the first time(before that there is basically only exposition into the powersystem, maybe some mysteries) but at least as far as I read (ch 2150) its solid enough that there aren't any plotholes that I noticed while reading. Most mayor characters get enough development that you can understand them. My only real negative point other than the weak start is that sometimes translation quality drops fo 10-20 chapters, also some drops are worse others barly noticeable but they always recover (again as far as I read, so around ch2150)

I don't think the author did any math and just wrote some good sounding numbers, expecting us to believe him
