Haha I'm glad all my nagging was helpful! I'll keep an eye out on your too, though I'll try to tone down my knee-jerk reactions a bit. If I get to a point where I can set time aside for some proper editing work, I'll let you know ^^.

I completely agree. The way it is now, Halifax actually comes out as a little bit of an incompetent buffoon, which is unfortunate when he's supposed to be all smart-like. I thought of ways to improve this, but couldn't think of one that didn't involve spending a lot more time in this first world, and I didn't want to drag it on for too long. So, it's kind of a compromise.

If you're trying to avoid using male or female pronouns, because that information hasn't been revealed yet, then I find 'their' to be a better option than 'its' which is the pronoun reserved for objects, not humans/sentient beings

Very good introduction to the system, without going into too much detail, as well as the obligatory withheld answers for the future. I'm interested to see what how this borrowing mechanic works, and how it plays into the RPG elements that appear to have been revealed.

Shouldn't it know his middle name by the same logic that allows it to know his first and last names without being told? I guess this creates an opportunity to tell about their british heritage, but that was also possible when discussing the fate of his mother in the previous chapter
"How does the system know my full name?" Wang Wei asked Genesis about his name first because Raymond is the middle name of both the Wang brothers given by their mother. Wang Wei's mother is British, and Raymond is their mother's family name. But it is only mentioned in the brothers' birth certificates, so no one knows about it other than their family.

Punctuation: "So Genesis. Hi" --> "So, Genesis. Hi." Names are usually subordinated to the main sentence with commas
"So Genesis. Hi" Wang Wei spoke, looking at the empty space in his room. If anyone was present there beside him, they would have thought that Wang Wei is speaking with ghosts.

missing word: said out --> said out loud
"Wait, what the heck I'm thinking about. Hell with being a protagonist. Where did this thing come from anyway" Wang Wei said out and soon calmed himself down.

You're very welcome :). All the technical stuff I've pointed out is more or less about practice, so just keep working on it. Also, keep in mind to not just accept my commentary, but look it up the issue yourself if you have any doubts. A good way to learn is simply to do stuff, but the best way is to do it and then reflect afterward, at least that's my experience. Good luck out there!
