Straw is crazy too
It's funny how Chinese authors like throwing big numbers in their stories. Hundred billion light years away, hundred thousand years ahead. They are definitely not afraid of sounding ridiculous. As for racism later on, well I've seen it a lot also in American fiction, English fiction, Japanese... People only tend to notice it when it's a foreigner doing it.
Shameless Promotion: Do you want to read a Comedy-Fantasy Novel that has Satisfying Story, built with Memorable Characters, who are Multi-dimensional, Realistic, Interesting, Flawed, Competent, Sympathetic, and Likeable? Do you also want to see a group of Characters who'll develop along with the Shocking Plot, binded with Complicated Conflicts, which takes place in an Epic World made from the Combination of Eastern and Western Fantasy? Yes? Then, you better check out my Fookin Novel: Crowning Cruel Crow. May God Bless You with Good Health, if you ever leave a review as well as comments. Hahaha. https://m.webnovel.com/book/crowning-cruel-crow_18100192205265505
