My System Is a Broken Game Console (Selling Point: Direct Gimmick/Subversive – Highlights the unique, quirky origin of his power.)

Reborn into a ruthless Xianxia world, Li Qi, a former researcher, found himself trapped in the humiliating life of a coolie, pulling heavy ships for meager wages. His intellect was useless, his future bleak, and survival meant endless toil. Just as despair set in, a dangerous encounter with a mysterious alchemist and his \"heretic\" ritual shattered Li Qi's reality. Struck by a mysterious energy, he awoke to a terrifying new sight: floating progress bars above everything. Skills, tasks, even powerful ancient rituals—all now quantifiable. Li Qi can see how to level up, how to master techniques, and even how to absorb the power of grand ceremonies! His broken game console, strangely linked to this bizarre \"System,\" labels him a \"Heretic,\" making him a target for those who covet hidden truths. The coolie who can see progress now holds the world's secrets, but how long until his unique ability makes him a pawn in a game far deadlier than he can imagine?"
