"Oh, god, it's like some kind of fucked up reality TV show? That sounds... sort of terrible! Does everyone know about the gods being real, to be able to talk about shit you do?" If they do that would definitely be a point towards 'not from actually the same world', because he's never heard of anything like it.
"Oh, NEET is, uh, no education employment or training. I uh, made my living writing shitty serial novels, which is not a real job." He looks actually kind of embarrassed, for once. "And then I got electrocuted and died! In 2015. It's been like, sixty years since then, but that probably didn't pass in the same way back home, because Cucumber-bro transmigrated like fifty years after me but from the same death year. And, oh, yeah, I'm from a xianxia novel, but unless you're like a truly enormous nerd you probably never heard of that genre in Canada, I don't think it's very popular overseas period. It's like, sort of the stock fantasy tropes in China, the way wizards and shit are in the west? Like, people write it different ways, but there's always cultivators and spirits and shit."
