The issue with names here... Is that qidian's translator didn't go through any of the previous chapters. None. Which means the only ones to read prior to this, are fan translations that have always been consistent. This is not consistent. By changing the names you are leaving every reader to guess and piece together which names got changed to what, why certain names got changed in the way they did (ah qi to seven. You left out half the name. But Su Clan's seven every single instance instead is so much better, right?) and the fact that you also changed the names of all the stages of cultivation.
Essentially, I can't help but feel the people who made these decisions only did it to 'individualize' this trans from fan ones. That is pathetic reason that only serves to confuse readers. Not a single damn was given about continuity, ease of transition for readers since qidian's full time translators will outpace fan ones that are doing it running only on generous donations AND Qidian did not bother translating any of the previous chapters so new readers could go and start from scratch to actually not be forced to google unofficial translations threatened with legal action.
Hm.
So... What I'm getting from this is Qidian WANTS us to read unofficial translations instead of their own more contrived, and due to internal company political issues, lesser quality translations.
Either go back and have a separate, smaller team make up the gap between chapter 1 and 138, or change your terminology to be more familiar to the reader while there are still less than 50 chapters to edit. That would be the proper way to do this, and despite all past actions I have hope for a good solution that I contributed to or a better one I didn't think of.
