Not a bad overall read. It’s slightly similar to AFK, just with a slightly less standoffish protagonist, modern setting, and not as OP system. As for the neighbor, she was only in the story for one chapter really — the only lengthy interaction they had was when Qi Shu saved her from a wolf that had found its way into their neighborhood. I don’t know what other people were reading, but it was a perfectly normal scene.
Do give it a try.
