I see a cable path that's about what is intended. The casing leaves the DT stop without a kink. The casing then curves in a smooth and consistent manor up to the, admittedly poor, der stop. Remember this is a low cost bike/der. Of course it won't have the same attention to detail as a nicer one. The only thing i would have done differently is to use lined 5mm brake housing and metal end caps. I doubt the shift lever is indexed so the compressionless housing is not needed and the larger and tougher end caps will help limit casing pull through. the tighter windings of the brake cable also limits casing punch through.
