Douluo's full-time soul master

Chapter 162 A more in-depth discussion of the works of the Three Young Masters

From the writer's point of view
This is actually very easy to explain. When San Shao wrote Dou 1, he was around 30. He was already sick, and he kept updating for more than ten years. On average, he wrote thousands of words and tens of thousands of words a day. You asked me to write 500 words a day Can't do it for 5 years.The peak period of a writer is about 25-35 years old. In fact, San Shao has already gone downhill since the beginning of Dou 2. It is not a technical problem, but a problem of writing life.

At the time of Dou 3, my wife was seriously ill and had to seek medical treatment everywhere, so there was also a problem with the quality of writing. The problem was not the outline, but the details.Different people have different opinions on this point. After all, Mr. Jin Yong’s writings in the early years were also problematic. The published books we saw later were all revised many times. I once saw some of the contents of the Ming Pao edition, which I bought later, in 04 or 05. Guangzhou Publishing House (triptych edition?) The content revisions are also different, and the later revised editions seem to have different deletions, but (triple edition?) I haven’t read the later ones.

It can be seen that the quality of the things written by the third young master is worrying, but no matter how you look at it, I think this is human nature, and everyone has to see how to understand and be considerate of family matters of birth, old age, sickness and death.

So my first opinion is: the Douluo Dalu series is getting worse and worse. On the one hand, some readers who maintain this mentality are no longer the "target audience" of the writer, that is, the level of appreciation is no longer a line, like When I was young, I liked hide and seek, but when I grew up, I found that it was just the same.On the other hand, the author's condition is also declining. Lian Po is old, can he still eat?
Then comes my second point of view: it’s not that the Douluo Continent series is getting worse, but that San Shao’s original writing is at this level, and it has been at this level since the second stage (data below).

Ye, a well-known e-sports philosopher, once suspected that the big brother Yu XX suppressed hand speed in order to prolong his professional life, and I personally remain skeptical of San Shao in this regard.

When I traveled to Dalian in July 2018, I had the opportunity to catch up on the last two books of Dou 7, namely 3 and 27.That day was the World Cup final. I was lying on the bed for seven days, and I was deeply moved when I saw the postscript of 28.As a result, not long after, I heard the news of the third young lady's death. It was really good fortune. It's empty, because it seems that no one witnessed my childhood".The emotional symbols of the third young master and his wife are a major feature of the book, and now one of them has passed away. Probably this is the feeling.

In essence, one of the reasons for the decline in the quality of Douluo Continent is: San Shao himself should not have thought about writing a single series.Even The Legend of Heroes of Tangmen was only conceived when Dou 1.From Dou 1 to Dionysus to Tianzhu Transformation, all of them have been undertaken.I even suspected that the Douluo series was forced out by doujin, because at that time Dou 1’s doujin was bad, and I bought no less than 5 different sets of physical books. versions).But there is one thing to say, part of it is still very thoughtful, I have read a book called "The Road of Seven Monsters to God", the first half is very good, and the idea fits many elements of Dou 10 at that time. Fill in the pits (for example, the second of the remaining four sects; Tang Yuehua's lover; how the rest of Shrek became gods, etc.), but the second half of the content is full of crotch, because there was already a fight 1 at that time. The author wrote intermittently After many years, the physical book has been published from 2 or 12 to 13
Poor Qi Yue, Lan Jue and Xiaolong were abandoned by the Tang Sect, and I don't know if they can be rescued

(The above data is quoted from Wikipedia)
In fact, looking at the data, it is not difficult to find that in terms of San Shao’s writing style, the zodiac was a kind before, relatively immature, and still exploring the style; the zodiac to the god seal is a mature process, the number of words and style are similar, and also It is the stable stage of routines; Dou 2 has been written in the same way since the beginning, and the technique has achieved great success.But I basically hate the kind of people who go to find bugs just for the sake of it. It's purely unreasonable. It makes me want a group account. It's really easy to make money (doge).The only thing I didn't expect from the data is that Dou 3 has fewer words than Dou 2?It can be seen that San Shao's condition is really bad, whether it is physically or mentally (Dou 2 25 months 510 million words; Dou 3 30 months 495 million.).The reason why Dou 3 is listed as a stage is because the mentality of the three young masters is different
Combining some of the above data, here is another point of view in the second point of view: Hollywood started in the late 70s and early 80s, led by such benchmark figures as Lucas, Cameron and Lao Si, combined with the Trends such as DVDs, online and offline, have created a wave of Hollywood content movies. Commercialization and assembly line production have completely revitalized the industry and created a successful ecological chain. .

Movies generally don’t make money, even the best movies. Only 1% of them make a lot of money purely from release, and the remaining 99% of movies will always make a “small head” from release, and the “big head” will always be peripherals (DVD, theme parks, etc.) ).

Whether it was then or now, there are countless things coming out of the industrial assembly line, but it is a road to wealth. Think about how many people have been supported by Hollywood?
Hey, what a coincidence.

The "poor" of the Douluo Dalu series, in my opinion, happens to be the most standard online and offline linkage in the "network" industry in today's era, which conforms to the characteristics of the current era, commercialization and assembly line production.

It is difficult to make money from online articles, and it is always the peripherals that make money: (copyright) game development, film and television adaptation, etc.

In other words, the content written by San Shao, which is the so-called "poor" or "getting worse" of the Douluo Dalu series in the title, just happens to be a standard of "commercialization and assembly line" in this era point.As long as the content is decent (online), it can start surrounding (offline), and then form a successful ecological chain.Think about how many people this model can feed?
So it may not be that "Douluo Dalu series is getting worse and worse", but just in this era, the popularity of the Internet, the popularity of mobile phones, the rise of games, the adaptation of film and television IP, the development of peripherals and other trends of the times have given opportunities. The content of the Continental series is only slowly matching, and just right ("poor") in line with the "maximum benefit" operation of this ecological chain, and it has become one of the big ones.

Just like Hollywood decades ago.

It will not be the best book, but this ecological chain based on it can maximize the benefits.Maybe that's one of the reasons it's "getting worse".

But is its content really below the average line of industry quality?I don't think so, otherwise it wouldn't be one of the industry benchmarks.

Here, by the way, I would like to insert a little opinion about "The Legend of Heroes of the Tang Gate" (the following content does not specifically go through the book word by word, it is purely memorized, please forgive me if there are any mistakes).

I have read 6 of the first 5 books of "Tang Men", but each book is no more than 3 times. The most impressive thing is that starting from the zodiac, I basically read it when I am bored. I have read each book 10 times or more. .
For the ranking of combat power in "Tangmen", we only need to look at the worldview of the heroes in each background. In other words, the combat power itself is between the upper limit of the worldview. "Gods" are to be chased, and if you meet them casually, you will be weak.

The five books in the first stage are actually not very comparable, because they are in the exploration stage, but because the protagonist of "Children of Light", Long Gongwei, is San Shao himself, and it is also the first book, so the combat power is second only to Tang San.And I only remember that there are only Kuangshen and Binghuo (I still don’t know why Rong Nianbing can get along with Tang San, the world of Binghuo itself already has the Goddess of Life, God of Death, etc., which conflicts with Douluo’s Goddess of Life .Maybe it is purely for Huo Hang.) There is a cue to the world view, and it can break through.I am the only one who is obviously cultivating immortals, but I did not elaborate on what realm is above the cultivation of immortals.The good death is similar.As for the empty mark, I think it can be regarded as the same as the zodiac and Tianhuo, that is, half overhead, half virtual background of the real world + half overhead content, do you look down on Qi Yue and Lan Jue? ! (shaking with cold air) Why can Tianhen be on it?

Although the comparison is not strong, but if you insist on talking about the protagonist, Sophie, Mad God, and Binghuo are indeed better than Konghen and Shanshi, and the three young masters are still objective.

And as far as I am concerned, good death has unique content and atmosphere, which gives me a slight sense of pity.

The zodiac signs from the second stage have the God Realm, but the writing is not good. And Tianhuo is a high-end version of the zodiac, but I think the problem with the zodiac is the age.The content of the world view in it is based on the present. After 10 or 8 years, it will be boring to read, and many of the contents are retro.Of course, there is nothing wrong with Qi Yue himself, just with his sword, he adjusted the asteroid 3° the size of the moon. With this strength, can't he enter the circle of great gods?But the only problem is that, apart from Qi Yue, there are really not many decent people who can fight, or they are not very good. I feel distressed every day
Emperor Qin has a clear realm of "god", but Ye Yinzhu himself has not broken through. He is a sub-god (white) in the original work, and the ceiling combat power in the background is not much, with 10 capped, so the combat power is weak by three points.In terms of character design, I personally like Ye Yinzhu and Zhou Weiqing the most. They have the most outstanding personalities, they are full of flesh and blood and very lively.Ye Yinzhu said a similar sentence "Childhood? My piano is my childhood", without arrogance or impetuosity, it touched me very much.

And because everything in "The Legend of Heroes of the Tang Gate" originated from "Douluo Dalu", so stories with Douluo's background must be Tang San's strongest.First of all, Douluo itself has the concept of "becoming a god". In the background, the sea god Poseidon is a god who was cultivated by a soul master. The belief in marine life becomes a god, and he is the only god of the five elements who came from cultivation, so he is stronger.Then there is Shura God, Angel God and Rakshasa.There are 99 gods in one continent, which was not possible in Douluo's previous works.Because looking at the previous works, basically they have already faced the "god" when there is no upward bottleneck, that is to say, gods have no independent space/divine world. They are strong.It also made Tang San stronger.What's more, Dou 5 is the only one that has the concept of "God's spokesperson" and in the background of Douluo 4-1, there have appeared more than once in the background of Douluo 1-3. The ceiling combat power of level 99, the general strength is terrifying, and the per capita is strong.

Then there is the God of Dionysus, which is even more powerful. Ji Dong and his wife received the throne from the God King, and their status is even 3 points higher than Tang San, but their strength is a bit weaker.There are also a lot of ceiling combat power in the background story, and there are clearly stories, legends, and ways of chasing gods.Griffin, the Dragon King, talks about gods in a set way, not to mention that the heroine, Lie Yan, is a second-level god mansion and even surpasses Shura's subordinates (Ji Dong has seen the second-level god before the 7th crown. Solo second-level god, Tang San calls it an expert!) The strength he has cultivated, the combat power is even more outrageous than Douluo, it's just that he doesn't have a god position.To change the way of comparison, Lie Yan was almost everyone in Hang Hammer Dou 3 during his lifetime.The Demon Emperor is only a level 100 godless position, that is, the level of a priest; Tang 50 at that time, Gu Yuena was so strong, it was just a god king who barely became a first-level god mansion without a god position; , There are not many subordinates, and it is only the first level. The god mansion has no god position.Compete with each other.

The strength of Zhou Weiqing, the protagonist of the Dzi Bead, comes from the Dark Devilgod Tiger that Tang San faced in Dou 1, similar to the system of using the Dark Devilgod Tiger's martial soul to cultivate the Dzizhu.But the peak combat power of the plane itself is actually not strong. Before that, there was only one Xue Aotian who was a god-level elementary/intermediate level (intuitively, it is similar to Douluo's Super Douluo, about level 97), but Xue Aotian is Beast trained as a human, that is to say, there is no problem in counting him as a "soul beast" instead of a "human being".And the masters of human beings, such as Long Shiya, Fen Tian, ​​and the Shangguan brothers are all at the peak of the Emperor level (similar to Douluo's level 95).In the last 5% of the content, there are only a bunch of god-level people, but it is also clear that there are only about 10 people, and only Fen Tian and Zhou Weiqing are the peak god-level people on the ceiling.In terms of species, the Elf Queen, Huiyao couple, and Dragon King are all at the peak of the god level, and the 4 elf elders and 11 attendants of the Dragon King are all at the god level, and their backgrounds are also considered profound.Frankly speaking, this background is comparable to Star Dou Forest in Dou 2.

Zhou Weiqing has a bit of Zhang Wuji's internal taste, he is an acquired genius, and he is a brilliant character.

The background of Tianzhu clearly has stories, legends and ways of chasing gods (click on it, not many).Such as Goddess of Life, Evil God (Actually, I always thought that Zhou Weiqing could become Evil God.) and God of Creation, Zhou Weiqing's own strength can be regarded as being influenced by Tang San, it can be said that without Tang San, there would be no him.The Tianbian level itself is a level 100 priest without a god position, only the villain big crab can barely reach it, and Zhou Weiqing is only the peak of the god level.The villain was killed with Tang San's help.He wanted to pass on the position of God of Shura to Zhou Weiqing, but was rejected. Later, Zhou Weiqing became a first-level God of Destruction God by virtue of his ability.One thing I really like about Zhou Weiqing is that his sub-class is very useful and very strong (buff).Looking at the heroes of the Tang Sect, there are really not many who have sub-professions and are very strong.

Tang family (to Tang San, Huo Gua and 50) Blacksmiths of all dynasties (Tang San is mainly because of the hammer inheritance and master of hidden weapons, Huo Gua and 50 are both masters of soul tools and masters of soul tools + battle armor due to the change of the times.), Zhou Weiqing is a god Master (the Dzizhu version of Doukai), Jidong Bartending (Wine Bottle Special Skill) barely counts as a buff, Ye Yinzhu Qindi (actually not considered a sub-profession, but barely counts as a buff), Rong Nianbing cooks But it can’t even be considered a buff. The buff is just a sword technique and there seems to be no more words to say. Zhou Wei cleared that he is not a god king, and his combat power should be the first. Zhou Weiqing must have been dealt with, there is a tyrannical sub-profession that walks sideways.Really, if he had been given the throne earlier, his fighting power would not even be in the top 5.
