Douluo's full-time soul master

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).

The well-known e-sports philosopher Ye Mou suspected that the big brother Yu xx suppressed hand speed in order to extend his career life, but I personally have a skeptical view of the third young master in this regard.

I traveled to Dalian in July 2018, and it was then that I had the opportunity to catch up on the last two books of Dou 7, which were 3 and 27.That day was the World Cup final. I was lying on the bed for seven days, and I was filled with emotion when I saw the postscript of 28.Not long after, I heard the news that Mrs. San Shao had passed away from illness. It was really fate that made me feel that the only thing that made me feel at that time was a passage said by Teacher Qi Yu, which roughly meant: "After my father passed away from illness, my heart was at a loss. It’s empty because no one seems to have witnessed my childhood.”The emotional symbolism of the third young master and his wife is itself a major feature of the book, and now that one of them has passed away, this is probably how it feels.

Essentially, one of the reasons for the decline in quality of Douluo Dalu is that San Shao himself probably never thought of writing a single series.Even The Legend of Tang Sect Heroes was only conceived during Dou Yi.From Dou Yi to Dionysus to Dzi Bead Transformation, we have all taken over.I even suspect that the Douluo series was forced to come out by fellow fans, because at that time Douluo 1 fandoms were very popular. I bought no less than 1 different sets of physical books, and I also read more different versions online (guaranteed 1 version).But there is one thing to say, some parts are quite thoughtful. I have read a book called "The Road to Godhood of Seven Monsters". The first half is very good, and the idea is very consistent with many elements of Dou 5 at that time. The fan author has said it himself Filling in the gaps (for example, two of the remaining four sects; Tang Yuehua’s lover; how the rest of Shrek became gods, etc.), but the content of the second half is too much, because there was already Fighting 10 at that time, and the author continued to write it intermittently For many years, I have the impression that physical books were published from 1 or 2 to 12

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, if you look at the data, it is not difficult to find that in terms of the writing method of Sanshao, the zodiac was one type before, which was relatively immature and was still exploring the style; the zodiac to the divine seal is a maturing process, and the word count and style are relatively similar. This is the stable stage of routine; Dou 2 has been written in the same way since the beginning, and the technique is perfect.But essentially I hate people who look for bugs just for the sake of trolling. It’s completely unreasonable and makes me want to have a group account. It’s so easy to make money.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 the condition of the third young master is really bad, both physically and mentally (Dou 2 has 25 million words in 510 months; Dou 3 has 30 million words in 495 months).The reason why Dou 3 is listed as one stage at the beginning is because the mentality of the three young masters is different.

Combining some of the above data, here is another perspective on the second point of view: Hollywood began in the late 70s and early 80s, led by benchmark figures such as Lucas, Cameron and Olds, combined with the Trends such as DVDs have connected online and offline, creating a wave of Hollywood three-part content movies. The commercialization and assembly line production have completely revitalized the industry and created a successful ecological chain. .

Movies generally don’t make money, no matter how good the movie is. Making a lot of money purely by being released is only 1. The remaining 99 movies will always only make a “small head” by being released, and the “big head” will always be peripherals (DVDs, 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’s not necessarily that “the Douluo Continent series is getting worse”, it’s just that in its era, the popularity of the Internet, the popularity of mobile phones, the rise of games, the adaptation of film and television IPs, the development of peripherals and other trends of the times have given opportunities to Douluo Continent. The content of the Continental series is just slowly fitting in, and it is just right ("poorly") in line with the "maximum benefit" operation of this ecological chain, and it has become one of the big players.

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 Sect", but each one no more than 3 times. What impressed me most is starting with the zodiac. I basically read it when I was 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 exploratory stage. However, because Chang Gongwei, the protagonist of "Child of Light" is the third master himself and is also the first book, his combat effectiveness is second only to Tang San.And I only remember that there are only Mad God and Ice and Fire (I still don’t know why Rong Nian Bing can be related to Tang San. The world of Ice and Fire already has the goddess of life, and the God of Death conflicts with Douluo’s goddess of life. . Maybe it’s just for Huo Guai) I have a cue to have a world view, and I can make breakthroughs.It is obvious that I am cultivating immortality, but I have not actually elaborated on what realm is beyond cultivation.Good death is similar.As for Konghen, I think it can be considered in the same category as Zodiac and Skyfire, that is, it is half fictional, half virtual background of the real world + half fictional content. Do you look down on me, Qi Yue and Lan Jue? ! (Shuddering with anger) Why can Tianhen get there?

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 at the beginning of the second stage include the gods, but the writing is not very good. Skyfire is the high-end set version of the zodiac, but I think the problem with the zodiac signs is that they are old.The content of the world view in it is based on the current situation. It will be boring if you watch it 10 or 8 years later. Many of the contents are very retro.Of course, there is nothing wrong with Qi Yue himself. He adjusted a 3° moon-sized asteroid with just one sword. With this strength, is he unable to reach the circle of great gods?But the only problem is that in fact, except for Qi Yue, there are really not many decent people who can fight, or they are not very good, which makes them 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, this one is even more powerful. Ji Dong and his wife were passed down by the God King, and their status is even 3 points higher than Tang San, but their strength is a bit lower.There are also a lot of ceiling combat capabilities in the background story, and there are clearly stories, legends and ways to pursue gods.Dragon King Griffin talks about gods one after another, not to mention that the heroine Lie Yan is a second-level god himself and even beat Shura's subordinates (Ji Dong has seen the second-level god with his own eyes before he has won 7 crowns). lo Level 3 God, Tang San calls him an expert!) With the strength he has developed, his combat power is even more outrageous than Douluo's, but he just doesn't have a godly position.To change the comparison method, Lie Yan was almost everyone in Diao Zhuo Dou 100 during his lifetime.The Demon King was only a level 50 godless person, which was the level of a priest; at that time, Tang was [-] and Gu Yuena was so strong, but he was just a god king who could barely become a level [-] godless person; and how many years did it take for the Abyss Saint Monarch , without many subordinates, he is only a first-level god without a godly position.Make a judgment.

The strength of the Dzi Bead protagonist Zhou Weiqing comes from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that Tang San faced in Dou 1, which is similar to the system of using the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's martial soul to cultivate Dzi Beads.However, the peak combat power of the plane itself is actually not very strong. Previously, there was only one Xue Aotian who was at the primary/intermediate level of the God level (which intuitively feels similar to the Super Douluo of Douluo, around level 97), but Xue Aotian was The beast was trained as a human being, which meant that there was no problem in considering him as a "soul beast" rather than a "human being".And the human masters, such as Long Shiya, Fen Tian, ​​and the Shangguan brothers are all at the peak of the Heavenly Emperor level (similar to Douluo's level 95).Only in the last 5 content did a bunch of God-level people appear, but it was also made clear that there were only about 10 people, and only Fen Tian and Zhou Weiqing were at the top of the ceiling.In terms of species, the Elf Queen, Hui Yao and his wife, and the Dragon Emperor are all at the peak of the God level, and the 4 Elf elders and the 11 Dragon Emperor's attendants are all at the God level, and their backgrounds are quite deep.Frankly speaking, this background is comparable to the 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 Dzi Beads clearly includes stories, legends and ways to pursue gods (I clicked on it, not much).Such as the Goddess of Life, the Evil God (actually I always thought Zhou Weiqing could become the Evil God) and the God of Creation. Zhou Weiqing's own strength can be considered to have been influenced by Tang San. It can be said that without Tang San, there would be no him.The Celestial Transformation level itself is a level 100 priest with no god status. Only the villain Big Crab has barely reached it, and Zhou Weiqing is only at the peak of the Celestial God level.Tang San helped kill the villain.He wanted to pass on the title of Shura God to Zhou Weiqing, but was rejected. Later, Zhou Weiqing became a first-level God of Destruction due to his ability.What I like very much about Zhou Weiqing is that his secondary profession 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.
