Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 73: Explanation of Current Toxic Points in This Book

Today (May 26, 2024), I saw a comment where a fellow reader summarized three major flaws in the book. I've copied the comment below, and then I'll share my solutions.

1. The awakened and exposed Demon Blade Thousand Blades intends to cultivate the original martial soul.

2. The author says that the Demon Blade Thousand Blades is equivalent to having eight self-created soul skills. Later, he will use the divinely bestowed soul ring to turn the eight self-created soul skills into skills in the soul ring, and he will also merge the two skills that come with the 8-year soul ring into one.

3. I left my fishing rod in the water all afternoon and when I came back to reel it in, I found a fish that weighed 7 or 8 pounds. That's all for now, I can't look anymore.

The above three points are readers' comments. My thoughts are: the summary is spot on, I give you a thumbs up.

Solution:

Regarding the first point of contention, I still maintain the view I expressed in the book:

First, after the protagonist absorbed his first spirit ring, he grew taller and his appearance changed drastically. Douluo Continent didn't have cameras or the Heavenly Eye, and no one was monitoring the protagonist at that time. Only Tang San, Su Yuntao, and others who were present when the protagonist awakened his Demon Blade Thousand Blades spirit saw it. Therefore, as long as Lin Yizhang didn't reveal the Demon Blade Thousand Blades spirit to Tang San in the future, no one could find out that the protagonist came from Holy Soul Village and was the child who awakened the useless spirit Broken Blade back then.

Second, as for why I chose to cultivate the main body martial soul first instead of the Demon Blade Thousand Blades martial soul, it's purely the author's idea. The author's setting is that the two martial souls are of similar initial quality and have similar growth potential. The author just likes to write about cultivating the main body martial soul first, there's no other reason. I believe that those readers who can't stand me writing about cultivating the main body martial soul first won't see this part, so this flaw is handled in this way.

For the second poison spot:

I also think this is toxic, but I'm too lazy to revise Chapter 4 again, so my solution is: I won't add the Thousand Blades Sharpening Martial Soul according to the settings in Chapter 4. My new setting is to add Soul Rings by hunting Soul Beasts. The types of Soul Beasts hunted are mostly dark-type, and the added Soul Skills won't be those eight innate skills.

Regarding the third flaw: My thought is, why would you pick on this when reading a novel? Is it because the author didn't mention the "brain storage location" at the beginning?

Solution: When I was a kid, I actually caught two fish weighing a pound each using this method in real life. So if you really can't accept this, please leave. What's the point of changing this? Unless you delete it, I really don't have time to deal with such minor flaws!

Poisoning site cleaned up!

Let's talk about this book again. So far, I haven't seen any comments saying this is a mass-produced work by an AI studio, which shows that you readers are quite discerning. (Reader: This author only updates a few chapters a month after publication. Can an AI-written book stop updating? To maintain a daily attendance record, they have to write 10,000 words a day! So, as a reader with both good looks and intelligence, I can tell this author writes casually, updating only when they have time, and not updating at all when they don't. It's utterly arbitrary and despicable!)

There are more AI-generated novels now, and since I'm not Shennong (a legendary figure in Chinese mythology), I'm waiting for Shennong's reaction before deciding whether to jump in.
