22 world views crush the body! Map like a child’s play! Soul beast chives! Social backdrop! Collective Douluo break the defense! (Ch 22)

boom–!!!

On the light curtain, these cold and cruel words, “plot needs”, “author intervention”, “forced demotion/whitewashing”, “tool man”, and “stepping stone”, like the final verdict, completely nailed Qianxunji’s failure to make a finishing move and Bibi Dong’s repeated letting the opponent win, the two biggest “regrets” and logical flaws in the Douluo World, to the pillar of shame!

The whole world is in complete chaos!

It turns out that the so-called villain’s nemesis and the protagonist’s nemesis also have to succumb to the “plot” in their behavior logic? !

It turns out that their thrilling life-and-death struggles are often just “dramatic conflicts” forcibly arranged by the author to make the story interesting? !

“Shit! The truth is out! The author is the final boss!”

“No wonder I always felt uncomfortable when I watched it back then! It turns out that the author was manipulating it from behind!”

“I feel sorry for the villain for a second… No, I feel sorry for all the characters for a second! Are they all puppets?”

“Don’t run in front! Do you think the protagonist is not a puppet? Didn’t you see that Tang San has been knocked unconscious by the hammer?!”

“Hiss – it’s really scary to think about it! The world we live in… could it be…”

This topic was so horrifying that it instantly caused panic and philosophical speculation in countless people around the world, but it was soon replaced by new and more direct fun.

Because the light curtain did not stop because of Tang San’s coma and Bibi Dong’s impotent rage!

Quite the opposite! After completely exposing the “personal problems” of the protagonist and the villain, it seems that it is still not satisfied and is ready to expand the scope of attack to the basic settings of the entire Douluo World!

On the light curtain, the picture quickly moved, passing through vast forests, towering cities, boundless oceans, strange soul beasts… Finally, it stopped on a sloppy and flawed map of Douluo Continent!

The font becomes sharper, with a sense of all-round and no-dead-angle scrutiny!

[Top 10 loopholes in the setting of the universe·No. 10: “Douluo World”! ]

[Part 6: Worldview Review – Rough map! Chaotic ecology! A trifling society! A world with many holes in its foundation!]

[Core points: Where has the time gone? Are soul beasts leeks? Nobles and commoners live in the same world? Can this world really run in a self-consistent way?! ]

[Warning: Geologists, biologists, sociologists, economists, and all those who are serious about setting things up, please protect your eyes and hearts! There is a large-scale car accident scene ahead! ]

“Pfft! Are they even targeting the worldview? They’re going to dig up the grave and whip the corpse!”

“Map? Species? Society? The light curtain is awesome! This is going to deny the Douluo World from the root!”

“Hahaha! I just want to know, how big is Douluo Continent? Why do they often travel for several months?”

“Hundred thousand year soul beasts are everywhere, million year soul beasts are scary! Is this ecosystem serious?”

“Nobles, commoners, spirit masters… they just feel like a background. The class conflicts and the real social operation are not portrayed at all!”

“The design team is ecstatic! The research team is ecstatic! We have finally waited for this moment!”

The audiences of all worlds, especially those who have high requirements for the construction of the world view, instantly became very excited! It is fun to dig up the characters and plots, but digging up the world view setting is the most fundamental torture of a fantasy world!

[Douluo World: God Realm]

Tang San was still unconscious, his divine heart and divine nature were on the verge of breaking, and he had lost the ability to react to the ridicule from the outside world. This might be a relief for him.

Xiao Wu watched over Tang San with tears in her eyes. When she saw the light curtain begin to criticize the entire Douluo World, her broken heart was once again clenched by a sense of powerlessness. Even…even the world they lived in was wrong?

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue stopped roaring, and they looked at the light screen numbly. When the struggles of individuals (including themselves) were attributed to “plot needs”, it seemed natural to criticize the “irrationality” of this world… But the humiliation that came from their bones and the anger of being completely denied still made their bodies tremble slightly.

The God Kings of Destruction, Evil, etc. also stopped laughing wildly, and their expressions became solemn. Although they were happy to see Tang San in trouble, the light curtain was now criticizing the entire Douluo World! They were also part of this world, and could even be said to be the supreme rulers of this world! If the foundation of this world was full of loopholes and illogical, then what were these “gods” like? A building built on the beach?

Master Yu Xiaogang, the “theoretical master” who has devoted his life to studying the rules of the Douluo World, had already lost his heart when his spirit ring theory was shattered. Seeing that the light screen even criticized maps, species, and social structures, his old face was filled with despair. It was wrong… It turned out… It was wrong from the root…

The Shrek Seven Devils (except the unconscious Tang San and Xiao Wu) looked at each other, speechless. The world they were once proud of and fought for, now seemed to have become a shoddy product in the eyes of the world. Dai Mubai remembered the territory and marching speed of the Xingluo Empire, Oscar remembered the difficulties of his civilian origin, Ning Rongrong remembered the source of wealth and status of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect… Those details that they had once ignored now seemed to have become evidence to support the light curtain’s criticism!

[The first strike of Douluo’s worldview slot: Schrödinger’s map and time! ]

[Scene display: Douluo Continent map (various versions, highlighting its simplicity and disproportion)]

[Subtitle analysis (geographical and temporal logic questioning):]

[-Mystery of size: How big is Douluo Continent? There has never been a clear setting. But judging from the descriptions of characters traveling across two empires and thousands of miles, its area should be extremely vast.]

[-Travel time paradox: On the one hand, it takes days, weeks, or even months for a character to travel from one city to another, or even just to cross a forest (especially in the early days when there is no ability to fly). This seems to confirm the vastness of the continent. ]

[-But on the other hand: the movement speed of the later characters (especially the Title Douluo and the gods) is amazingly fast, and they can travel thousands of miles in an instant, and it seems that crossing the continent is just a blink of an eye. This creates a huge contradiction! Does the size of the continent change dynamically according to the strength of the characters? Or… the author has not considered the scale and the passage of time at all? ]

[-Case: It seemed like the Shrek Seven Devils took a long time to travel from the Barak Kingdom to Tiandou City. But later, when Tang San returned to the mainland from the Sea God Island, or shuttled between the two empires, his speed was outrageous. The time difference and sense of distance in between were completely inconsistent! ]

【Conclusion: The map and geographical settings of Douluo Continent are extremely vague and lack a basic concept of scale. The characters’ travel time is completely based on the needs of the plot, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and at will. This arbitrary treatment of time and space distance has greatly damaged the credibility of the world! 】

“Hahaha! Schrodinger’s map! I’ve been wanting to complain about this for a long time!”

“Walking for weeks, flying for minutes! Is this map made of rubber bands?”

“Author: Don’t ask! The answer is that when you need to hurry, you should slow down, and when you need to save the situation, you should speed up!”

[A master of geography and mapping in a serious fantasy world]: “(Heartbroken) This is simply nonsense! Maps are the skeleton of the world, how can they be treated like a joke?! Scale! Distance! Topography! These basic elements are all a mess! How can people believe in such a world?!”

[Interstellar navigator from a certain sci-fi world]: “(Frowning) Distance and time are the basic laws of the universe. Such arbitrary settings are simply incredible to us. Even traveling within a planet needs to follow the laws of physics.”

[The second strike of Douluo’s worldview slot: chaotic soul beast ecology and balance! ]

[Scene display: Soul beast settlements such as the Star Forest and Sunset Forest, where various soul beasts (especially high-level soul beasts) frequently appear]

[Subtitle analysis (ecology and logical questioning):]

[- The mystery of the “wholesale” of 100,000-year soul beasts: In theory, 100,000-year soul beasts should be the top existence among soul beasts and are extremely rare. But in the plot, especially in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, 100,000-year soul beasts do not seem to be rare (Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape, Soft Bone Rabbit, Evil Demon Killer Whale King, etc.). In the later period, there were even million-year-old soul beasts like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King! Excuse me, how can a small planet (Douluo Star) support the existence of so many top predators? What is their food source? How are the ecological niches divided? ]

[-The mystery of the “just right” soul ring delivery: Every time the protagonist group needs a soul ring of a specific attribute and a specific age, they always “just happen” to be in the right place, encounter the “just right” soul beast, and this soul beast is “just” in a state where they can be killed (either alone, injured, or has a nemesis). Excuse me, is this the soul beast that took the initiative to deliver itself to be a “courier”? Or is the Star Dou Great Forest actually a “self-service soul ring collection point for beginners”? ]

[-The mystery of the coexistence of humans and soul beasts: Soul masters need to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings, and soul beasts also regard humans as threats or food. Logically, the two sides should be irreconcilable enemies. But why can humans still build huge empires and cities, and even go deep into the forest to hunt? Why don’t powerful soul beasts (especially those over 100,000 years old) unite to strangle the threat in the cradle (such as killing young Tang San earlier)? The balance of power and coexistence mode between the two sides seems extremely vague and unreasonable. ]

【Conclusion: The soul beast setting in Douluo World seriously lacks ecological logic. The proliferation of high-level soul beasts, the convenience of obtaining soul rings, and the ambiguous balance between humans and beasts all point to one fact – the existence of soul beasts is more to provide the protagonist and soul master with upgrade experience and equipment (soul rings, soul bones), rather than a real and credible ecosystem. They are more like… mobile experience packs and material libraries! 】

“Experience pack! Material library! Hahaha! So brilliant!”

“Soul Beast: It’s so hard for me! Not only do I have to practice hard, but I also have to calculate the time and place so that the protagonist ‘happens’ to meet me!”

“Azure Bull Python/Titan Giant Ape: Stop cursing! We really didn’t think that much at the time!”

“Why not just call it ‘Douluo Leek Continent’! Soul beasts are just leeks waiting to be harvested!”

[Perfect World·Naughty Child Shi Hao]: “(licks lips) Experience pack? Is it delicious? I wonder how a 100,000-year-old one tastes… a 1 million-year-old one must be very nutritious!” (focus shifted again)

[Monster Hunter World: Experienced Hunter]: “(wiping the greatsword) Ecosystem? Balance? This is simply a hunter’s paradise… or hell! Such a dense concentration of powerful monsters, but a lack of a reasonable ecological chain to support it… Either this world has unlimited resources, or… it’s made up!”

[Pokémon World·Xiaozhi]: “(scratching his head) Soul beasts… they sound so pitiful… can’t we be friends with them?” (Pikachu: Pika~Kachu!)

[The third strike of the Douluo worldview slot: a trifle social structure and class! ]

[Scene display: cities of Tiandou/Xingluo Empire, noble emblems, fragments of civilian life, and the power radiation of Wuhun Hall]

[Subtitle analysis (Sociology and Economics Questioning):]

[- Ambiguous class relations: There are three major classes in Douluo Continent: nobles, commoners, and spirit masters. But what is the relationship between them? What privileges do nobles have? How do commoners survive? What is the social status and power boundary of spirit masters (especially high-level spirit masters)? These settings are extremely vague. It seems that nobles do not show much actual ruling power except for the title (instead, they are suppressed by the Spirit Hall). Commoners are reduced to background boards, and their lives, economy, and culture are almost blank. ]

[- Fragile imperial rule: The two empires seem huge, but their ruling power seems very limited. The Spirit Hall, a “non-state organization”, can easily infiltrate, divide, and even almost replace it. The empire’s army, official system, and economic lifeline all seem to be a joke. Does the strength of a country only depend on the number of top spirit masters? ]

[- The disconnect between soul masters and the economy: Soul masters are the core force of this world, but how do they integrate into the economic system? How do low-level soul masters make a living? Where does the wealth of high-level soul masters come from (except for robbery and “adventures”)? What impact does the emergence of soul guides (hidden weapons) have on social economy? These basic issues concerning the operation of the world are hardly touched upon. The social and economic structure of the entire world is like an empty shell. ]

【Conclusion: The social structure of Douluo Continent is superficial and extremely crude. Class relations are unclear, the state apparatus is weak, and the economic system is almost blank. The entire society seems to be just a stage for setting off the soul masters (especially the protagonists and the Spirit Hall), lacking the complexity and depth of the real world. Rather than being a “world”, it is better to say that it is a simple “background board”! 】

“Background! Hahaha! The truth is out!”

“I told you! In this world, apart from the fights between soul masters, everything else is just a joke!”

“Noble: I feel insulted! What else are we good for besides pretending to be cool?”

“Civilians: We don’t even have names…”

[Game of Thrones World·Tyrion Lannister]: “(Sipping wine, sharp eyes) Social structure? Oh, this is simply a child’s graffiti. There are no intricate checks and balances of power, no deep-rooted family interests, no undercurrents of the grassroots people… Such a rule is like a castle in the sand, which will fall down at the first push.”

[The Great Qin Empire World·Shang Yang]: “(With a grim expression) The strength of a country lies in strict laws and regulations, with farming and warfare as the foundation! This world has power but no order and no foundation. It is like water without a source and a tree without roots. Decline and fall is inevitable!”

[Capitalist World·An Economist]: “(Pushing his glasses) Productivity determines production relations. The existence of supernatural powers like soul masters will inevitably have a subversive impact on social structure and economic model. But this world… doesn’t seem to reflect this at all? It’s too illogical!”

One by one, one by one!

From maps to time, from species to ecology, from class to society!

The light curtain is like the most precise scalpel, peeling off the outer shell of the seemingly bright and beautiful world of Douluo Continent layer by layer, revealing its rough, simple, contradictory and flawed nature inside!

The ridicule, questioning, and criticism from all realms were like the loudest slaps in the face, slapping every living being in the Douluo World hard!

The world they were so proud of, the home they depended on for survival, was degraded to nothing at this moment! It was completely shattered!

It was a kind of despair and anger that was deeper than personal humiliation! It was as if the entire foundation of existence had been denied!

Above the God Realm, except for the unconscious Tang San, all the gods had livid faces, their divine might was surging, but they had nowhere to vent! They wanted to refute, but found that every word of what the light curtain said was difficult to refute! Those settings that they used to take for granted and even proud of, seemed so ridiculous from the perspective of the broader and more diverse Ten Thousand Worlds!

For the first time, the God of Destruction even had a sense of absurdity: Could it be that… we gods have been living in a… joke?

And this public execution against Douluo World has not ended yet!

After a comprehensive inventory of setting loopholes, a golden light shone brightly above the light curtain!

The final judgment! The final score! Coming soon!

This will be the final fatal blow to the Douluo World! It will also be the last straw that breaks the mental defense of Tang San (and other Douluo characters)!
