Douluo: The System Arrives Just as I'm Leaving the Spirit Hall

Let's start with the strengths: the protagonist's character, values, and intelligence are all sound; it avoids the cliché of typical light novels where the brain is driven by lust. The logic is rigorous, based on normal human reasoning, and is objective and rational, with an engaging plot. Overall, it's quite good.

The premise and structure are so good that even though the pacing is a complete mess, I can still watch it.

Chapter Nine is even more outrageous. The protagonist spent resources meant to cultivate someone to the Soul King level to raise someone whose martial soul mutated and couldn't cultivate to the thirties. However, the protagonist himself isn't even a Soul King yet, and his talent isn't stuck; it's unclear why he doesn't cultivate. It's as if the resources are simply being fed to others.

Reading from Chapter 1 to the latest chapter, my feeling was that it started as a gem, then became mediocre due to excessive filler, and finally improved to a high-quality read. Overall, it's pretty good. If the author used less filler, it would be perfect. 😍😍😍😍

What's the point of reading fanfiction? The thrill! The author should take a look at what they've written; it's as long and tedious as a foot-binding rag. We're not here to see you expand on the settings. Even if the original work is terrible, it doesn't need you to keep describing the settings. Do you even know what we're here for?

Good news: No piracy. The bad news is there is no piracy.

There's basically no plot; it's all theory, inner thoughts, and introductions.

This is so long-winded! A few chapters are dedicated to one apprentice, and a few more to hunting for spirit rings. Then there are some nonsensical theories the author conjured up. I need to get rid of this quickly!

I couldn't even finish reading the first chapter. You're the kind of person who starts out as a complete loser and lives to 35 without ever getting any immortal herbs or learning how to pick up girls like Yu Xiaogang. Instead, you're honestly trying to get a soul bone. Are you kidding me? You're just like those six-year-olds with the Old Deng's comeback system. Without the system, you're just a loser.

Others add settings to the plot, but he just added a tiny bit of plot to the settings; in thirty or so chapters, almost nothing has progressed.
