This is a good story, because I think it has a balanced aspect. Some Douluo Dalu fanfics that I read sometimes have Anti Tang San aspects that will always make an unreasonable storyline 90% of the story is only made to bring down Tang San and Yu Xiaogang for no clear reason and sometimes even forget the figure of Tang Hao who clearly will not let his son be bullied. But in this book even though the MC will also go through the Anti Tang San route, the MC is still full of calculations not arbitrarily bullying Tang San openly, so this is okay. Second is the harem in this book even though the MC has a harem, it doesn't mean that every female character sees the MC for the first time will immediately go crazy about the MC, but every female character is really approached before finally developing an interest. Because in some Douluo Dalu fanfics with harem aspects that I've seen, it seems to be written for the sake of fulfilling desires, other characters besides the MC are really just like NPCs, even some stories use a system to Mind Control female characters. The thing that I think is a bit lacking is the MC's fighting ability, although it is very flexible, it is also very boring because all he does is copy other people's soul skills, so it feels a bit lacking in creativity.
It's full of bullshit, and supporting characters like Sherk's teachers are nothing more than NPC characters who have no mind, the plot is just a matter of fulfilling desires and nothing interesting. I gave it 2 stars because I'm amazed the author could write 1000+ chapters of something like this.
His MC was very contradictory and very inconsistent in his remarks, as at one time he said that he had already outlined his intention in wanting Xiao Wu's soul bone because of his interaction for 6 years, but the next time he said that he still wanted Xiao Wu's soul bone just to affirm his own characteristic that he was greedy when he claimed to have feelings for Zhu Zhuqing and he wanted it (more precisely his body). That is why this is a contradiction, because when he became Louis's disciple he only wanted to take advantage of Louis at first but gradually he said that he was not a plant without emotion, and in the end respected Louis. It's not fun to see an MC who just spins his every whoop with inconsistency.
Absurdly, every female character who is in MC's harem is just a bunch of lascivious women. And MC was always trying to tell his harems about the plans he was going to carry out or that he was already executing, if only that I wouldn't have taken issue with it either, but the nature of these harems is really stupid they're just naive women they can't control their facial expressions so they look stupid, they also reveal things that should remain secret to others really stupid and implicitly. Honestly I found this book because of the Harem tag but whether it was Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Lan, Dugu Yan, or Qian Renxu they each had annoying traits, Zhu Zhuqing's reserved nature was precisely a blessing, because besides Zhuqing the other MC harems were too wild.
The drama and conflict are just jokes between Tang Hao who misunderstood and attacked Spirit Hall continuously, even the combination of the Golden Crocodile were beaten by Tang Hao, this is really strange, even Qian Daoliu looks like an idiot when facing Tang Hao. The author only continues to use the absurd Spirit Hall and Tang Hao fight scenes to fill the fight chapter. I mean the conflict between the MC and the Shrek people is very rare, the author deliberately delays time with the excuse that the MC still can't face Tang Hao, it's just nonsense with the presence of Yun Yun who is able to kill Tang Hao. The MC is just busy collecting the harem. This is not worth it for those looking for exciting conflicts, because so far it's really all just jokes. This is just a harem collection fanfic, and what makes more not make sense is that the MC insists on including Bibi Dong in his harem when he already has Xiaowu. The MC just said "I will revive your mother so I want you to not bring up Spirit Hall and not hate them, besides while in Notting academy you received benefits from Spirit Hall", that's really a stupid analogy. Her mother was killed and just because he promised to revive her mother he asked Xiaowu not to hate the party that killed her mother, even if Xiaowu agreed what about Xiaowu's mother's response would the MC just tell her to do the same thing? Stupid really stupid just because this is a farming harem he wrote a broken plot like this. Okay, now the MC will talk about the "misunderstanding" nonsense again so that he can pick up a harem from Zhuqing and Zhuyun's feud, what a plot that is continuously recycled and forced. And the most annoying thing is that MC keeps letting Yu Xiaogang and his gang act as they please. MC just acts mysteriously by saying that he still wants to play with Yu Xiaogang and his gang so he doesn't beat Yu Xiaogang and his gang even when they do annoying things, all of that is done by MC just because he wants to hide his soul ring configuration to surprise Yu Xiaogang and his gang
