Author's Note

This is not a chapter

.................................

I'd like to address somethings going forward with this fanfiction.

While reviewing the notes I've made for my plans for this novel, I've noticed some discrepancies in my and the authors logic. Please don't misunderstand. I'm not saying I'm in any way better than the original author: This is a non-profit fanfiction of his work. But I've noticed some disturbing plot holes in his work and mine. Going forward I aim to do my best in improving myself as a writer the best I can. I'm an amateur writer as it stands doing this for fun. My aim in writing this novel is satiating the knawing desire of how things could have been in Douluo Dalu 2 from my perspective. Please keep in my that i started skipping through chapters from the yin yang valley arc.

1. Cultivation isn't clear as is it is in other novels. In some wuxia and xianxia we've seen where 100 (conservatively) at the ninth rank of one realm can't beat a single person of the first rank of another realm. He leaves it vague presumably because of the team battles. So that we assume they all have similar levels so teaming up has an impact. Also the crossing of realms gives rings and soulforce improvement but how much stronger are they really? What changes? There are many details not expounded on, flight, physique etc. What are other cultivation techniques?

2. Logic and distance. Huo yuhao as a 10th rank soul scholar somehow traveled 300 miles a day for six days. 1800 miles from the north central star luo empire to the star dou forest. The scaling of this is roughly longer than asia which is 1500 miles long in one direction. While the scale of the world isn't a problem. I don't have a clear idea of the world map as only a vague one is given. Unlike ours, where i know where each of the continents are and major archipelagos.

3. Soul Beast cultivation isn't really expounded on. Do they evolve from eating soul masters? Or from eating stronger soul beasts? Is it believable that they shouldn't? If a ten year old soul beast ate a soul emperor of course we'd expect it to evolve right?

4. What exactly is the scope outside of soul cultivation? That guy he fought and later befriended with spear intent that turned his rings grey. And the domain his comprehended. Is that all? Is there sword intent? Are there realms of intent?

5. There are special cases like being born with a martial soul but what other special cases are there?

6. What is the scope of the seas, skies, empires, soul beast territories etc. Special realms. In fighting. coups. What are the clans within these territories? Other than the mentioned white tiger clan, evil eye clan etc.

7. 10000 years is a long time, soul tools are only the fruits of the sun moon empire's history. What about the douluo continent? what have they achieved in the 10000 years? Martial arts, techniques, etc like fine wine get better with time and constant refinement. What are the new martial arts that have been constantly refined.

These are only a few of the problems I've seen. While there isn't a glaring insufficiency, there is a need for consistency and specificity. I will be adding details where i deem fit. I will do my best on world building. But I want to highlight that some things will not be the same. I also do not intend to write a short novel. Hopefully i will write a novel that is long and not rushed yet not drawn out. Please keep in mind some things must be ignored for efficiency, such as: It's another world so what we call fish they might call clouds Or they are talking Chinese but we are interpreting it as English etc. Also please note, going forward i want to write a dynamic novel with 40% of the main character pov and the other 60% split between other characters. The story will be told from a reincarnated perspective so please note some random info dumps will be given. However it is unavoidable that i can not make all things explicit.

I will do my best to flesh out the story and improve my writing techniques, so please bear with amateur's scribble work for now.

Just treat me and my novel as an extra, you read for kicks. I have work and its just a hobby so it'll be a long journey.

Please add the plot holes you've seen in the novel. This and the original.

Please don't add things such as you don't like a certain character or relationship.

Also keep in my mind, i can't have a line by line, chapter by chapter plan but i have a plan noting the broad details and goals i want to achieve. So i might change already published words but i'll try not make it too drastic.

Again in the comments please just add plot holes and inconsistencies. Your opinions are much appreciated.

For the foreseeable future i will stock pile chapters and then release them.
