The Absurdity of Douluo's Two Main Protagonists, Eunuch Dai: I...

"Huo Yuhao, I really don't understand why you carry this dagger around with you in the academy. It should count as a dangerous weapon, right? We're all students here, why would you keep a weapon on you? Besides, it's not even that powerful; it's practically useless."

Wang Dong voiced his curiosity at that moment, but upon hearing those words, Huo Yuhao felt his heart endure a fresh wave of torment.

Huo Yuhao was still a man consumed by the desire for revenge. He knew this dagger was given to his mother by that irresponsible man—the man who, after enjoying his mother's body, had discarded her like trash. He felt profound rage and hatred toward the White Tiger Duke.

Huo Yuhao truly wanted to take revenge on the White Tiger Duke Mansion, even wishing to destroy it entirely. He wanted to kill everyone—those in the White Tiger Duke Mansion who had bullied his mother, the Duchess, the soldiers of the Duke Mansion, and even their kin.

To put it simply, he wanted to wipe out everyone who had helped the Duchess bully Huo Yun'er back then, including the nine generations of their families.

The suffering Huo Yuhao endured was immense, essentially no less than the hardships faced by many protagonists in urban novels.

The male leads in those urban novels often suffer miserable fates, such as living in dog kennels or rooms unfit for servants and eating allergic foods. Huo Yuhao had experienced all of this; his plight was in no way inferior to those protagonists.

Thus, his desire to take revenge on the White Tiger Duke Mansion was understandable. The problem, however, was that Tang San, in order to better manipulate Huo Yuhao, chose to make him forgive the White Tiger Duke Mansion—which was absurd enough in itself.

Furthermore, Huo Yuhao's later choice to become obsessed with romance was quite ridiculous. He was supposed to be focused on his revenge, but instead! He went off to fall in love. And then, in the grand finale, when he should have taken his revenge, exposed the truth, ruthlessly mocked the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, and made that man pay the price—or at least made his two half-brothers pay—he chose to forgive them instead. It was truly absurd. One has to admire how effectively Tang San's "dog-like" indoctrination worked; he successfully brainwashed the boy.

Later on, he was supposed to be responsible for finding the other divine consciousness fragments of his teacher, Electrolux, but he forgot about that too. It was truly speechless.

This is exactly why many fan-fiction authors write Tang San as the final villain; he simply doesn't act like a decent human being.

The things he did later became increasingly outrageous, which led to the birth of anti-Tang San fan fiction.

At the same time, there are fan fictions that torment Huo Yuhao, precisely because these two protagonists contributed such speechless plots and infuriating segments. This is why a huge number of people rebel against Tang San the moment they transmigrate into Peerless Tang Sect or the first Douluo Dalu.

If Douluo Dalu had only been a single volume, perhaps no one would have criticized Tang San; after all, it is a fantasy world. But fantasy worlds themselves contain many plot holes, such as inconsistencies with other works or various exchanges of interests. If there had only been one book, Tang San probably wouldn't have been that bad; he would have just been a standard fantasy novel protagonist.

He wouldn't be a good person, but his desire for revenge would be understandable.

The problem is that later, when Tang San had already become a god, he still! Sabotaged the Douluo Continent. He made his own parents the Plane Masters and the Core of Life, yet they didn't benefit the continent at all. Instead, he introduced the Abyss, causing countless deaths on the Douluo Continent.

Moreover, he clearly had soul beast lineage, and Tang San's mother, the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin, also had soul beast blood, yet he didn't help the soul beasts at all. It was absurd—he ate from the soul beasts' bowl while smashing their pot.

Huo Yuhao also clearly enjoyed many benefits from the soul beasts, yet he didn't choose to stand up for them, instead creating the Soul Spirit system. This system should have theoretically eased the conflict between humans and soul beasts, but in the end, it still harmed them. One could say Xiong Jun's judgment was spot on.

None of the four protagonists in the Douluo series are good people. Although Tang Wulin could be considered to have some character, he eventually went bad as well. After learning what his parents had done, he didn't take a stand, didn't expose it all, and didn't provide any real help. Gu Yuena tried to mediate the conflict between humans and soul beasts, but overall, none of the four protagonists were particularly impressive.

Basically, they are all good people on the surface, waving the banner of justice while committing the most disgusting acts.

"This thing was given to me by my mother. It was left behind by her, and it was also left for her by the person who hurt her. I dislike that man very much, but since this is the only thing my mother left me, I have no choice but to keep it. I don't know whether to throw it away or keep it."

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was essentially confessing some of his experiences, though he didn't reveal everything. He felt that even if he told Wang Dong, Wang Dong wouldn't be able to help him. After all, the object of his hatred was the White Tiger Duke, the God of War of the Star Luo Empire!

Even if Wang Dong had a background, he might not be as powerful as an entire empire. One had to know that the Star Luo Empire was the strongest among the Douluo Three Kingdoms in terms of comprehensive national strength.

However, in terms of soul master combat power, they were inferior to the Heaven Dou Empire because the Heaven Dou Empire had recruited the Body Sect, and having a level 98 Title Douluo meant the Star Luo Empire couldn't truly gain the upper hand.

But the Star Luo Empire's comprehensive strength was still second only to the Sun Moon Empire, so Huo Yuhao didn't disclose the detailed inside story.

"The person who hurt your mother... could it be your father?" Wang Dong didn't know what to say at that moment. Wang Dong's own memories of his parents were very vague; he only had his Big Uncle and Second Uncle.

Wang Dong also didn't know why his memories of his parents were so blurry. If he ever found out what kind of people his parents were, he would likely collapse. After all, is splitting one's own daughter's soul something a human being would actually do?

In fact, many readers are very curious why Tang San would be so heartless as to split his own daughter's soul. She was the daughter born to the woman he loved, yet he chose to split her soul just for the sake of the so-called "big picture." Isn't that just too absurd?

This has led many to speculate that Tang Wutong might not be Tang San's biological daughter. Otherwise, why would Tang Wutong's martial soul be the Radiant Goddess Butterfly?

It feels very wrong, too absurd. So, many people speculate about what happened during that process, but the problem is that the author refuses to budge, so there's nothing they can do.
