There are actually a lot of college kids here who only know "Shrek" as the name of a school in Douluo, and not some gaijin anime. Uncultured anti-intellectuals are so scary.
The reason why Douluo 2 started out like his other works but devolved into a mess and Zhang Wei started self-inserting into Tang San completely is because his writing was consistently too awful that it pissed off one is his biggest donor-backer, who backed out and stopped giving money, causing him to throw a hissy fit
There's a "life randomizer" type video that's kind of fun, like reading a whole fanfiction story in under five minutes, by having all the important plot points being put onto a series of wheels to spin to pick what kind of OC you're gonna get this time, which is really popular with JJK, and also Douluo, because of how it has an unique worldview inclusivity due to trashy worldbuilding
Zhang Wei was originally an eroge plagiarist, that is to say, he would write novels online copying the scripts of Japanese ero games, change the setting names and character names. This is why even his later stories, while looking like the other Chinese novels of the 2010's with harems and faceslap, always have a Japanese flavor.
Every main antagonist Zhang Wei writes is a woman with some kind of relation to the protagonist, because if the antagonist is a man without any relationship to the protagonist, then all of his protagonists in all his novels would be abused to death... so in a sense, it is kind of disgusting
Actually, Zhang Wei gets a cut from every secondary creation (fanfics, ai videos, cosplay, etc) pertaining to the "Douluo" IP (such as from bilbili, qq reader (tencent), douyin, etc), which is why even though it's a dead horse, he still beats it
If you think about it, in douluo world view, everyone's actually part of a caste system that is inherent to the worldbuilding, which is kind of gross lmao
"For all isekais, there is the danger of a 'Schrodinger's Tang Hao', he might be lurking in the shadows protecting Tang San, or he might be somewhere else, but you don't know, because that's how it is canonically. The only time you can pinpoint his location is at the start of the school year of each new school."
But they also say that Zhang Wei wasn't the real writer of Douluo Dalu 1, it was his first wife, who died later, which is why it has a different style than the sequels, since she ghostwritered it, but they, as a pair, used to write a lot of eroge light novels, so all of their stories tend to be in the format of erotic fiction, but they write worse than Nasu's mollusks
Apparently, people think that in Douluo, Sea God Island is allegory for Taiwan because of how it's where people escape to when they're defeated in the mainland, and the Divine Realm/God Realm is allegory for Japan because everyone's super suppressed so they get all sorts of fetishes
