Recently I've heard that Mad Snail hasn't been releasing as much chapters as he has before, leading some to believe he might axe the series soon. I really hope that isn't the case cause I love this series.

So the point to this forum was to list the things the author needs to finish before ending the series. I'm going to list in no particular order what I think Mad Snail should do before ending it and things I want to see.

At this point in time I am only at chapter 346, so if there are things that have already be done in later chapters please let me know.



Things that NEED to be done...


- Epic battle between Nie Li and his crew against the Sage Emperor and his 6 Deity Beast ending with ES's defeat.

- Nie Li finally marries his wives. Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning'er, Long Yuyin and any other Goddess that might be introduced in the future. (That right, I'm hoping for the harem king route)

- Nie Li finds all the lost pages of the Temporal Demon Spirit Book and finds the Temporal Demon Spirit Book again in this life and uncovers its mysteries.

- Nie Li needs to defeat the four other chosen ones and masters the ten word chant as well as meet with and discover the mysteries of Emperor Kong Ming.

- Nie Li finally integrates with 7 Demon Spirit Beast.

- Nie Li finally gives Duan Jian a GOD DAMN Demon Spirit Beast. (This has been bugging me)

- The defeat of the Demon God Sect.

- Finally figuring out if that God Damn Xiao Yu is a girl or not (please be a girl the teasing is pissing me off, I need to know!)

- Discovering Xiao Yu's true identity.

- Discovering Yu Yan's past.

- Yu Yan regains her powers? and with the help of Nie Li defeats the Beast Tribe.

- Epic showdown between Yu Yan and Zhu Long ending with Zhu Long's defeat.

- Ye Yan finally gets a real body.

- Ye Zong gets revived.

- Nie Li defeats the Demon Lord in an epic battle putting an end to the Dark Guild.

- Nie Li discovers the use of the Black Pearl. The one he found in the Heavenly Marks Family treasury.

- We discover the full abilities of the Soul Mirror.

- We discover what the origins of the Nightmare Demon Pot

- Nie Li unleashes the full power of the Thunder God Meteorite Sword (I think the names cool)

- Going back to Glory City



Things I want to see...


- More development between Nie Li and Xiao Ning'er (I'm on team Ning'er, Ning'er for the win)

- Jindan matures to adulthood. (Think how badass this would be)

- Nie Li masters the Sparkling Flying Knife Set. (Not important but would be nice)

- Nie Li gains more power over Laws, like the Nether Law or something.

- Ye Zuyin and Xiao Ning'er have some girl and girl action (Just kidding or am I ;D)

- More story of Nie Li's adventure before he was reincarnated, like the time he spent with Ning'er after she became ugly or his trainer with his master or how he grew to the top level.

- Nie Li and company travelling to the Ancestral Demonic Saint Land.

- Meeting the Holy Maiden.


Ok I'm pretty sure there are a lot more that I'd like to list but I can't think of them at the moment but if you have your own ideas on what needs to be done before TDG ends or things you want to see please let me know I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.

I haven't really read the entire series so far (I remember I stopped awhile ago when the translations were only around chapter 100 or so) so I can't really speak to what needs to happen.

This is really my own little rant against Mad Snail. He wrote a previous series that apparently is a prequel to TDG called Cult of the Sacred Runes. I heard that ended abruptly b/c he decided to write TDG.

This seems to be a pattern b/c he has a new series he's apparently working on (not released yet).

I recommend to anyone who enjoys reading Xianxia or translated novels in general, avoid Mad Snail like the plague. It's one thing if an author messes up the ending of a series by accident, but it's entirely different if he gives up on it before he finishes to pursue another work.

I don't plan on getting back into TDG unless it has a definite, satisfying ending.

Thanks for your input. I don't doubt what you say its true that having a crappy ending is way better than not having an ending at all but I really hope Mad Snail's previous pattern doesn't repeat this time around.

As far as the chapters go, I think the raws are currently at ch. 439 and from what I can tell they're a long way from facing the Sage Emperor.

I think he would need to do at least another 400 or 500 chapters for me to actually have a satisfied ending but as much as I don't like it I don't think that would be the case but heres hoping.

I assure you; you can imagine how all of that plays out just as well as he can write it. He's constantly adding new things and then forgetting about them. So to finish the story, you just have to figure out his mindset. His focus is on always making Nie Li stronger, with the result of only ever making him sound stronger. For instance, the Spiritual Origin Fruit. That made no significant difference in their cultivation, but he talked about it for two chapters and what ever came of it? He didn't tie it back into anything. It was just another thing to talk about and forget about.

And with Mad Snails tendency for exaggeration, we're never really sure if "significantly improved his cultivation" means he raised half a rank, or raised 1/400th of a rank.

As far as Duan Jian's spirit beast, I'm not sure he needed one until he entered into the Heavenly Fate Realm, and only a dragon bloodline beast would do. He has dragon's blood in his veins afterall, so should be similar to Long Yuyin
