Which idiot decided that it is a good idea to split this to multiple entries?!
13 episodes per "part"... how did you even come up with this number, huh?
And those "part" names sound like something taken from the source...

I thought the primary purpose of MAL was to build My Anime List - what is currently being watched, what is completed, what is pending, etc.

This entry break-up totally wrecks my progress of Douluo Dalu.
Tell me, Oh Bright Ones, how do i mark now that i have watched up to episode 113 (total S1+S2+...) ???

I made a post about it on Anime DB modification board as I too find the change quite puzzling.

The irony is Anilist also had this split into many seasons, but the same day MAL split the entry into multiple seasons, Anilist actually condensed theirs into 2.

2 makes sense to me as there were a number of months between episode 26's end and episode 27. Since then the show has aired every week without missing a single week. Hopefully they look closer at it.

Agreed. There are 2 entries for the "Second Season" of this series that are the exact same title.

Season 2 should simply be added as "Douluo Dalu 2nd Season" or "Soul Land 2nd Season"
Not all this Season 1 part 1 / part 2, season 2 part1/part2 mumbo jumbo that random sites on the internet use.

That or find a way to just make the Douluo Dalu Soul Land entry have the "Ongoing Status" as the naming scheme on the interwebs usually starts with an episode number that indicates what episode number it is out of the entire series (not the season).

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this was a total mess and makes no sense at all. It became impossible to know at which episode I am with MAL.

Check the "Background info" field here - https://myanimelist.net/anime/49063/Douluo_Dalu__Shan_Yu_Yu_Lai
It says "Starting from Episode 157 (Season 2 – Episode 131)"

BTW. the current total number of each episode can be seen in the ED when they count the number of 3D models, etc.

I watch this on wcoforever and S03E01 is S02E53 on that site all the way up to the current season. It was a mess until I decided to make a note comparing wcoforever and MAL's version. Making it a little bit easier ^-^
