Stop Sacrificing Things to Me!

A new book.

This book is good, but the beginning was really tough. The protagonist is portrayed like a demon god. The adventure itself is fine, but the problem lies with the little girl who plays the female lead at the beginning. She seems to have a sense of futurism and constantly expresses insecurity. This creates an overall feeling of unease throughout the book, making the reader—or rather, me—feel shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, powerless to change anything. It made me feel powerless while reading. I don't read novels under pressure, but the atmosphere in the early parts made it difficult for me to enjoy the book. If this feeling of powerlessness could be hidden and released in a chapter, the novel would be amazing. But reading it like this, constantly being pressured, is very uncomfortable.

The beginning and middle of this book are quite good, but the ending is a bit far-fetched. If sacrificing oneself could obtain that level of energy/power, I think the gods who sacrificed themselves earlier could have done it themselves; there was no need for the protagonist to do it. Furthermore, the method of sacrifice wasn't invented by the protagonist; it was discovered through archaeological digging. This suggests that the gods before the protagonist could very well have known (or rather, must have known). I feel the setting should be changed to: this is the world's final dance, creating the ultimate sacrifice, and then pointing out that saving the world isn't simply a matter of voluntary, grand sacrifices, but rather the final and initial sacrifice performed by all life in the world at this moment; only the echo of the world's end can become the cry of its rebirth. This explains why, after the previous gods had all died, there were no grand sacrifices, or why they couldn't perform them. Otherwise, it's hard to understand why, after the previous gods had all died in succession, no believers offered themselves as sacrifices. The story arranges for a painless and rapid "world-ending" as the final sacrifice, ushering in a new era for the world. The protagonist inherits many elements from the previous generation. The gods of the previous generation were not useless people waiting to be executed, but rather they endured humiliation and sacrificed everything to lay out a backup plan, waiting for the protagonist. The protagonist's ascension to godhood is also the world's final self-salvation.
