    This book! The story is roughly about a world plagued by recurring natural disasters, where only one person (let's call him the savior) can save the world. However, this person isn't the protagonist; the protagonist is someone other than the savior. The work is a typical example of historical materialism and a people-centered perspective on history. Even from the beginning, you can see that the world-building is incredibly vast. There are also many stories of previous generations of justice that haven't been fully explored.
