This implies that we experience growth internally, separate from external factors. So focus on yourself!

The plot of goblin slayer is that they are easy to kill like really easy to kill so easy in fact that no true adventure would soil their reputation fighting them but the problem is that they get their strength in numbers not might so while everyone is focusing on the bigger issues the every day problems are tearing people apart (it's a metaphor) anyway the thing that makes the over leveled hero a hero is the fact that he spends time keeping the goblins at bay.

I love the way he articulates that everyone wants the glory of killing the demon king, but since everyones chasing the demon king no one has been culling goblins and now theyre almost unchecked and heroes would have no home to return to.

He's like almost the highest rank adventurer for just being a "gardener" on the home front

Until they decide to come back once fully leveled, then it's wholesome with a dash of wholesale genocide

Guilty sin: getting leveled and going back to stride like a god wreaking destruction on earlier enemies which gave you so much trouble.

It's basically þe entire post- game theme of all Borderlands games.

Guilty? Nah. Valheim is one of my favorite games. My first adventure into the plains was ROUGH. I developed a burning hatred for those little green goblin bastards. I got stronger, then I came for their heads.

Mobs in valheim have a low chance to drop a trophy. For most things, it's a head. I currently have about 300 fuling (goblin) heads lining the walls of a shed. I have killed thousands and it brings me joy.

Metal gear solid was fun for that, either gaining infinite ammo or invisibility once you complete the game and start anew
