This is the latest volume of Guin Saga, entitled “The Child Chosen”.
This is what Skarr (the second son of the Arugosu’s king) said:
“You say that we, who are at the mercy of the gods, try to escape fate desperately to survive or try to achieve our ambitions while, in the far corners of the world, necromancers and strange monsters who came from nowhere are gathering power to dominate the whole world? No kidding!”
The storyline seems to be becoming a magic and monster story. I prefer human stories to stories about magic or monsters. If a powerful wizard appears, settles wars and saves people in the end, the story is absurd.
I believe that telling a wizard story is difficult because the author must decide what a powerful wizard can’t do. If there are many almighty wizards, regular people are useless. The author of Guin Saga might have known this and therefore made Skarr speak the lines above.
The problem is that the author has died. Who can take over the world’s longest great story?
I wasn't entirely sure what you meant by "indifferent." "Indifferent" means "uninterested" or "not caring about the outcome of a situation," but I think you meant something more like "powerless." Is that right?

Also, "No kidding!" has a completely different, humorous tone compared to the grandiose sentence before it. If that effect wasn't intentional, it should probably be left out.
