God nerfed me too hard and now life is agony

The Goblin Problem is when a story establishes a group of creatures to serve as recurrent antagonists (not necessarily all one species; in a lot of rpg games this can broadly apply to "monsters") THAT:

Are never negotiable, or the negotiable parties among them are Token Heroic Orcs- that is to say, they are seen as objectors or 'good' versions who have absolutely no connections to, and hold no objections toward you attacking, the rest of their brethren, who they have forsaken as the price to be paid for being good.

Have obvious unique technology; they may attack you with weapons found nowhere else in the game, demonstrate the ability to speak, have their own obvious language, tame a creature that nobody else tames so that it's thus impossible that they are stealing already-tamed specimens from someone else

Are characterized primarily or exclusively as raiders who attack others, with the justification this means they are inferior creatures parasitically dependent on Good, Civilized Settings, e.g. they cannot possibly be sustainably hunting, gathering, or practicing either nomadic or settled agriculture.

Are often defined as having no choice to be evil or are created by a greater evil to serve as thralls, and yet, will not under any circumstances be regarded as indoctrinated victims, or if that is mentioned, there will nonetheless be an overarching lack of narrative concern as to where or how the survivors should live after the greater evil is taken care of, or if effort should be made to challenge the indoctrination and give them the ability to choose their lives.

Purgatory - the idea of a place where you weren't evil but also weren't "saved" and so, you go to an in-between. I think that the possibility of rising up from Purgatory into Paradise is from Dante, but it is nonetheless part of my ideology. It's not a Catholic idea but I also do not believe in Hell/Punishment as eternal. (Hell is also separate from Punishment in my personal ideology for Reasons)

Confession, Penance & Forgiveness - the idea of sharing your mistakes/Sins with another person and being given a task to make up for those mistakes and that once you have, you're forgiven? I think this is very good. Protestantism lacks this, from how I was taught. Which I think is part of why Protestants are so fucking weird about sin and trying to obsessively avoid it instead of seeing sin as something you do sometimes and then try to make amends for. It's not a permanent stain, just a mistake that you can undo.

Works - the idea that your behavior on Earth influences what happens to your Soul when you die. Hate the Born Again type narrative where if you've Accepted Christ as Lord & Savior you're going to heaven. Well why is sin still wrong then? What reason does anyone have to be good? (I am good not bc of some promised reward, mind you, but Evangelicals especially seem to have no interest in actually doing good and I think the threat of going to hell if they continue to be assholes would be beneficial).

The Virgin Mary - I love her, I think she deserves to be revered and loved. End of.

Purgatory itself is indeed the non permanent transition state after death and before heaven, and is generally considered to be a truly awful experience—your sins are supposed to be “burned away” so that you’ll be pure enough to enter heaven. yuck.

In essence, by that flawed logic, every historian interested in that subject, for instance, would take leave of their senses (both generally and their sense of self) eventually and start believing the propaganda they are studying or at the very least start to sympathise with it on some level.
