I feel like all of the ways that the death counter thing could've gone, I appreciate this god twist the least. It just feels kinda,,, cheap? Like, I get that having such a power is already unnatural, but just having the existence of a god who "felt like it" is so bland and made my previously doubtful enjoyment of the story just stop
honestly the "i felt like it" excuse is one of my least favorites when i see it in a story, it just feels like a super tacky way to explain things without really having to connect it to anything and ughh
