Is anyone else already feeling of Ragnarok the story?

When I first heard that they were splitting Ragnarok into three (maybe four) Books, I was really upset considering that it meant that they were going to drag out the ending for several more years. However, as we saw in the story, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to expand more on the established cast in Heroes, having them interact with the characters of the Nine Realms and to revisit each realm as they're being destroyed.

Hell, they even had Thorr accompany us, the character who barely got any screentime due to Loki being the more prominent one, and the idea of the gods being revived and having their own Chosen Hero, some with us, some against us, is already a great idea!

...But... We're already halfway through the Winter arc, and I didn't need to read the story for long before I got the feeling of "been there, done that"; Nifl is revived and helps Fjorm with another new alt, only to be immediately killed by Fimbulvetr. Muspell is revived and takes his revenge on the Muspell siblings and revives Surtr, causing Laegjarn to have to take Muspell's power and kill her father...which ended up being almost identical to what happened in Book 2, and its TT Story, Ice & Flame. Thorr also barely got any time to shine, though that might change after the midpoint once Jormungandr enters the fray.

At this point, it feels to me like the story is just recycling the same scripts as what happened in earlier Books, with the only real change is that there's a new, destructive threat and some other new character as well. Everything else is basically identical to what happened before. It's like the story writers are just going through the motions without trying to give anyone else who isn't the most popular character from each realm the spotlight. And I won't be surprised if the other two phases of Ragnarok are exactly like this.

Does anyone else feel the same?

EDIT: "Feeling sick of Ragnarok" was meant to be the title but I forgot the word "sick" aaaaaaaaaaa

Honestly, all of the art on this banner is great. The "fallen" effects they've given to everyone looks super menacing in their own way. Shout-outs to Ivy for having dark thorns growing around her; that's so creative. And Daisuke Izuka the goat himself makes Fallen Miklan look savage.

That being saaaaaid...all of their special art is a bit on the lackluster side. They're not bad at all, but I definitely don't think there was enough "oomph" added to the special effects. So none of them are S-Tier in my eyes, but I think all of them are a solid A-Tier.

I can't say who I like better since I think I like them all equally. Maybe that'll change later as I rank them again later; we'll see.

I know the update has been out a while ago, but I had some personal drama to deal with, so sorry about that.

Now then, I do know YEirika's refine is really good and people say Muarim's is trash, but what about everyone else in between?

I was genuinely surprised to see another double feature, this time it's another Legendary and a Mythic, when usually it was just a Mythic.

If we got both of them now, then what would we get next month? Another Legendary? Or another Emblem? I would say Mythic, but I doubt we'll get another so soon.
