The themes could include redemption. Maybe the man is trying to redeem the city or himself within the context of this fallen city. Also, the theme of powerlessness is possible. Since the gods have fallen, there is a sense of lost power, and the man has to deal with this new reality where he might not have the same kind of support or structure that the presence of gods might have provided.
One possible theme could be isolation. With just one man in a city of fallen gods, he is likely to be alone and cut off from others. Another theme might be decay, as the city of fallen gods implies a place that has deteriorated from its former state.
I haven't read this novel specifically. But generally, it might be about a lone individual in a city that was once associated with gods but has now 'fallen'. Maybe the man has to face challenges that are related to the decay or downfall of the once - godly city, like dealing with remnants of old powers or trying to find a new purpose in a desolate place.
One possible theme could be forbidden love. As the title implies, the love in the story is likely not allowed within the royal context.
One main theme could be love and its complexity. In a fallen city, love might be a glimmer of hope or a source of despair. Another theme could be the decay of society which serves as the backdrop and influences the relationships in the novel.
Power struggle is likely a theme. Gods and demons usually have different levels of power and would compete for dominance.
One possible theme could be loss. The fallen star might represent something that has been lost, like a dream or a relationship, and the Sea of Okhotsk could be the setting where the characters come to terms with this loss.
The novel 'urban gods' referred to some authors who were very famous in urban novels. Their works usually had deep social insight and discussion of human nature, which were deeply loved by readers. Here are some famous urban novel gods: 1 Ear Root: The representative work, One Thought for Eternity, tells the story of the growth of an ear root with the theme of cultivation. 2. Chen Dong: The representative work, Shrouding the Sky, tells the story of a person playing chess on a chessboard with heaven and earth as the chessboard. [3. Forgotten Words: His masterpiece, The Library of Heaven's Path, tells the story of a cultivator searching for the Library of Heaven's Path with the background of immortal cultivation.] 4. Beacon Fire Playing with the Dukes: The representative work, Lord Snow Eagle, used military as the theme to tell a story about war and human nature from the perspective of the lord. [5. Maiden: His masterpiece," Celebrating Years," tells the story of a cultivator in the late Ming Dynasty with history as the background. 6. Forgotten Words: The representative work, Blessing of Heavenly Officials, tells the story of an immortal and a human with Xianxia as the background. These were just some of the works of the great urban novel gods. There were many other outstanding authors whose works were also very popular among readers.
One possible theme could be redemption. As Thor is in a 'fallen' state, the story could revolve around him trying to redeem himself in the eyes of his people or in his own eyes.
The themes include the fragility of relationships. The stories show how relationships can be easily affected by external factors. For example, in some of the stories, economic hardships put strain on the characters' love and family ties. Also, the theme of cultural identity is present. The characters are often caught between different cultures, trying to find their place.
Survival could be a major theme. If there's only one man left, he has to figure out how to stay alive. Another theme might be isolation as he is the last man. And of course, the 'one small step' could suggest the theme of progress or change.
Another theme could be resilience. In an Australian context, he could be facing the harsh Australian environment, whether it's the outback, bushfires, or floods, and still standing strong. And also, self - discovery could be a theme. As he is alone, he has the chance to learn more about himself.
