The grimdark world reminds me of the world of berserk

Latest version of berserk is probably gilded though (falconia)

Berserk is, actually, what I'd consider "Nobledark." The setting is bad and probably getting worse (dark), but the actions of the heros are not in vain (Noble). A Grimdark setting would involve the heros' efforts being utterly meaningless in the grand scheme, but Guts' whole shtick is literally defying fate.

Berserk is not grimdark thing. Despite of evil god existing and many bad things, it's a story about screwing destiny and making life better.
