Pretty light and fluffy. Main character is basically a god who's a "humanity nerd", so his only real motivations are to try out different things humans do and get them to get along with each other. He even reincarnates into a human just because he really wants to savor observing how they've changed, spends days peeling potatoes because it's something humans do that he's never tried before, and so on. So yeah, no serious stakes. Despite the seeming revenge story setup, main character reconciles with one of the other five creator gods in the prologue. He treats various standard corruption and politics elements of the fantasy story like a dad scolding his children, as there's very little they could do to actually threaten a god. And the god's themselves act more like teenagers with grudges between each other and odd personality types, as there's very little they can do to permanently harm each other either (save one rather dark reveal in the backstory). Most arcs are about repairing or creating interpersonal relationships between the "heroes" of the five other gods or the gods themselves, and the others the main characters meet along the way. Little bit of mystery as to where monsters and fuel source for modern technology comes from early on, but nothing major. By chapter 100 or so the series starts outright stating it's aspirations to be a fantasy comedy (as opposed to say high school comedy), with characters meta textually pointing out who the "straight man" characters are and whatnot.All and all a relaxing read, I'm quite enjoying it. If you're interested in slice of life / comedy story in the framework of a sci-fi / fantasy type setting a la Chrono Trigger, give it a try.
