Other comments give a good overview but miss out problems with the story.

The plot and premise is great, however it is MC is a poor fit for it.

The MC begins as an immature child - which is fine, but then fails to grow or mature at a good pace as the story develops.

The MC has the power to heal or destroy the world at will but fails to grasp the significance and act prudently.

Overcoming one’s past does not give you the excuse to abuse your position of power (through negligence). The world has gods and magic but doesn’t have a mechanic to mature a personality that becomes the water spirit king? Typical contrived story telling.

This is a work that focuses on how the MC deals with being thrust into a fantasy world where they have to reconcile their past with their new identity and circumstances. I recommend reading this if you want to explore a fairly unique fantasy world with a fairly lighthearted tone in a story more about character development than fighting and you don't mind reading 5 chapters before you judge it.

A major focus is the MC trying to overcome an abusive past, trying to attain a sense of belonging and family, and dealing with the fact that, because of their new incarnation, people see them very differently (i.e. they were a frumpy guy before and now they are a very beautiful genderless person). That being said, this isn't some super serious introspective work, the humor and adventure give it a very lighthearted tone.

In terms of action, it mostly consists of the MC exploring the fantasy world they're in and going on adventures. There are some fights, but they are a very, very minor part of the work as a whole.

A large element of this is comedy, in the form of the characters interacting with each other in humorous ways.

This work, like the novel it's based on, has a bit of a slow start, chapter 5 is where you start to get into the meat and potatoes of it.
