Upon first inspection, you could be forgiven for thinking this is a chunni fever dream. And you'd be right. Isekai with no magic or monsters almost feels like slice of life, except that little drops of ominous foreshadowing to suggest this world ain't quite right... Forced euthanasia and the aid of a loli-kami-sama. The conflict has been set up, and this might be decent fun in its own right!

There might me an interesting concept to explore here- the state of creation absent a creator- but I doubt anything meaningful would be done in that regard. The greatest strength of this is that there are genuinely so many ways the story could progress that I'm interested to see what happens next. Rare for isekai.
