Genre: Comedic fantasy, high-octane anime-style fiction
Style: Absurd, full of contrasts, fiery, and delightfully ridiculous
- Tathagata sits on his lotus throne, doing only three things each day: collecting merit, checking attendance, and punishing his subordinates
- The story explores his mindset in detail: selfish, controlling, and convinced that gods and Buddhas are all just tools
- He is insatiably greedy for incense offerings, the power of prayers, and faith points
