Spoiler for Yes, Yes, No. Arguement:

Yes, he's divinely powerful. Yes, he hasn't hurt anyone when he's been in control of himself. Yes, he's probably saved more lives than he's harmed/taken. No, I do not agree that this those points allow him to just ignore his traumatic events.

Quite honestly, the effects of a "typical" person ("typical" in this case being the local equivalent of what I think a 'White Middle-Class Teenager who is probably be just a background character in movies, tv and video games' is) killing somone could be emotionally devistating. This likelyhood is multiplied by the fact that the people he killed accepted him when everyone else chased him away, probably with weapons, taught them how to speak their language, and all around quickly became like a second family to him.

Okay, sure, the town died because they tried to turn him into an evil god, but by then he had probably been about as emotionally invested in the people of the town as a freshly brainwashed cult member is emotionally invested in their cult. And he only got control of his body back because one of them sacrificed their soul to him. So that can be seen as a minor point, especially when looked through the badly prescribed glasses of emotion.

If you're looking for a story of someone having a realistic (possible) climb from the depths of depression, with some interesting asides such as literally dealing with a world that drastically changed when he wasn't looking, this sounds like story for you. If you're looking for a story about someone who's overpowered and getting on with life no matter what's in their past, you might want to look somewhere else.

Spoiler for The villagers:

I believe that not all of the villagers are part of the cult. He was just tricked by bad people and not by all the villagers.
