Speculations Is Sword God on the same tier as Sun God, Earth God, Forest God, and Sea God?

There’s a difference.
The Sword God became a god by rising from a human level he had to work for it.
In contrast, the Sun God, Earth God, Forest God, and Sea God are divine powers that are granted or inherited by those chosen to receive them
The Sword God is probably a one time thing.
in the same tier ? idk thats up to oda

Maybe the awakening of the Supa Supa no Mi (Daz Bones' fruit) holds the potential to become a Sword God, especially in the hands of a highly skilled swordsman like S-Hawk. After all, the user becomes a blade. A swordsman in the past might have manifested the fruit through a desire to become the ultimate swordsman, one who could cut anything.
You can keep waiting but it doesn't look like your reading will get any better
I didn't say Oda created a self insert of himself in order to call ryuuma a god.
I said oda made a specific choice in the narrative for a reason. I'm deconstructing the narrative.
I also don't subscribe to your subjective criteria on what counts as oda speaking directly to the reader.

Honestly? I think you might be onto something, here.

The four Gods we know about follow the Five Elements fairly closely. Fire, Earth, Water, Wood, and Metal. Sun God, Earth God, Sea God, and Forest God. These five elements also line up with the names of the first five inner planets of our solar system in Japanese. Mercury is called Suisei or "Water Star", Venus is Kinsei or "Metal Star" and so on. Which lines up with the Gorosei's names.

But, we seem to be missing our fifth "Metal God". And I find it odd that it hasn't even been mentioned in the story yet. I have been wondering if Sengoku's Golden Buddha Statue Fruit could be our "Fifth God", since the Japanese word for "metal" is "kin" which is literally also "gold". But, even that doesn't feel like it quite lines up.

But, if we consider that a "Sword God" IS our missing fifth "Metal God", that might actually make some sense. It's a title that has been brought up in the story before, as a title Ryuma earned. And we all know how much Oda loves to seed ideas years in advance. It doesn't seem to rely on a Devil Fruit like the other Gods seem to. But, maybe this one is just different? Or maybe, ultimately, Zoro will end up getting a special new sword that's already "eaten" the "Sword God Fruit", like Shamrock's Cerberus Sword? Maybe this will be a "God Fruit" NOT for a human to eat, but for a weapon or object to "eat"?

Maybe Ryuma had a sword that "ate" this hypothetical "Sword God Fruit"? Maybe Mihawk's Yoru currently has the "Sword God Fruit", explaining why he's the World's Strongest Swordsman? Maybe one of the treasures the Strawhats could find at Laugh Tale is this "Sword God Fruit", that Zoro will need to use to cut something nearly uncuttable? There's some possibilities at play here. It could go in different directions.
But, yeah, I think there's a possibility that a "Sword God" could come up more in the story down the road. It's possible you're onto something, here.
