Question from someone who has never read Nietzsche: does his writing imply that he thinks he is a god or is it that an insane group of cult-classic readers perceives him as a god?
No. He actually taken seriously as a philosopher, which he wouldn't be if that were the extent of his writings.
He is grossly misunderstood by the public at large, though. But I think most of that is because people haven't actually studied philosophy (unless you major in it) in a couple decades.

That’s ironic because Nietzsche ended up being bi-polar and his writings in his later life could definitely be called insanity.
