If it makes you feel any better, the giant's not necessarily made entirely of normal flesh and bone anymore. His body got converted into a Magi-Tech Elemental Titan...thingie some centuries before the story begins.
The world this takes place in was specifically constructed so that no matter how ludicrus the way an idea violates physics I can write it off as either, "Magic, your argument is invalid..", "Super technology handles that like this..." or "Magi-Tech, your argument is invalid". :P

I wish you success of it, but I suspect that a book written consciously from that philosophy will not, alas, be something I could enjoy reading.

Thanks for the wish of luck. I will though continue to research and try to see what else can be done so that even the absurd can be not so far fetched.

I think this would work best as a humorous story, then I can see enjoying it-given that his premise reminds me of Xanth.

Xanth is beyond "does not work for me" into "gives me hives", fwiw.
