Agreed that this isn't a good build, but a bit of an explanation on your comment would always be appreciated.

Fee, this isn't an optimal build for a variety of reasons.

While it's good that you started with Eye Of The Jungle, you're replacing it late. Typically you keep the starter and just upgrade it, though in some cases you can in fact consider replacing it. Just a thought there.
Chernobog isn't a burst god. While Jotunn's Wrath is great for CDR, that's not really going to help him get kills on gods. He uses his abilities typically to help him control a fight (1+2 combo) or just uses the 2 for the steroid, while he saves his 3 for mobility. It might be nice to be able to ult more often and be able to jump to various enemies quickly, but as the ult doesn't do any damage, I don't think CDR is his best bet.
In addition, you've got 2 glyphs... Jotunn's Ferocity and Malicious Deathbringer. You can't get both in one build.
Following Jotunn's up with Odysseus' Bow isn't a great idea. In most cases, early/mid game you're not really teamfighting much, and while O-Bow has good AS, it has no power (so doing no favors for crit damagek) and you're probably not getting much out of O-Bow's passive.
If you choose to go with crit (which is fine), Atalanta's Bow + Deathbringer is a fine combo, as you don't have lifesteal earlier in the build (Ata thus covers that) and you're getting 50% crit chance, which is the minimum I would suggest. But you're getting Qin's Sais in-between these items. While Qin's is a very solid item, by this point in the build you're sorely lacking in a stat you don't get until your last item, which is Silverbranch Bow in this case. Gods are tankier than ever, and you really should be getting some % pen earlier.
Finally, this build is a bit two-headed, and not sure where it's going. It's technically a hybrid CDR / basic attack crit build, but again I don't know about the CDR aspect here. IF you do a hybrid build along these lines, I would probably take a closer look at Fail-Not for both CDR and crit chance instead of Atalanta's Bow / Jotunn's Ferocity, and pick up something like Asi to get your lifesteal. But I still probably wouldn't do that, and I would just go with a more standard basic attack crit build.
