Japanese Storytelling

Hello! This is my first attempt at writing a novel, so I expect there may be some mistakes along the way. I would be very grateful if you could highlight any errors, as your feedback would be incredibly helpful for my development as a writer. Thank you for taking the time to check out my story; your support means a great deal to me. In this tale, we explore a world where the most powerful beings are as small as ants. The story follows the supreme gods and their father as they venture into this mysterious realm, searching for answers to the strange circumstances that have brought them down to this lower plane. What secrets does this world hold, and what led the supreme gods to this place? As they journey through the landscape, they face formidable enemies and potential allies, each possessing their own unique abilities and goals. This novel is closely tied to another story, but it primarily focuses on the complexities of world-building, the vastness of cosmology, and the exploration of overpowered characters, among other themes. Through rich descriptions and engaging storytelling, I hope to weave a captivating narrative that draws readers into the depths of this extraordinary universe. Your insights and constructive criticism will be crucial in helping me improve my writing, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Thank you once again for your interest in my novel!
