But at the end of the day, you write your storyOpposite to the kind of story where the MC only cultivate and level up (Maybe for hundred, thousand or millennium) until he/she become invincible, become the omniscient and omnipotent. However, if you remove the super power then the protagonist doesn't change much (You may argue that the MC become more mature or the kind of that, THAT RIGHT! Every writer know what is character development thus there is no way the MC character remains the same as the beginning). What I want to stress here is that after the MC becomes invincible, gets married and haves offspring, achieves the "Happy ever after ending". There is almost no difference between the mortal at the beginning and the omnipotent being at the end, except for some kind of special power level- cultivation.
Things are different in this book, It clearly explains the process of one kind of life form evolving into a higher one. The things you lose and the things you need. At certain level, there no longer exist the concept of good and evil, only one own stand point.
The fundamental problem with writing a GOD is that a GOD by definition is Omnipotent, all knowing, all powerful. PERFECT.So umm I've been thinking about writing a novel with a god as a protagonist and I really need some tips or idea on what the gods do because just managing worlds, balance and order seems boring
Eat them. Problem solved.Gods usually have their hands full dealing with their own bastard sons (demi-Gods/Gods etc) who are prophesized to kill them.
Hey! Greek is also lots of incest too!Depending on the kind of God/Gods we are speaking about. If like the greek ones, get ready for a ton of smut and bestiality.
If egypt then it is incest. And so on.
That's only using monotheistic religious definitionsThe fundamental problem with writing a GOD is that a GOD by definition is Omnipotent, all knowing, all powerful. PERFECT.
HENCE, if you are to write a GOD, then it must be a flawed one, or a nerfed one. And you would have to establish in your world what limits a god has. For example, in one of my works I made it clear that the Gods were Powerful. but not powerful enough to create a universe. And that's no worse than a god who gets jealous of a mortal sleeping with another mortal he likes (that is beyond petty for an all powerful being. That's just a petty tyrant.
Start off as a mortal and he doesn't know he's a god. For some reason he had to go deep under cover. Then he remembers and gets back on the job for book 2.So umm I've been thinking about writing a novel with a god as a protagonist and I really need some tips or idea on what the gods do because just managing worlds, balance and order seems boring
Most gods in fiction aren't omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. Fictional gods tend to be close to Greek gods or Shinto gods or Roman gods or whatever.The fundamental problem with writing a GOD is that a GOD by definition is Omnipotent, all knowing, all powerful. PERFECT.

Watching their prophecies get misinterpreted, seeing their chosen ones getting killed, corrupted or never noticing they're chosen ones, talking smack about other gods, doing whatever they're the god of and of course dealing with Karens in the afterlife.So umm I've been thinking about writing a novel with a god as a protagonist and I really need some tips or idea on what the gods do because just managing worlds, balance and order seems boring
