I read the first chapter, it's really good, the writing is good, but isn't the character too childish? With its history as the main character of the world? keep going it's very good (sorry for my English i’m a french author)

People dropping stories is completely normal, but if you see it that fast it's probably due to grammar/readability more than anything else from my experience. Your first two chapters have weird spacing, almost like it's structured as a poem (looks fine on mobile, but on PC its a bit jarring). This is fixed on chapter 3, so I'd advise sorting out your first 2 chaps.

First impressions matter a lot.

Paragraph spacing is an issue.

Sentence spacing is wacked, why you put spacing in places and cause the entire text to look messy. Like someone took a hammer and smashed the paragraph. Realign them.

Also, you have the habit, like many including me, to run on. One or two comma is fine, I was having even more headache at the run on.

Also, what is "yah"? I know this is sound effect, but is it necessary? Maybe, but it does take me out with the spelling.

Why?

Try go read other works, not just in SH, but also Wattpad or Royalroad. Read the top sellers, see that they have a flow.

Tidbit, try read out what you write.

I am seeing a different version in Royalroad? More smooth. But why you capitalize your words randomly?
