Frankly, I think that if they Nephilims were as that amenable and blockheaded, it would have been hard for them to the creation of the such a meticulous structure like the Ark.

The author just tried to fill gaps to make the Bible make more sense. I really hope we can find the original scriptures as it was written by the servants of God.

If I'm judging based off the bible I would say it's really impossible for one man to build the ark all by himself nevertheless the author made the story sound so realistic so I'm quite conflicted

I have not seen this in my Bible and I think it is just the author perspective and does not take its root from the Bible.

I have not seen this in the Bible and I have never been told such story. This is the first time I am coming across this and I do not agree with it.

So, what do you think about Nephilim in this book? Did Nephilim actually do that in the Bible, or is this just the author's opinion?
Genesis 6 doesn't say. However, the Nephelim in Number 13:33, and giants elsewhere in the land, were enemies of Noah and Gods people. For example, Goliath, was a giant. Giants in the old testament, for which there are many if you read the old testament closely, were consistently depicted as enemies. In which case, it is unlikely that the Nephelim would have helped Noah. That said, the book of Genesis really doesn't give clarity on these topics and so it is debated what the original authors of ancient Isreal might have thought about such topics.
I am an avid reader. I typically read 1-2 books per week. I enjoy a wide array of genres including Sci Fi, Action/Thriller, and Historical Fiction.

As a geologist and christian, I also particularly enjoy books on science and faith.
