I think it is important to note the writer meant the book to be fictional although largely drawn from the Bible.
So yes, let it not confuse readers, the Bible is complete

The author gives additional descriptions, which are not found in the original Bible, to the story from creating Adam and Eve, up to the worldwide flood. Most of who has studied the Bible must have had his/her own thoughts regarding these lacking parts. Does this mean that the Bible is incomplete? On the other hand, is it righteous to add after-notes to a religious book like the Bible?
Like you said, everybody has their own interpretation to fill in the blanks left by the bible just like the author did, and I truly don't think there's anything wrong with that just as long as you stay true to the message of the Bible. I don't think of the Bible as incomplete. I think that the Bible focused more on the spiritual aspects and message it was trying to convey.

I've heard stories of missing parts in the Bible, and when I asked some of my Christian friends some said it went missing and some said it was removed. So I think the Bible is incomplete but that doesn't change the fact that it is a Holy book

The Bible is perfect as it is. Nothing needs to be taken away nor anything added to it. In this story, the author just displays the level of creativity. It shouldn't be taken seriously. This book can be for light reading.

I wouldn't deny that after reading this book, I began to feel the same way too. The way the author added details to the already existing facts in the Bible can make one to tow this line of thinking. The Bible, however is complete as God has a reason for leaving it that way.

The Bible is a collection of records from the past. Records may not cover everything and so there's yet a lot one can discover using those records as a guide. I believe there's more that is yet to be discovered. I think it's okay if they are verified and meet a certain standard of authenticity. There is no religious law I know of that forbids it though, using one's imagination to better understand the Bible and stories of the past.

I think the Bible is a mysterious book. Some mysteries have been omitted for the good of mankind. So the Bible is complete based on it's purpose to mankind.

I don't think the two are connected at all. If the Bible had included every detail about every story beyond what is absolutely critical, then we'd never be able to finish reading it. Since the Bible was put together by councils who chose what would be canon, we know that some of what was originally written was left out. Nevertheless, 2 Timothy 3:16 says that "All scripture is given by inspiration of God," so I tend to believe that what is in the Bible now is complete due to divine inspiration.
Exactly!

The Bible is perfectly complete. The author to me wrote based on his imaginations even though I think the he over-exaggerated it.

I believe the Bible may be incomplete. There is a lot that may have happened especially at the beginning that we do not know.

The Bible is complete but complex. I don't think the author added story outside the Bible he only out of imagination tried to break down the complex stories.

I feel like the Bible is a compact story of what happened during those times but I do not think there is any relevant information that was left out, just minute details.

I wouldn't really say the Bible is incomplete, but there are some places that doesn't give a detailed account of what happened, and at times we begin to wonder what could have transpired there. The author filled those gaps with his thoughts and view of what could have happened during those intervals in the Bible.
