Since it's not written in the Bible that the Nephilim helped Noah, I don't think it's right to believe that

The book is fictional and it seems to me just the opinion of the author.

It's just the author's opinion, because I don't think the author specifically stated that the book was inspired by the Holy spirit, so nobody knows

The bible only recorded Noah building the ark by following God's instructions. There was no mention of him getting help from any Nephilim
However, let's not forget that the ark was a huge boat not only one man can build. Noah was in charge of building just like the modern day architect. Even though there might definitely be others who worked with him to build the ark, biblical accounts mentioned his name alone because he was the head architect. Everyone is entitled to their opinions though. The author only aired his views

That's just the author's opinion. And I wonder why he thought to include that. It's such a wild theory with no basis. The Nephilim were violent creatures who only sought out to destroy and cause chaos, how would they have helped Noah, a man of God to bulld an ark which they themselves wouldn't be on.
I'm here for a good time, not a long time. Yolo!

After reading this novel I brushed up on the first few chapters of Genesis just to slightly fact check if what the author said was in any way true according to the Bible. And below is what I gathered:

Well, according to the author, Nephilim helped build the ark and were even cited during the flood as wailing to be let in but could not because God sealed the ark. In the Bible Nephilim are mentioned, but very briefly, in regards to them living amongst man and had procreated with them. I believe it is in the fourth verse of chapter 6 of Genesis. After that, no where before, during, or after the flood are Nephilim mentioned.

So because it is not stated so in the Bible I believe that the role Nephilim played in Genesis was the author's opinion.

I've also heard about these Nephilims with different stories surrounding their existence and even saw a representation in a movie. However, the fact remains that the Bible did not mention anything about Nephilim.

I’m not really sure. It wasn’t stated in the Bible.

I strongly disagree with the author's opinion. According to the Bible, the Nephilim were the main reason why the flood was brought about in the first place, so, no, I don't think they were in any way interested in building the ark.
The gift turned out to be a curse. They killed him with kindness.

I find this part wrong I think the author tried to fill in some gaps maybe to make the book interesting. If you read the Bible I think you will understand what I'm saying.

Who could have known? But I don't think so because I they did, it should have be mentioned in the bible.

To the best of my knowledge, there was no mention of that in the Bible, I just think that that is the author's inclusion.

Well, I am coming across this name for the first time with regards to the ark. I have to go through my Bible before I can answer.

It's not a bad thing if the nephilim actually helped Noah, but I don't like the way they were potrayed.
