I have never actually read the book that im looking for but rather saw it on few months ago on GR and forgot to save it apparently. Aside from whats in the topic the only other info I remember is that its pretty fantastical with incredibly advanced alien races, some even considered to be more like gods, if i remember correctly. Possibly also something about beings that can create entire universes? Not sure but that sounds familiar... Oh and also I remember people saying that it reads more like a text book and has no real characters aside from the main one. I hope this description is good enough because I really want to read this book and cant for the life of me find it again. Thanks in advance guys!

It's STAR MAKER, a novel by Olaf Stapledon.

I moved your request to the Unsolved folder because you're looking for a specific book.

Star Maker by Olaf Stapledon for Lee's suggestion.
