Since I don't know the specific 'a god's ascension novel', it's hard to say. But likely there would be the god who is ascending as a main character. There might also be other gods, goddesses, or powerful beings who are either helping or hindering the ascension process.
In a 'a god's ascension novel', the main character is surely the god on the ascension journey. However, there could be other important characters too. There may be a mentor - like figure, perhaps an older and wiser god who imparts knowledge or advice to the ascending god. There could also be antagonists, such as rival gods who don't want this particular god to ascend because it might disrupt the balance of power in the divine realm. Additionally, there might be mortal characters who play a role, either by being the god's followers or by having some sort of special connection to the god's ascension, like they hold a key to a mystery that the god needs to solve on their path to ascension.
