I am a non-muslim who likes to worldbuild fantasy worlds/stories, would Muslims be fine with these religious elements I have added in it?

As-salamu alaykum, I am a Christian guy who loves worldbuilding fantasy and I have some questions about the depiction of God/Allah in Fiction for Muslims, so I know that polytheism is shirk and portraying equals of God/Allah and worshipping them is very bad, but what I want to ask is how permissible is it to read fiction that contains only one real God (inspired by Abrahamic God), a god that has no equals in power and knowledge, and has no depiction within the story, so no statues, and no descriptions, but his power is present in subtle ways, and the majority of the people of this fantasy world only worship him, and he guides prophets and showed divine revelation through holy scripture in this fantasy world (has some similarities to Bible and Quran's, is focused on values of Justice, Family, Devotion), I also have a plan to have angels (but with a different name and only limited depictions) and plan to add demons, who are purely evil and corrupt beings who refused to submit to the one true God, and sometimes they pose themselves as polytheist gods to the people of this fantasy world to gain power, but those spirits are not omnipotent, and they can be beaten by powerful mortals. Those demons are the main villains. Overall, my story is one where a monotheistic religion is portrayed as an overall good force.

Would all of what I said be fine to read for Muslims? If there are any things you'd prefer to change, feel free to tell me guys.

I am asking all of this because if I were to ever publish a book/novel about it, I'd want some Muslim friends to read it without any issues.
