Is this a plot too confusing for my story?

I have to say it's pretty complicated, but it's nowhere near as complicated as some science fiction stories I've read by authors like Dan Simmons. And I've dabbled in writing myself. I came up with a story so complicated, it doesn't even take place in one universe, but two and then two pseudo-realms, across the time span of 10,000 years into the past, before an ancient atomic war, in one world filled with demons serving and fighting humans and magic and all this crap. Then there's time travel. Someone has to find another person who was reincarnated from 2000 years ago, they die, and then have to steal the time traveling device, go back in time to the time before the person who died was reincarnated, and then enter and Alternate Reality, one that was written off as fictional because History was altered, bring him to discover something his OTHER self could not, and then.... blahblahblah, it never ends until they fight the bad guy.

It's a mindf*ck. But it makes perfect sense to me.

Now, if your story makes sense to you, you simply have to write it in such a way that it makes sense to the reader. Don't rush it or squeeze it into one book if two or three would be more suitable to contain all the details of the story. No matter how complicated it is, you can always make it work if you are Patient and thorough enough in your storytelling style. You can't rush or crowd perfection. Good luck.

Though the Feudal Lords are supposed to be rulers... In the Naruto world they only pop up on certain occasions... during the exams, the selection of a Hokage, having the ninjas go on various missions and so on... Besides I don't think the Feudal Lords have the kinda power to go to war... It's the Ninjas who handle everything... And the war that happens is between Ninjas... It's not like the Ninjas will go attacking civilians... And also... until Hashirama Senju... Ninjas were devided into clans only... but Senju was the one who founded Konohagakure with Madara... and so the other countries decided to have Kages and hidden villages as well.... Every country, Country of Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Lighting have villages... Konohagakure, Kirigakure, Sunagakure, Iwagakure and Kumogakure... The villages are the main headquarters for them where most of the Ninja and the Kage resides... P.S The Naruto world is fictional which means that the rules can be bent however the author wants... So lets just enjoy the show... ne...

I don't think it's that complicated, but it depends how you write it. When I tell people the plot of my book it seems to complicated, but in my head it's pretty simple.

I do have a few notes however:

There's a reason races are called (something)born - because they are BORN as such. Which means Flynn can't BECOME Avianborn. He can be Avianborn, without knowing it, but he can't BECOME one.

Also - toys come to life?! Are you ******* kidding me?! I am sorry, but that just sounds way too stupid compared to all the other things you've said about your plot. Fix it!

It all depends on how you write it. If you have the skills and lay things out without having to spell them out, then the complexity of the plot should not be too difficult to follow for an invested reader.

My plot includes one protagonist, eight main characters, a dozen more secondary characters, and three groups of antagonists all in a novel for middle grade students. It's not confusing, because of how I wrote it, not how I tried to shove its entire contents on the Internet to ask others if it's confusing. ;)

Yes, it is. Who names a boy Flynn?

it depends

if you write it all like that, then yes

but during the story if you mention each in a simple yet productive way it would be good

You're the one who has to write it. If you find it confusing then the reader would too.

Far too complex unfortunately.

yes
