Do Jews view Tanakh as 100% historic or semi-fictional stories to teach lessons?

Hi! Context, I’m a Christian and have been studying the Old Testament lately. It’s so interesting and engaging. I love learning about Jewish culture / context, and meaning behind Hebrew words, it’s just so fascinating. I was wondering, do Jewish people view the Old Testament/Tanakh as 100% accurate, or like oral story telling to make sense of the world? Specifically things like 7 day creation, Job, Jonah and the Whale, crazy long life spans, talking donkey, Nile to blood, Elijah and chariot of fire, etc. Thank you in advance! Appreciate any insight.
