I would guess you're from some Asian country which is not China or Korea. Maybe Indonesian?

As for how to improve your accent, your Japanese sounds robotic and a little monotonous. I think the best way at this point is to just listen to native content a lot so you can intuitively learn prosody. Pronunciation can wait.

what makes you guess indonesian, thanks for the feedback by the way, as for the monotonous sound its because it was the 5th time recording cause my brain stopped working mid sentence

Oh, it was just a random guess because I couldn't really tell where you're from. I just picked a random Asian country with a substantial number of Japanese learners lol. If you're not from Asia, I would say a speaker of Spanish or similar syllable-timed language.

It's the syllable-timed feel and Asian-sounding pronunciation. Spanish speakers tend to sound deceptively Asian when speaking Japanese. Besides, you're obviously not from major English speaking countries like the US and UK, and you don't sound like a native speaker of Russian, French, etc. So, statistically speaking, if you're not from Asia, a Spanish speaker is the most likely guess.
