My book concept purposely violates most plot structures in favor of character, which I think is a good thing. Readers spend more than half the time figuring out who to even cheer for, which I think is realistic. I’ve got other tropes, like a mad scientists and some villain with a scar on their face, but those are pretty intentional. The whole well-trodden act or plot structure is purposely different.
Nice to hear your intentional thoughts regarding that and the tropes; sounds like an interesting read. I’ve written and edited 2 novels (fantasy and urban fantasy) and am looking into Nostr’r Creatr as a possible way to release them chapter by chapter. Congratulations on your word count! I’d be happy to be a beta reader later if you’d like.
Ooh, I'm gonna go checkout nostr'r creatr.
you are incredibly versatile. i admire and am (benevolently) jealous of your intellect
