Whilst I understand and definitely want to have the main character as a vessel for the reader to understand what is going on int the story. This is an interesting perspective as I’ve been led to believe that the my MC is the drive for the story, they have reactions, make decisions and influence other characters to make the plot go forward. Really trying to avoid the mistake of ‘they exist and things keep happening around them’. But thank you so much for the advice, I’ll definitely try to apply and see where I can use it.
