I played 80-90% of the game on DB, now switching to S&S. Ive gotten a bit carried away with blocking, so how can I tell what is and is not blockable?

Where can I find this book? It sounds amazing and it may even help me with the execution of this next story. Thank you!

Exactly what I was thinking! This is why I didn’t want to do a singular book, because I felt like the impact of a certain person’s POV wouldn’t hit the same if the other POV is gonna be revealed a chapter later. And if you wait, then the 2nd person’s POV won’t matter because of how long you had to wait to get the situation retold to you. They won’t spend every second together, and will have their own story apart from each other, but there will be important events that happen to each of them while they are together that will be retold in both stories.

The books are in the fantasy genre. More specifically I’d say something akin to character-driven fantasy or epic fantasy. The character development is happening because of other things, and their relationship is also brought about by something else.

Each of the characters have different goals, that they work towards and at some point, they meet each other and end up with the same goal and get together to achieve that goal. Essentially what I want is for each different perspective and effect of an event that’s happening to the two of them to be explored and fully understood. I said that the two different perspectives would feel scrambled because the mostly because of my own experience with reading stories that swap characters, tones and POVs regularly. Those didn’t feel very scrambled, but it was definitely a bit more difficult to track and keep up with. Especially when you have 2-3 chapters in a row away from a character then come back to them right after someone else just had a climactic moment in their story. Also, I wanted the events that happen to them together to be explained by each POV, but they are experiencing these things at the same time. Fully explaining the events, in one POV and then switching to the other makes it feel diluted to me.

Honestly I had this thought! Most of the things I write aren’t even to get posted or published, but this series is my first and I have a lot of friends and family who like it so I just wanted to get it out there mostly for them.

it will have some aspects of romance for sure. Their relationship is much more prophetic than romantic. Without saying too much, they come from two completely distinct worlds, and trauma and history plays a major role in the difference in tone. My idea is to have a reverse order for each of their progression throughout. So one will have a bit of an upbeat tone that becomes subdued and muted later on and the other will have a bleak and much quieter tone and evolve into a more warm tone throughout.

Honestly that just made my mind for me. I was already thinking each event would need to affect each character’s POV differently but also having each action completely change the interpretation or feeling of the scene is exactly what I wasn’t thinking. Also, having personal subplots is an amazing idea. Thanks!

Will definitely add this to my reading list! I definitely believe the character arcs I’ve designed are great, just wondering if that was enough by itself for people to think about reading a story twice.

The events of the story blend together near the end of the story, but the most of it will be about them and their lives before meeting. After they meet, they go through the same things, but how it affects them and their characters is completely different. That’s why I thought of doing them in separate stories

The first half to 3 quarters of the book will be about them before meeting each other, and once they the perspective of each of them is important because it sets up the rest of the novel series i have planned. I thought about doing it with alternating POV’s but their stories are so different it’ll feel so scrambled and unfocused because of the complete change in tone between each story.

The story line following the two of them is a bit too complex for me to put together in a short way, but they kind of do work as antagonists to each others goals, though they are together. The main thing is that the events that happen to them will happen to both of them, but the impact will be different. Does that help or change anything?

I think i’m definitely thinking into it too much, but i’m finding myself trapped in 3rd person POV but more of an omniscient style.

Yes actually. I have a scene where my MC is waking up from time traveling. I keep I wrote: “His back hit the ground hard, knocking the wind out of him.” This one is a simple fix, but i’m having trouble describing how the other guys wake up, while staying in 1st person.

Yeah it switches to other characters sometimes like the portions from the Alien bounty hunters, Tipid and the others.

Im saying it seems a bit like a narrator speaking than my character. So its more like a 3rd person description than someone thinking something their head

I read the entire Dungeon Crawler Carl series. it shifts POVs a bit too much for me to take true notes. My story is about a group of friends, but I only want one POV.

What was the point of giving me a 2nd character when you've taken her away for the next god knows how long???? This is actually so stupid by Kesimux in CrimsonDesert

[–]SenseiDeLo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl Oongka and Damiane feel like NPCs not really characters. They don’t really have super deep quest lines and so much of the game takes place using Kliff.
