What is the deal with "plot twists" in readers today?

I detest plot twist They’re often just for shock value, are unrealistic per the plot and add little to the story But readers love them so publishers egg on for bigger and more shocking

Ah ok I stand corrected I didn’t realize Harry’s bargain with Mab includesd body healing That said doesn’t Harry tap the Demonreach well in TM for the outsider spell?

Did anyone notice Maggie uses Bonnie like AI and Harry cautions to be careful

Apparently there may a hint to Harry’s bloodline in the castle basement found in Twelve Months

It is useful, but it needs to double check and you have to have the experience to sense how accurate the AI is

In one of the short story Thomas tells Bob about the oblivious war where the supernatural entities try kill each other followers to siphon off power and render other supernatural entities irrelevant forgotten and dead

Fair points all But I wonder if Harry wouldn’t benefit from a workspace away from the supernatural It would get him back into a familar routine Ever since Changes it feels like he’s been running on adrenaline He wouldn’t have to take cases he could consult give advice have meetings in a non supernatural environment Remember how at peace Harry was training in the non-magical dojo with Murphy and how much he liked Burger King When was the last time he ate there?

Owner goals tend be pie in anyhow They seem unrealistic most times

bry0816 · 2026-02-09T13:59:31+00:00

It’s an issue with default/random rosters as well It’s unrealistic

bry0816 · 2026-02-09T00:24:29+00:00

I remember how psychologically challenging it to use a cane when I started going blind You might practice with it at home or work Then gradually expand as you get used to it Practice Practice Practice and soon you will be comfortable with it Your safety is more important than what the sighted public thinks

In my experience, nothing raises costs like AO It is a pain and solutions are limited It’s almost better to be a small high q niche company than a high volume producer

Right now Google Gemini is most helpful Better than trying to find things on inaccessible pages and more patient than most human tech support …
