Um soooo my main character is super wrapped up in themself right now and I want to create a cohesive team.
I have the stage set for a bunch of characters right now (female missionary raised by a gang, greedy merchant, stupid My Father will Hear of This pretty boy noble, circus troupe mystic) and would really like to introduce them, get into backstories more , etc.
My current plot lines kind of follow “arcs.” The one we are in right now is main character + female mercenary. (Fighting ring is currently exploring MC’s internal demons and instability, will lead into female mercenary’s background)
Is it bad writing to have the side characters connect to the MC one by one through such arcs? Will it be too obvious what I’m doing, too monotonous?
Also, tips on how to have MC naturally make friends when they’re naturally an obsessed, insecure, edgelord type? Like, severe character flaws here.
* Before commenting on number of characters, I am aware I introduced them all a bit fast, but I’m new and learning. Writing a novel is hard, who knew Lol
