So, in my most recent chapter, Silnarion (MC) basically explains what the world’s issue is.
They are aware of these issues for Reasons Unexplained, but I’m worried that I will lose readers’ interest having my MC actually pretty much know what’s going on from the get go.
I’m actually struggling a little in general, because I don’t want the struggle to seem super simple, but at it’s core it’s this:
People need to die.
My MC is meant to be a good but also morally grey, sanity gone from the start type. Basically raised by a Deity in a world where what we would consider Cults have a lot of power, so they are really out of touch in significantly important ways but really knowledgeable in others, because, duh, the Deity is going to know what’s going on.
Is it a problem if Silnarion explains a bit of the core issue? I basically established my MC’s plan for the future in the last chapter, but I’m hoping the journey will be worth it for readers.
anyway, advice? Reassurance? Commiseration? Tips for a re-write?
