So, just curious, if an author introduces a few small pieces of a mystery before informing you that there was a mystery, would you consider that bad writing? All of my favorite stories do that, though those are Traditional novels, not web novels, like on here. I've noticed a distinct lack of that style of writing amongst webnovels, though it's not completely absent.
Had a reader complain about a supposedly strong character getting killed by trash mobs (goblins). which I get. that would feel like robbery. but thus far i've dropped a handful of hints towards a larger issue that hasn't yet been addressed, primarily because the characters themselves don't know about it. and being that the characters would have no way to discuss or think about it, why would the narrator bring it up? it's not relevant to what's happening RIGHT NOW, "on screen", so to speak.
edit: Mostly asking if I did something wrong here. It doesn't really feel like I did, but the consensus seems to be that I did.
