Screen Time: Just Silas or more about the support characters

I voted to leave them as they are, but I made that choice as a fresh patreon sub after just finishing book 6 earlier this afternoon and in a book format I enjoy those because it's quickly back to the main PoV. Having said that, as I've come to learn about myself, I don't enjoy them as much in the serialized chapter release format because I'm always jonesing for more of the primary character.

I like that you have them in as interludes. When I do relistens or rereads I’ll skip them if I want. But they do add a lot of color to the story. This series is becoming one of my favorite. Most other litRPgs i read always skip over this period of adjustment to the system but you are spending time here. That alone will put you in the top. Closest I have seen is DotF and is one of the reason that it was top for me

Won't lie, I'm skipping the whole mexico situation. Its way to long winded for me. The shorter sidestories I do read.

More nico & co

More Cece and asta also Samvek. But I think the balance is good.

Story is mostly about silas so should focus on him, but side plots like singapore and mexico shouldnt have so many chapters between them. IMO there were too many long breaks between the chapters about jiang in Singapore and china, and kind of same with cece in mexico. Makes it feel like they're frozen for 20 chapters while silas does stuff, then move around for 5 minutes and are frozen again. Maybe for those plot lines there could be cece or jiang focused chapters just to tell what happened, so we dont have to wait for next interlude or something?

I’d like to see more supporting characters viewpoints and how they develop the story along with Silas

I voted more side characters, but I want to preface that with more entanglement with the main story too.. Some of these interludes I feel are just glimpses into something else that almost seem irrelevant at times.. I'd much rather it all tied into the main story, hell you could even have side character pov interludes where the main character or other important side characters are shown I'd personally also appreciate mini arcs, like 2-4 chapters about what the safezone community is doing, how are they progressing? are they leveling? are their crafters leveling? Do they even have crafters? Are their fighters leveling? how? and so on.. Don't get me wrong tho, I'd also like just following Silas, but if you want to and are including side characters, I'd much rather they become a part of the story.. Rather than just oneshots in the middle of a story we're already engaged in.

It be great to hear more about the side characters though it feels like that would require going beyond 150k words

I’d definitely like to see more of the Earth team, especially between Silas and his sister.

I would like to see more thoughts from samvek. I also would like to see more happen with i think its selena the turga family girl. Obviously she was just introduced so probably will have to wait there. Im still looking forward to ceces journey in mexico, and i personally would like to see jiang get more time fighting with Silas. The 5th forerunner dont even remember her name feels very insignificant. She could die in the next chapter and i wouldn't care. Asta i feel could use a little more unless you have sonething planned for her.

I'd like to know more about Samvek and his past, more on his pov. And I agree with others here. Some more development with the other forerunners.

I like it as it is. For me MC focus ist more much more interessting. Mostly because it also means storie progression. But a little more Samvek would be nice.

i would prefer more silas and forerunner focused for series. then having a separate book that goes into the side characters and what they are doing.

I would like to see them more fleshed out. At this point, they feel replaceable and that could be improved. Cece and Asta definitely, and maybe a few others, could give a new perspective on events. Hell, some chapters from the perspective of observers/ bystanders/ henchpeople to major plot events would be awesome.

It feels to me like Silas is too far ahead of the other forerunners. If you put them together more often, does Silas hold back so they can feel useful? If Silas holds back, does he miss opportunity to get stronger? Silas obviously can't do everything himself so supporting characters are required but probably not a big focus? Also I thought this new Primordial power you've introduced foreshadowed how Silas should operate, no? He is a Trailblazer. That sounds like a lonely road.

A prequel focused on Silas’s uncle would be interesting.

I think a little more screen time for Urg and Jiang would be great!!

If anything what I would like to see is side books for the supporting cast. Mainly the other forerunners. Like one book focused on Jiang and Asta, and the next on Cece and Ada.

I feel like Silas is just too interesting compared to the others. The only way for them to catch up would be if Silas focuses more on crafting. I think new characters can easily take their place and we wouldn’t miss them too much. Specially the ones from new families which I found quite interested

I would like to see a bit from Silas' Mom and some more of Clan Rayden.

Personally, I like to see side characters perspective on events, but don't particularly care for their mini stories outside of that.
