A Novelist’s Guide to Side Character Survival

Omg Omg Omg I suddenly feel that the novel summary is so accurate. Grandpa Zu I love u so much ... more>> Spoiler in the 1st arc the MC is in setting of edgerunner and he is a minor villain as the lapdog of the main villain. MC add so much background setting that I wept for him. MC changed the character setting to child from the slum following the villain Spoiler with an arrogant look the villain stomp on the 12yrold MC but the MC hand him money, this amuse the villain and he pick up MC with he promise that "I'll always give you the best things" [collapse] The first arc is my fave with the MC playing as an emotionally stunned lapdog to the main villain with the irony that he as a pure human in the edge runner universe is a killing machine that makes ppl tremble in fear. Set up high in the sky like god of slaughter and inhuman but kept on a leash by an abusive owner. But he slowly became more humane as he take cares of others and losing part of himself and becoming cyborg. He lived life as a machine and died as a human 2nd arc not so much love as the 1st arc but still kinda sweet as 4 kids with disabilities grew up into adults with own scars, slowly open up warning as there is su*cide and mental breakdown in this arc (eg husband and wife as director and actress film a movie bout how female octopus who normally cannibalised each other will in turn starve themselves to feed their newborns. The wife who just gave birth to a daughter was pressured into completing this movie to perfection and had a mental break. This lead to a cycle of ab*se as the daugther start to develop self hate. This situation was slightly aliviated when wife got 2nd kid a son but she died in childbirth. The father love life became messy The son grew up with the sister acting crazy in front of his dad as she resent him for forcing her mother in the film. The sister never hated the brother and try to take care of him but she's manic and suicidal (drowning and pills) and the brother also understand her plight. He also has some undiagnosed issues like self blame. Happy ending as they establish good support system and friendship with the MC. [collapse] <<less
