When readers start discussing characters and theories during a delayed update, that's a victory for the writer. It means people are invested.
I love reading the comments too. People come from different backgrounds, and some perspectives are genuinely brilliant.
But there's a fine line between keeping readers engaged and making them emotionally invest in something you're planning to completely reverse.
Readers don't mind being wrong; they mind feeling like their investment was pointless.
A good twist makes readers say, "I should've seen that coming."
A bad twist makes them ask, "Why did I even bother?"
So why give them that chance HEYGIWRITER
