The Ultimate of All Ages - Chapter 279

“That lord” bullshit.
“That realm”
“That X”.
It’s so artificial. It’s a fake way of speaking. Noone speaks like that. It’s just forced mystery. Pure bullshit.

Hiding information characters knows that we don’t. It’s bad writting. His name isn’t even a temporary pov villains knowledge ffs. It’s the main character’s knowledge.

Tribulation of myriad scammers was great because we always knew the information the mc knew. And his plot were great and hard to come up with yourself even with that information. And we knew those plot before he did it. We were there when he planned it, and we couldn’t have come up with something this good or better. We saw him investigate and figure stuff out.

Other stories wants to have “reveals” and “plot twist” but they can’t do so from going to good to great. They have to go from nonexistent to meh. So they forcefully hide information that mc knows. It’s bad writting. If not bad, it’s mediocre, overdone, and any story with fans calling it “peak” should aim to not do this.

It’s an admission of lesser skill, and giving up mentality. It’s only acceptable for newbie writers going in easy mode, trying to write a decent story.
