Hello! I'm considering starting the next book from the perspective of a character that isn't Lilith or any of her party members. Would you be against something like this? Doing this would put some plot points on hold for a while but the events would later tie back into what Lilith and her group is doing later.

In the poll I say 'a significant number' of chapters, that's because I'm not sure how long it would be if I decided to write the thing I'm thinking about. It could end up being around 10+ chapters or more and I'm not sure if that would put too many people off. I've been thinking about this idea for a while as a potential side story but if I did it that way then it may be a long time before I go back to the idea, if ever.

This poll will be open to non-paid patrons and I'll be posting it in the discord for feedback as well. I would really appreciate the feedback!

It’s pretty tough to say, because I don’t know what you have in mind for this side arc, so I’ll just put down a vote for a few chapters. But if the new perspective ends up doing well, and you have more material to feed it, and you feel like the audience is pretty happy with it, then yeah for sure go for it! I’d just suggest that maybe you plan out the idea a little so that you can be reasonably sure that it won’t end up accidentally taking 𝑎𝑤𝑎𝑦 from the main story, as opposed to adding to it. But I’m not a writer (even if I do have some ideas rattling around in my noggin), so don’t take my word as the gospel or something like that lol

I would prefer Liliths perspective but you are the wordsmith and above all I would prefer to read the story YOU wish to write
