When he read online novels, he always talked about cheating. What exactly did the cheating in online novels mean?
The pitfalls in web novels usually referred to plot holes or plot flaws that the author failed to fill in time during the creation process. These flaws may cause the reader to feel confused, uneasy, or disappointed during the reading process, and may also affect the cohesiveness and rationality of the entire story. Some common web novel scams included: 1. Character design flaws: For example, the protagonist does not have a specific personality, background, or ability, or the villain is too strong or unreasonable. 2. Plot loopholes: For example, the causality is incoherent, the logic is contradictory, or there are contradictions. 3. The setting is not in conflict. For example, the protagonist lacks goals or motivation, or the structure of the whole world is not rigorous enough. 4. Unreasonable plot development: For example, the protagonist is too smooth or the villain suddenly becomes reasonable. In order to fill in these holes, the author would usually explain or solve these problems in the subsequent plot. At the same time, they might also divert the reader's attention through other plots or characters to achieve the purpose of covering up the hole. But even if these problems are solved, readers may still feel confused or disappointed because they may not fully understand the author's intentions or the logic of the entire story.
