A writer should limit the mob character's influence on the main plot. They can be used for minor interactions or to add a bit of flavor to the background, but not be the driving force behind major plot developments. For example, they can just be part of the scenery in a marketplace scene rather than suddenly having a secret that changes everything.
The writer can focus on the main characters' development and use mob characters sparingly. When introducing a mob character, make sure their actions and characteristics are in line with their role as a background or minor element. For instance, if it's a school - based light novel, a mob student can just be shown cheering in the background during a sports event, rather than suddenly becoming a key player in a mystery that has nothing to do with their initial role.
It could mean that something is excessive or over the top for a character who is a minor or 'mob' character in a light novel. For example, if a mob character suddenly has a very complex backstory or a super powerful ability that seems out of place compared to their role in the story, it might be 'too much for a mob character'.
You can avoid too much exposition by starting in the middle of the action and filling in the necessary background gradually. And make sure your descriptions and explanations enhance the story rather than slow it down.
Well, you can focus more on descriptions and actions to balance it out. Don't let the characters do all the talking.
It really varies. Some light novel writers make a decent income, while others struggle to make ends meet.
One way is to limit the level of detail in the abuse scenes. Don't describe every single gory or cruel aspect. Instead, focus on the after - effects on Loki. Another way is to introduce some light - hearted moments. Maybe Loki has a pet or a small hobby that gives him some joy even in the midst of the abuse. Also, you can have other characters show kindness towards him at crucial moments, which can offset the darkness.
One way is to think about the story from multiple characters' viewpoints. This helps reduce reliance on 'I'. Another tip is to use descriptive language for the environment and other elements to avoid constantly centering on yourself.
Be critical. When reading fiction, analyze the content. Don't just blindly accept everything. Think about how the fictional elements compare to real - life situations. This will prevent you from being overly influenced by unrealistic scenarios in the fiction.
One way is to find other genres to replace it. For instance, start reading more mystery or adventure novels.
One way is to set clear boundaries for the story from the start. If it's a thriller about a political conspiracy, then everything should revolve around that. The author can also be more conscious of their target audience. If they want to reach a wider audience including young adults and those who dislike sexual content, they need to be more selective about what they include. Additionally, they can get feedback from beta readers or editors who can point out if the sexual content is overdone and suggest ways to cut it down or replace it with more relevant thriller - related content.
It really depends on the genre and the overall tone of the novel. In an action-packed adventure, more fighting might be expected and tolerated. But in a character-driven drama, too much fighting could overshadow the character development and story arcs.
