Okay, so opinions on how the most powerful character in a book is always the one most in danger or critically wounded? Like I know plot armour, but this is plot armour reversed using magical author powers. I know that there isn’t really a way to get proper angst if the character is strong, but why make a character so strong and hypothetically untouchable and then go against everything you just said in your writing? For example: character has the most amazing abilities and the most anyone has seen, and yet said person has been kidnapped repeatedly, is constantly in the hospital, and generally weak and babied in a way. Another thing that bugs me is when an author sets up a character to be one way, but then in the actual story the character feels forced and is doing things that they would never have done without the author making them. It just interrupts the story so much and the characters don’t feel natural, you lose the immersion you get from a story, you lose the escape from the real world. Anyways, rant over, how’s everyone doing? Hopefully better then me! Also we don’t need to talk about the time, sleep is nonexistent for me at this point. P.S. Here’s a random phrase I came up with to represent one of my art pieces: “To hide the forgotten means one must know how it feels to be known.” Thoughts? I have a specific meaning behind it but I want to hear others’ opinions.

@KeefeFan333 YESS. I feel like yeah, good angst is always something that does happen a lot, and I'm not complaining, but it should feed into the characters weaknesses. Have the character set up from the beginning to be bad at something or have something going on and then have them grow FROM that into something else!! OOOH I LIKE THE PHRASE. Words aren't really wording right now so i can't give full opinion, but I can say that it makes me feel things lol.
