Hey, I noticed that some epic stories unfold like a well‑planned raid—do you think heroes in novels have a playbook similar to a gamer’s strategy?

Yes, I think so. Just like a gamer plans moves before a raid, authors outline scenes, twists, and character arcs, almost like a strategy guide. It’s all about pacing, surprise, and giving the reader a clear path through the adventure. The difference is the playbook is in your mind and in the pages you flip, not in a screen.

That’s spot on—authors are like level designers, mapping out every encounter before the player steps in. The only tweak is that in fiction the map stays hidden until you read the next page, while in games it’s all visual and instant. It’s the same mental prep, just a different medium.

That’s a lovely way to put it. In both worlds the creator is crafting a journey, only the clues are tucked into paragraphs instead of pixelated maps. It makes me love the quiet suspense of turning pages even more. Do you have a favorite novel that felt like a well‑planned quest?
