Well, yeah kinda obvious.

  • Keep you characters empathic and real.
  • Don’t dive into your wildest ideas straight away. Let the reader start in a familiar place and learn the new rules gradually. The classic Hobbit leaving the Shire plotline.
  • Keep the story moving. Well, sure. It’s a story.

Pretty standard rules for stories, video games, TV shows etc.
