So I have multiple stories running in the same universe, and I want a Arc that includes all the main people from each of the stories my worry is that this will become to confusing and may overload the reader.
This is a rough idea of how many characters I’ll have from each story
Story 1- 4 Main Characters, 3 Semi-main Characters & 2 Plot Characters
Story 2- 2 Main Characters, 2 Semi-main Characters & 3 Plot Characters
Story 3- 3 Main Characters, 2 Semi-Main Characters
Story 4- 2 Main Characters, 1 Semi-Main Characters
That means I’ll have: 11 Main Characters 8 Semi-Main Characters 5 Plot Characters Which means I’ll have a total of 24 characters that the reader would have to remember
