I dabbled  with 4D and 5D creatures in my main series but in the rewrite, planning to leave it out. Waaay too hard to explain when a character unties a perfect knot by an easy tug

Despite that, Seabrass thought things in the Holy Land were too predictable. He suggested I kill a few of the guards, but I couldn't do that since that would make Connor a murderer since he controls the events in the HL.

You could have a "third party" working against both Connor and Campagna. This would be a team of specialists from some religion interested in thwarting the bargain/wager and is willing to use violence to prevent both Christ's return and AC's ascension. They would need to hate Christianity so basically want the good guys and the bad guys to fail.

I would suggest just plough through to the end of book 3 to lay out all the complexities in between. Or... canonize book 1 so that book 3 is forced to live in the established rules.

I noticed the snap transformation in Captain America. Don't recall if it's the recent or the one from the 80's.

Don't stack a rom-com and a historical mystery. The algorithm will tank you hard.

What will happen is the rom-com readers will go in your mystery and click out without buying, and Amazon will punish both books. You only need around 21 out-clicks to trigger punishment.

Hmm well, one expects a Christ-like figure to have figured out the head of his foe or a foe's 2iC and be able to diffuse any situation. We're given the impression he could have easily dodged the cross by giving Pilate straight answers.

That said, it's your story, so sell the violence if you can

Argh. "Thank you, captain" or "Thank you, Captain"

I wouldn't say "Thank you, Bus Driver" but https://www.grammarly.com/blog/punctuat … ob-titles/ says this also capitals as it is replacement for a name.

Okay, shoot me now x.x

Re: the spectators winced and let out a collective, "Ooh"
I'm thinking that shouldn't be dialogue. Would make your life much easier.

Example: The crowed cried, "boo!"
Easier: The crowd booed.

Specifically, I need to know where a computer-literate user gets stuck. From there, I must decide if it's a UI issue or a needs-tutorial issue. Not much hope for a novice, for sure... but I'm not sure how many people in that strata are seeking automated backup

I've configured the site to refresh every 12 hrs, but it should give immediate feedback / results

Ahoy Dirk

Can you try making a copy of your thread on the backup site?

It's currently too many steps, but I need outside opinions before I devise my next tier of simplifications.

"Don't eat this fruit because it contains bad-ju-ju knowledge" becomes an omission if God also plans ahead of time to kick them out of the Garden of Eden for eating it.

Here, I sense God doesn't know at the time of statement that he plans to give them the boot... but for arguments sake, lets assume his omniscience has told him they will eat it. Leaving out the "...also kicked out" part may unfairly pressure them to not make a fair choice. And omission is not technically a deception.
