Five Things

Five Things #AnimeTaughtMe About Writing: OP or n-o-p-e?
1. What is OP?
2. OP with restraint vs OP-magedon
3. OP creates too great an imbalance in the power dynamic of the protagonist and antagonist. Both sides need strength but also weaknesses.
4. Pop-up OP is unbelievable. It takes the reader out of the world unless there is a believable explanation within the world structure.
5. Eventually things must balance out through consequences. Power has a cost.
What is your favorite OP side? Do you prefer the heroes or the villains to be the OP ones or are OP characters just an n-o-p-e for you? Leave your comments below.
