You may call me Rize (龍化 利世).

Greetings.

I’m a… human. Probably.

I notice what others miss—pauses, fake smiles, delayed glances. Call me a nerd if you want; I don’t really care. I prefer observing over participating.

Why? I don’t like people.

Well… not exactly.

I just avoid them, don’t like being seen.

Though solitude can get unbearable sometimes.

I crave something lighthearted.
Like cherry blossoms—
petals drifting in spring.

I’ve read stories more than I’ve lived, so I thought—why not write my own?

I like folktales, novels, poems… anything that lets me narrate a story instead of just exist.

Sometimes it makes me feel like an NPC.

Even in my own life.

Nice to meet you, I guess.

    Hmmm...

    To be fair, from reading this chapter, I could already tell you already have quite a strong basis when it comes to "Don't Show, Not Tell" principles. However, sensory details aren't the only way to show it and that not everything needs to be told per se.

    You may consider this principle using a cinematic point of view, like the one in movie. In here, it's called zoom-in and zoom-out principles: When you explained things using sensory details, that'd be zoom-in because it relies on showing the audience about each gesture, cue, and behavior. However, that's not the only zoom-in method you could do. You might also focus on the face and see, for example, the MC's (not to say it has to be them but this is to make the example easier to digest) reaction to a said scene as some kind of an emotional trigger, or else you might also intuitively infer some kind of symbolism during the zoom-in method by making this MC reminding himself about his goal, resolution, and perhaps, a strength to resolve. And these are quite crucial for writing.

    However, you may also use zoom-out too. Think about when the shot is getting too distant yet it captures the bigger picture of this scene, and think about any narration or monologue could be said or any reaction could be done while the MC was screaming in pain or something like that, this would give you a much bigger advantage to tell the audience what's going without them getting bored.

    So yes, it highly depends on the context: By showing, you show people what your characters are doing, thinking, speaking, if not feeling at that very moment while by telling, you tell them what they have been facing by far and it works as a way to gain this bigger picture kind of narration instead of showing every single thing.

    It's almost similar to when you tell a random story to your friends or on internet. Basically, you don't have to show everything, but it doesn't mean you need to always tell them too: Showing everything makes things become way too transparent/translucent, while telling everything makes those become too visible/opaque. And yes, writing a web novel and a movie script actually are quite similar. So yeah, sorry for talking too much and I hope it helps. That's all.
