: Re: Is it too late to change a character in the story? I have this chimera-type character whose name is Ryu, but at this point I think it best to change his name. But I've already grown used

I believe that this is no problem.

If you don't like his current name, then would it not surely be easier to switch to a better one and start using it?

I think that if 'Ryu' holds special symbolism within the book, perhaps you should keep it, however if there is a definitely better different option available, go ahead and switch!

For me myself, I actually have had a situation in my own writing where in book 3 out of 3 I decided to change the name of one of the most instrumental characters in the trilogy. The name she holds now has much more meaning for her and is a far better pick. It was a good decision to have made.

Ultimately, it's up to you.
