: Re: How should I move the story forward with the support cast while hiding a plot twist regarding the MC from the reader? I am finishing an arc of my novel, and right at the end some sudden

I'll answer this last question:

'What writing techniques can I use to make this kind effect? how can I keep the reader interested when MC is MIA for a long time (both in universe and in # of pages).'

Quite simply: Have multiple main characters. Make the MC you currently have not the only agent of conflict/the plot. Make it so you have another compelling character you're following the journey of while your main character is 'out of commission'.

Because otherwise, yeah. You're going to bore the reader to death.
