I'm just wondering, how important is it to keep the character gallery slim and functional and the plots straight?
I know that for example Robert Jordan bloated his series with endless subplots and characters, and which is the reason to why I love him despite me feeling there's to much magic in that series, and so how off putting is it with writing character focused "slice of life" kind of stories as opposed to stories where everything has a purpose and things are not as messy as in stories that tries to reflect real life more?
I know I can and probably should write what I want. But I am a bit curious about what people think of this. Are there anyone else but me out there who appreciate the messy plotlines and vast set of characters, not all of them feeling particuarly relevant at all times?
