Patience is key, but I’ll digress... actually no
I’m concerned that this might impact more fights in the future. Like if there’s a small, but important fight between two or three people in the future, will we have to timeskip those for the other few who have characters that absolutely can’t do anything? That could also mess with the continuity for the story we’re trying to build. Readers would start to get confused with the timeline alone.
For example, the little time skip we had in the forest of death. We have a whole group fighting but after the timeskip, their fight continues the same. It was understandable to timeskip back then since this wasn’t that big and could’ve died if it slowed too much. There were also some impatient people (Me
).
Now though, I think most of us have the patience too wait. Plus, there should be something for most characters to do. Yes, character interactions are a thing. And yeah, I know we’re not skipping the fight but there really isn’t a need to mess with the timeline.
