by Iron_Daddy

Tony wakes up one morning to find nobody knows who Peter is, nobody remembers Spiderman, nobody recalls the vigilante who helped stop Thanos- Nobody recalls the energetic avenger-in-training at all, except Tony.

What the fuck is happening??

Any tips on how to make readers root for a character that's not the narrator?

Well, why have you ever rooted for characters other than the narrator? What have you read or heard from other people that makes them root for a character? Oftentimes a good chunk of an answer just takes a bit of introspection or listening.

Typically, readers root for characters that they find to have at least one of the qualifications:

Useful: Contributes positively to the story, either by helping others or driving it themselves.

Sympathetic: The character is understandable as a well rounded person.

Funny: Is amusing to readers.

Relatable: Readers can see parts of themselves in the character. A Reminder About “Relatable” Characters (link embedded)

Admirable: Has generally good qualities, but does not have to be perfect. A realistic role model.

Interesting: The more they learn, the more people want to know more about them.

(This isn’t a rigid list, but the qualifications are generally positive or entertaining)

None of those qualifications are restricted to only show-able in a narrator in any way, however a good part of ‘rooting” for someone involves wanting them to achieve their goal. Not being the narrator, they’re likely not the protagonist and therefore the main plot may not be about their goal. You can address that in a few ways:

Subplots: Give the character and their goal a subplot, however remember that subplots have to be related to the main plot and can’t just be a character going off for unrelated reasons. 

Aligned goals: By participating in the plot and alongside the protagonist, the character’s goals can be worked toward, though it’s not the same as the protag’s.

Same goal: They have the same goal as the protag. (When using this option, make sure to give that character unique motivation. Being too similar to a protagonist in motive can decreases reader interest.)

Side stories: The character is allowed to have their own adventures, you just shouldn’t be dedicating a lot of “screen time” to them if they aren’t directly plot involved.

In the most generic sense, you just want to write an interesting character. No, the reader is not going to be able to see their inner monologue, but they can’t see most of any book characters’ inner monologues and it’s rare for a reader to hate everyone but the narrator (unless they’re all poorly written or that’s the point).

You can still teach a reader about a character through: body language, description, dialogue, symbolism, actions, choices, etc. 

Good luck with your character!

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.
