| Jul 29, 2021 at 1:59 | comment | added | Alexander | Generally, it is very unusual not to have any characters appearing in one scene only, so this is totally Ok. But if you want to deliberately limit the number of characters, you'll have to find ways to do it. | |
| Jul 29, 2021 at 1:35 | comment | added | user36239 | I am wondering if I should avoid introducing characters that have no or little relevance to the plot. | |
