Guide To Reading Lost World
Lost World is not a fully linear story, so it might seem confusing sometimes if you assume it is. This page serves to explain what each component is supposed to be.
Writing forms
Forms of writing or collections of writings, with different purposes.
Chapters
Found under chapters, chapters refer to two things:
- a collection of things, segmenting the story into multiple parts;
- a single work. We will refer to these writings as subchapters.
Subchapters
- these are often labelled in this format: Chapter x.x
- These are the linear part of the story. Chapters are logs, or journal entries from Moss. They detail what Moss is thinking of or experiencing throughout the story, from the point where they woke up.(and the story began.)
Chapters
Chapters segment the story into different parts. There's 4 so far. Chapters usually segment the story into bigger events, like one big plot. They're also listed under chapters with a small description.
Notes
Notes can complement chapters, or be their own plotline. These are often not linear. You can try piecing them together yourself if you'd like, but there's journals that compose and describe topics and side plots, grouping notes.
Journals
As already described above, journals group writings into a topic. A side plot from a character's point of view, or their discoveries, for example. These are usually more of an aid than an actual plot thing. You can also piece the parts together yourself, if you'd like.
