Hey guys. The first poll here based on some random troupes/ideas. 

[Note - The poll is a bit related to Wind Calamity and any future fanfics I write but won't have any direct impact on the story.]

What are your thoughts on arcs that don't include the Main Character?

I personally always hoped to see arcs that don't include the main character and focus on other amazing characters in the series. For example, in one piece, I wanted to see arcs that focused on Shanks or Dragon. Or past arcs that included fights between Roger, Garp and Whitebeard. 

Similarly, in Naruto, one of the things I wanted to see is how the 1st, 2nd and 3rd great Ninja wars progressed. The tactics every village used, alliances made, betrayals, inner workings of other villages, etc. And of course the epic fights in the past like Hanzo Vs the Sannins, maybe fights involving Hiruzen and past Kages, and definitely the wars that happened before the formation of villages. 

I thought a lot about making an arc in Wind Calamity that doesn't include Fujin, but this fanfic is very heavily centered around Fujin. Though I did create a lot of original characters, other than his squad and maybe Teru, I haven't developed anyone much (something I'll be working on in the future). So I haven't had any good ideas so far to do it without breaking continuity. 

Anyways, let me know your thoughts on this.

It depends, it has to be a good arc that has lasting repercussions throughout the story whether it affect the MC or the world in general, also they shouldn’t be too long, in my opinion when story arcs without the MC go on for too long (if it’s not interesting) it gets boring and makes me walk away for a while but like I said it depends from show to show or manga to manga, if it’s done well then it can be great and help freshen up a story that’s gotten stagnant

It might be fine to include arcs without the Mc if you’re writing a fast paced, high momentum story. But your story is so slow paced and low momentum, I think including an arc without the Mc would just kill it completely
