In my fantasy rewrite, I have about 22 characters of importance. Three are main characters, and the rest are secondary. I have a few minor characters, but they barely show up, or won’t have a significant role until later books. Is this too many? I’m estimating the book will be about 100k in length, and there are two plots. One main plot and a big subplot with maybe a third minor subplot. The main plot is MC going to this fantasy world, while the subplot is the characters in our world trying to find her. So since she isn’t in the real world, I have a secondary character be the main POV for that subplot. Is there a limit when it comes to cast members? The first time I wrote this book I had WAY too many, and have cut out about five or six since then. A few of them I kept but won’t bring them up as much as I did before. Any advice?
