What is the central theme of your story? mine is the importance of responsibility and the suffering that can come from neglecting your duty to those you care about.

The central theme of mine is how power can destroy you and with every blessing, there's a curse hidden deep.

Mine is that no matter what your going through, no matter how horrible and terrible you feel, and no matter how alone you might think you are, there will always be someone, something, or someway.

mine is naturalism vs free will. a question of whether or not you actually control anything about your fate, or if its just predetermined by indifferent nature.

almost forgot about the second big theme! I have two major plotlines running parallel so the two themes kinda converge and diverge at different spots, but the second one is the classic safety vs freedom. is it better to survive but barely in horrible living conditions, or to be free to go wherever but risk almost certain death?

I have many themes… I think "the power of friendship" cliche is the biggest one, though. I am ALL ABOUT THAT CLICHE.

But the second biggest one is about my main character's arc, about being selfless and living for something more than fame, riches, and glory.
