Forum: Story Discussion and Feedback

I understand the premise, the MC has accidentally merged 2 versions of himself or he(on the original timeline/dimension) merged with someone on another.

And by the titles of the books or volumes, he tries do so many times over thus eventually merging into godhood or ascending.

My question is, will the MC merge completely? I mean, if say he merged with 100 of himself, wouldn't that make the story convoluted? with so many different personalities the conscious talks would only be more long and confusing with so many of him talking to one another.

The story is very fun when he has just 4 minds. you can identify which is which during the 4 minds phase since it has different personalities. You should stop when he merges to 8, it goes downhill from there.

I find that as he gets more minds, although each individual mind becomes less recognizable, the story becomes less confusing. Once he gets enough minds that you can't remember which is which, you are able to view all the minds as "Mark" instead of as an individual character.

I agree with jr88.

When you read DVA, you'll start to treat the individuals in his head as "one Mark" with variations of his personality (but they are all VERY similar to the point of being identical). The point is, by mid point of the story, you shouldn't focus on the individual Marks or where they came from but treat all of them as the current "Mark" as one entity.

That way you won't get confused. Also, it doesn't really matter what alternate universes all the Marks came from because all the alternate universes of all the Marks that merge so are similar that it ultimately doesn't matter. The story still goes on as "one Mark."
