Plot and Story

[Hajunn]

Is speed enough to transcend story (or, more specifically, plot)? Is story something that depends on speed, and can a character move independently of the plot (and story) just by being fast? Are the things he does still not part of the plot?

In my opinion the plot has to be transcended by existence and speed is not enough to transcend the plot.

I don't see why speed should even matter to transcend the plot of a story. Speed is just movement. It can't make you above a narrative except if the verse itself has an explanation or an in-verse ability regarding that.

As you said, being above the plot is a characteristic of your existence, not of your speed.

In fiction, anything is possible, including out speeding the plot. But, that's only if the author says it's possible. So to answer your question, it depends on the verse in question, it is possible, though no verse has shown the ability to do such.

I did not understand anything. What is your question? What is your point?

Can any story or plot be quickly transcended?

What? Like I don't get the question, why would it matter if it is quick or slow?

There is actually a verse that has shown this but it isn't on the wiki.

They wanted to know if you can transcend and outspeed the plot/story/narrative by running super fast.

If the author wrote it that way the yeah, X character can move so fast he transcended the story.

As of how that would translate in the wiki, if the character is specified to not have gotten stronger in any shape or form excluding their speed, then they are likely going to have the associated Powers and Abilities as well as the character's speed something like Immeasurable. Since by that point, the important thing is what were the effects the character have because of their speed which is gonna be placed in the P&A section.

No

It's funny you say that because I just found an example of someone moving so fast, it literally breaks the plot.
