Being both right and wrong.
Let us try this. The reader should be keep in the dark but able to see what could happen in a few chapter. They should not be able to jump to the end at say I need they were the killer at page 12 ( unless the book only has 15 pages ). The writer job is to keep the reader moving forward and the foresight is a way to do that.
Chek, clues, and spoilers
Chek in her writing seem to make it look like that is the only way it could happen. As it is the only game in town and any other ideas to the contrary are not as provable, therefore they must be wrong. When this kind of thing happens and if the writer (Gosho) reads or hears any of the rumors, they may feel they have written themselves in to a wall and their way may work for the writer but suddenly if they write the way they were planning, it has become unsound and they might be feel forced to take the story a way they normally would not. It is then the writer has lose control of their story and may find it hard to get their story back to track.
On the other hand, if the writer has finished their work, then things and clues that people like Chek state and find can not longer influence the story and their work they becomes important as Easter eggs to hunt for. There is nothing wrong with theories as long as they are part of a forest of many different ideas and not the only one stated. I give an example - How Akai might have survived. Chek currently seen to go with the metal under the hat trick, while my new theory goes move the gun to graze the cheek trick. But of course my new theory shows how Akai could be Scar Akai and not Okiya. It to me anyway would be interesting to see her explore more branches. Like for example do what she does, but also add other but conflicting views, Like Akai is Sera, Akai is Conan(crazy but just for example), Akai is Okiya, Akai is Scar Akai, or even as Gosho has said and wrote Akai is dead. That opens loop holes and prevent the writer from maybe writing themselves into a wall. This is being tried in the court of opinion and it be nice to see the other side as well presented. I wonder how many court case where justice was not done because one was which might have been true could not explain themselves as the other side and so was handicapped.
And I would agree if this was a done work and not a work in progress. That would be true if DC was completely written and there was not chance of influencing the story. I read about how two different anime have ending a normal reader would not wish for and wish it could of happened a different way, but they did not. They ended in a violent and horror way. And yes the clues were they that they might end that way. Names of two of them in spoilers. Read them at your own risk.As for theories being "the only way it could happen"...that's not necessarily the theorists problem. If Gosho is writing in such a way that analyzers such as Chek can pick up his clues and predict what he's going to do they're not "making it the only way it could happen" they're saying "this is what I'm thinking is going to happen because". If you've noticed...Chek have very long posts. She hasn't just said "Okiya is Akai. This is the only way it can be" and left it at that. She's theorized, revised, editted, looked over pages twice, cited her evidence, linked things together...and much more. She's done her work and her "reward" is people's belief and possibly it happening in the comic herself. Basically, in the end, a "good job"I have read about certain stories where the writers were not allowed to tell their stories by either publicist, or fans. My point is a writer must be able to tell their story in their way without being influenced to change their story because of a fan who writes what could happen so good and proven that the writer is forced to change it as not to look foolish. It is a bit of if that had not happened, how would the finished product be different. Â I know as the cases are so short, that jumping from page 5 to page 50 in Conan is unavoidable. but it should be possible to avoid jumping from page 5 to page 500.Spoiler:
This topic is about Ranting. Note they be less ranting if Chek words were not so well written. I know I am not as good as her in proving my case and so my case of speculation is thought to be crazy, but basically because too much speculation about what might be happening off page. Yet it does add a tree to the forest.
I hope this explain your question ÂA question: how is Chek making Gosho write the story the way she wants him to? She doesn't know him as far as I know. No one is forcing Gosho to do anything (other than maybe his editors).

Please Reply. I enjoy a exchange of ideal that are "interesting" Also note he attacked me not you. Not surprised, He done this before.
