Reveals, reversals, and twists don't count as a reveal, reversal, or twist if they are immediately obvious. So it depends on the kind of plot a reader is expecting/writer wants to write. In domestic thrillers, the three-four deep twists in last quarter of the book is so routine it's a genre marker

It's my birthday and I couldn’t ask for a better present than my first ever official anthology story going up for pre-order 🥳 It's about colonialism, environmentalism, a monster, and a dude who sucks. And I really hope you like it 🥰

In that weird, uncomfortable place in my day job career where every time I level up (develop my skills, demand a pay rise, move on to another employer etc) it means taking one step further away from what I really want to do. This is me saying every day I awake enraged to labour under capitalism.
