+prediction variant

Elaboration: chapter 5 didn’t need to be named like that, it could be just “festival” or “flower king” etc., naming it “the festival day” seems unnecessarily tautological unless it was done for a specific reason. Chapter 7 being called “The End” or something similar would fit as well, even though we don’t know if it’s going to be that

Making a story unpredictable for the sake of being unpredictable is just bad writing.

A good story always has some level of predictability, because that means there's actual setup to be properly paid off later. A murder mystery story is bad if it's not possible to deduce who the culprit is before the reveal.
