1. For my transition from Ion to Eradiate, it's actually not as abrupt as it seems. My first four videos on Eradiate (Ep.1 to Ep.4 of AFOE), which were the videos made before my hiatus on said channel, were actually not that good at all. Episode 1 and 2 are the episodes that I dislike most in the whole series. They had no substance and was filled with filler. If you compare them to my NAFOE Season 2 on IonMapping, you'll find that they are quite similar in terms of pacing and dialogue style. After my nearly half year hiatus on Eradiate, I still wasn't good enough, although you can see Episode 5 is relatively better than the previous four episodes. I learned as I went along, which is why each episode generally seems to get better starting from Season 2. It took me a year to figure out what I was supposed to do on IonMapping, and another year to try map even better than what I had done before. So in conclusion, it wasn't a quick transition at all.

2. For your plot, I can understand why it would be hard if you don't have a central character, but maybe your story, or rather the stories of your major characters should all have a similar theme, but just experienced in different ways? Be careful with multiple major characters though, it might be hard to give them all of their deserved screentime.

By the way, if you're stuck, it really does help to watch good films or just read good short stories. They can give you ideas that you've never thought of.
