>Though I'm not sure how one would manage pacing and excitement in the writing,
Basically every season or story arc deals with one layer of 'truth', and time skips deal with downtime.
For example, first season presents two ideas:
- Paranormal things exist
- MC is recruited to help with it
No one really knows anything for sure, and much is expected from the agency. Cases are small, personal, from family being accosted by a spirit to a guy going missing in a cave. Then evidence mounts, and a cult is uncovered. The cult is dealt with, but MC is wounded and has to recuperate, both physically and mentally, while agency finally establishes some real baselines on how supernatural works and updates its stocks accordingly, and there's a sense of unease because the entire operation was covered up very quickly, and cult itself displayed certain familiarity with paranormal that by itself has weird implications. Which leads to season 2:
- Paranormal activity is not only a scientific fact, it is also starting to be clandestinely used by certain parties
- MC has to accept that he is becoming detached from his old life
Yokai are not public knowledge, but things are veering into fringe application territory. Steroids made from oomukade poison, psychics trained to scry secure locations (inaccurately), business suits with spidersilk for extra protection.
The world is beginning to change, but subtly.
And so on. So the reader/viewer can always expect new cool things to be revealed and for them impact the world.
