absolutely not saying novels need images on every page - (some novels might benefit from having a page of just art, but not all!) but you need to use the page itself as a tool, not just write words and paragraphs that could arbitrarily go on any page beyond, like, chapter breaks.

RPG party who are all going to explode soon for unrelated reasons. One has a nuclear reactor for a heart. One has been exposed to the Slow Acting Poison That Makes You Explode. One is wearing a bomb collar. For the last one it's just their species' natural life cycle and exploding is how they fuck.
