Is there any difference between the clues in the novel and the clues in the dark

The clues in novels were usually called open or hidden clues. Bright lines referred to the clues that the author directly described, such as the story plot, character relationships, character experiences, and so on. Hidden clues referred to the clues that the author indirectly described through hints, metaphor, hints, etc., such as the character's psychology, the development of the story, the relationship between the characters, and so on. The difference between open and hidden lines was mainly reflected in the following aspects: 1. Different ways of expression: the bright lines are directly described by the author and can be shown through direct description and dialogue; the dark lines are indirectly described by the author through hints and metaphor, which need to be hinted and reflected through other elements. 2. Different roles: The role of the bright line is usually to attract the reader's interest through the promotion of the story, the change of the relationship between the characters, the embodiment of the character's image, etc. The role of the dark line is to attract the reader's attention by revealing the character's psychology and promoting the development of the story. 3. Different forms of expression: the bright lines can be expressed through direct description and dialogue, while the dark lines can be expressed through hints, metaphor, hints, etc. The clues in the novel could be either overt or underhanded, but whether it was overt or underhanded, they needed to be used in an appropriate way to play the greatest role in attracting the reader's attention and promoting the development of the story.
