Should I start my high fantasy novel with the inciting event?
I haven't really read any novels that don't wait until at least two or three chapters into the book before the inciting event. I want to start my disruptive incident at the end of the first chapter, after I've explained the very basics of the magic system.
I'm way too early in the writing process, and am not really sure if starting my high fantasy novel with a "regular day in the MC's life" is going to work out for my book, because it's just that. A regular day in the MC's life. I wanted to build my world as the MC explores it, but am not really sure if I should. It might end up being too confusing if I accidentally info-dump, but too vague if I only show and not tell.
Should I push the inciting event further back to chapter three or four or keep where it is, at the end of chapter one?
