Thats DnD, though. You’re not the narrator, you’re the benevolent god allowing the story to unfold.
I played recently with a newer DM who had written this complex story and kept trying to weave in obvious set pieces for us. At first, I played along, but when we started to go off track, he introduced an omnipotent NPC to help keep us on his path. I was done at that point. I’m not here to listen to a story.
If I find a clue early, I understand it might not make sense until later.
