Then a linear plot is a kinetic novel. If it follows the same goddamn straight line with little to no variation, it'll only retell the same story no matter how many times you read it and thus is invariant.
A small 'blip' in the development, such as a text line alternation or sex scene, doesn't actually affect the plot, and thus it stays straight as an arrow.

Full circle to one part of my dislike for Sharin!

>All those things you listed would be qualified as "Branching Plot" or whatever.

Yes, branching, linear plots. Hence the comparison above.
