dialogheavy
Dialogheavy, sometimes written as dialog-heavy, is an adjective used to describe literary, cinematic, or dramatic works that rely predominantly on dialogue to convey plot, character, and information, with relatively little descriptive narration or exposition. In dialog-heavy works, much of what the audience learns about setting, motivation, and conflict comes from spoken exchanges between characters. The term is commonly applied to plays, screenplays, novels, radio dramas, and video games, though its presence can vary within a work.
Characteristics include a high proportion of dialogue per page, rapid exchanges, subtext and implied meaning, scene-by-scene
Advantages include immediacy, clarity of character dynamics, and accessible pacing; it can heighten tension through real-time
Notable examples: stage plays by William Shakespeare or George Bernard Shaw; novels by Jane Austen; screenplays
