I think @GeorgeGlass has the right of it.
The only other thing I can think of, and I will admit it does annoy me, is when people put a word or phrase in quotations as a form of emphasis:
He seemed to think he was always going to be “the big man on campus” despite being the lowest producer on the team.And there’s the quote within conversation, which should be marked by ‘ ‘ rather than “ “ :
“So, he said the me, ‘I won’t eat that rubbish.’ Can you imagine the cheek?”-

I’m with @Desiderius Price on this. Do what you think will have the greatest “punch” and keep the readers invested for the next part.

Do that thing where it turns out the remorseless hated evil they thought was destroyed suddenly appears again, like when I haven’t posted here for a hit then suddenly reply.
