Really depends on the storyline, for example with one of my stories the plan is to reveal a big secret a few chapters (could end up being more than a few though) before the finale so I can show the massive revelation (which also poses as a big “problem”) and I can spend the rest of the chapters having the characters resolve that problem or work around it/come to accept it. With another story of mine, the plan has been to reveal the biggest secret of all right at the end and leave readers in shock and question the entire story.
