Why do people enjoy stories?I was thinking that people enjoy stories is because of character drama.Because plots are the same in the end, and they recycle tropes.So stories always reuse the same 3-10 story plots, because there's a really limited number of plots.Quality of prose is irrelevant for most genre fiction, because popular genre fiction has bad prose.So if neither prose and plot are what drives people to a story, I suppose what drives people are well designed characters that has human motivations and we see them grow and suffer.Besides, people don't remember the entire plot, we remember are a couple of scenes that define each character personality in our mind.
>hurr durr it's all the same X number plotsMost people who say this haven't written shit and the few that have are guilty of the shittiest formulaic writing
>>24894639OP admitted to being a fantasy reader. Of course he has no clue what real literature is. You're expecting too much from someone who is clinically retarded.
>>24894639the good stories always follow closely the archetypical plots.>but huh duh don't follow themNo following the archetypical plots is what mediocre writers always do.>>24894687high literature is always character based, then prose based.Plots aren't very relevant for non genre fiction.
