I like introductions like “show, don’t tell”, because I hate when the MC narrates for 30s or the writer shows up as their own character to explain things. I think it should be something that keeps the reader interested but also helps learning more about who the MC is (personality, career, etc.) without it being all narration. For me there needs to be a reason the story is starting there, if not it just feels like there was no planning and the writer just didn’t know how to kick off the story.
