I came across a comment on a thread, regarding what turns them away from a story, and someone had mentioned that they hate dramatic stories. Do any of you feel the same way about them too? If so, what exactly is it, that puts you off? Is it too depressing and/or triggering?
Let me know your thoughts.
It can be dramatic. Just not TOO dramatic, and on a relatively realistic/believable level. For writers out there: donât add drama for the sake of adding drama, do it because it adds more depth to the characters and the story 
But wonât certain situations be deemed as too dramatic to some and believable to others? I feel like the story I will be writing, might be too dramatic because of the things that have happened towards me and others around me.
I guess my story wonât be for a lot of people out there.
Hey, you donât know that. Even if it is, so what? You should write for yourself first There will always be people who are into different things. Personally, I donât care how sensitive or âdramaticâ a story is, as long as itâs good to me.
Iâm not a fan of too much drama, maybe a little tho haha. As said above, itâs awesome if itâs logical and believable. The worst drama scene I hate and see in Episode stories all the time is when the MC girl catches the love interest being kissed by a girl even tho he doesnât want to kiss her back 
then the MC leaves and doesnât understand the full story.
I literally hate drama, I mean, some drama stories could be good but some of them could go in an entirely different direction. Itâs just the lack of choice that gets to me sometimes, like when a character decides to do some really stupid thing and it creates a whole problem, I HATE THAT. I mean of course the characterâs decisions are not based on the readerâs intentions but still, itâs annoying 
. I like drama to a certain extent.
The thing is, I want to create âdramaâ that is more psychological thriller rather than it being some petty stuff that is on some âbad boyâ if that makes sense. I donât know if the word drama is even the right word to describe it.
My story will not have choices that will change the storyline, just the basic simple choices. The reason being, a lot of the choices that I have read just have the worst choices, a lot of the time it makes me want to stop reading because the choices that you get to make doesnât allow the character to grow. They just keep making the same stupid mistake.
However, I am working on a second story but that will be more like a horror game and will have A LOT of choices and endings. I just want to dabble in both worlds and see how good my storytelling is with and without major choices. Sorry if I seem like Iâm going on a rant, I truly appreciate your comments.
Oh, I HATE those scenarios! Itâs overdone.
You are right I do want to create it in a certain way, that may not be popular with a lot of people. But, thanks for the input, really appreciate it. :)
Itâs alright. Hmu if youâd like me to do a review on your story when youâre done though I just really hate basic dramas with predictable/ cliche endings
Oh, Iâve got a long way to go yet. In fact, I may just let you get to read the story, for you to review it, before its even published. At the moment Iâm still on the script bases, just need to perfect the script. And donât worry, there will be nothing clichĂ© about this.
Sounds good.
Of course!
