So, guys, I was pretty bored. As an author myself, I would like to know what you readers expect in a good story. Feel free to share your opinions here. It would also help me to make my contest story. So far, I have got the name and start of the plot. PLS NO DRAMA
Notes for a good story: I just made this as a small summary for me.
Good personality, choices, plan out a good plot - @LiaMina
Well personally all I do is read lol but what I really look for is a planned out story line that doesn’t jump all over the place but what I really Like is when your so engrossed in a book you actually have feelings toward a character not that you love them (I mean ig u could though) but you feel sad when there sad or excited when there excited and I think the one thing I love the most about a good story is that one genre can’t define it. There should hardship, and enemies, and love, and friendship, and comedy. Because it makes the story so much more powerful and meaningful
yes, put some emotions to their hardships, friendships, comedy. Your reader should feel some emotions towards your character. Make them real, express their emotions with action and dialogue.
on episode the whole purpose is the choices you make. and I am not expecting big impact full choices. but just some like. go on a date I can pic between cinima or resturant. I take cinima and we go in the cinima. and not been hey look cinima is cloes and then go to the resturant. dont give me a choice if it is not a choice. but I still want choices.
Polished, 3 Dimensional characters with flaws, a back story, hobbies, personality, goals, dreams, fears, and just anything also that can make them seem more realistic
I think the most important is that we can connect with our characters, feels her or his emotions.
I also really like that the story has tons of plot twist and because I’m not a really fan of romance , I get really happy and hooked when there is love but suddenly the author wrote drama, like he lied to you of something like that, I don’t like happy endings lol.
Anyone who can recommends stories that have that?
