What's fundamental to a good story?

1. No giant ass body parts (boobs/ass) like idc how well written the series is, if one character there has a massive boobs even though she's in highschool I'm dropping that shit immediately. 2. When it comes to smutty stories, make it a PLOT WITH PORN. I don't need it every damn chapter. I need the damn plot too. 3. For the love of God give the pr......   reply

More than anything, I think it should be interesting, in fact I'd take a bad interesting story over an okay mediocre one. There's gotta be something about the story that you can look at and go "well at least that was different or unique". We still talk about, say, the Star Wars prequels because they were bad in an interesting way; whether it was th......   reply

For me the top thing that makes a good story is consistent characters. Like if you're going to give me a boss as bitch keep them a boss as bitch around the love interest. Don't make them go stupid and useless cause the love interest is around. Consistent and logical thought process. Sometimes nonsense is thrown into stories to make them more inter......   reply

Yeah I agree, I don’t mind if these characters are evil or whatever. I want them to have a motive to do something good or bad. And I want them to have a personality it okay to change their personality slowly as they grow in the story. But nothing pisses me of than their personalities completely changing because they met their love interest like.......   reply

The characters. I’m a character driven reader, so I don’t care about genre as much as I care about what the characters are doing. They could be awful, but they need to be interesting (at least to me).   reply

Pacing. How the story got to its point needs to make sense. Step one, two, three etc etc. I don't want to be reading 3 chapters in and they've already divorced 6 times, tried to commit murder for money, and made up in chapter 1. Anytime a story is fast paced it just kills everything else. Like I'm not looking for slow burn or anything, I just wanna......   reply

I only have 3 criteria for a story to be good for me or at least enough for me to finish reading it XD Either they have all three or they only meet one. 1. Visuals- I need the art style to be pleasing if it's a visual media plus the editing and visual effects. In writing, the characters should at least have one eye candy (quite shallow but sue me).......   reply

I like stories that inherently have flaws in them. I don't think there are any perfect stories and honestly as long as the author really tried and the premise is interesting I'll probably like it. If the premise isn't interesting but its pacing is good, it's also fine. As long as it's balanced in the end, it's fine. Like a story might have terribl......   reply

I agree, Characters have to have understandable motives. Nothing is better than being able to agree or disagree with a character, it makes them seem more human. I also agree on pacing, it kills me how a lot of the things I read don't use their formats to effectively convey appropriate emotional timing or even comedic timing. But, I believe this is......   reply
