What makes a story truly exciting, regardless of the literary genre it belongs to? The plot , someone will answer. Yes, without a doubt the plot plays a fundamental role in a story, because it makes it a story, a set of events to tell. And so I formulate the question in another way: what makes a story truly exciting, regardless of the literary genre and plot? Credibility , I reply. The reader must believe in what he is reading, no matter if he is reading a simple detective story or a fantasy novel.
The writer must make the story believable , even if he is writing about the town that sits near a volcano inhabited by seven dragons. It should be added that in a children's story the writer has an advantage. If he began his story by writing: Once upon a time there was a town that stood near a volcano inhabited by seven dragons... no child would ask him for explanations. And the fairy tale would proceed smoothly and Special Data smoothly to its conclusion. However, if it is a novel for adults, or even children, then the matter changes. Then the writer can't get away with deploying his seven dragons in the volcano that smokes next to the town, because 99% of readers would close the book immediately.
The writer must work so that what he inserts into the story is believable. Not just to the reader, but to the characters involved. The characters are the first ones who must believe in the world they live in and the events they witness. And credibility is built with the introduction. It's how certain elements are introduced into the story that make it believable. The right amount of descriptions, sensations, emotions that make a character real, alive and allow the reader to believe in his existence. The world in which a story is set must be realistically constructed . And the writer is the first one who must believe in that world. Otherwise, how will it convey credibility to the reader? How important is credibility in narrative to you? Have you ever read a story and found it absurd, impossible, far-fetched in how it was told.
