I was thinking like how to avoid writing a story with a biased preference. Moral side (good vs. bad), Faction vs. Faction, Order vs. Chaos, or anything else you might wanna think of. Personally, I used to watch many shonen anime shows like Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Kuroko no Basket and many others when I was a small dope ass kid although even the majority of my friends intrigued them for their cool ass technique that is somehow illogical to real life, I even dropped in the mid point of the plot, and that is something which I don't appreciate and the reason of dropping the story:
THE ESCALATION PROBLEM
View attachment 2648
The plot formula which has the common, yet special technique on having a bland "plot armor" style. One prior example is "if you lose your shit, you take your shit back and win over with your ultimate shit" KAMEKAMEKAMEKAMEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! . In other words, it's literally everywhere in every shonen shows even most Western young adult teen show that has that too (Superwoman series, Flash Series, and etc.). This Escalation Problem has yet considered to be acceptable to most series' fans because it's hype as shit (a mere "hype value" as it is).
If we're reading/watching a story, we mostly immerse like an animal, but if we're reading/watching a "good" story, we mostly immerse like a human. Good example is, "It's okay to fail something, it's okay to move on, it's okay to run away like a coward, it's okay to everything that might torment you, it's okay that you can just suffer everytime you want, it's okay to lose/break-up with your girlfriend. it's okay to feel empty. it's okay to kill someone, it's okay to die for your better choice. it's okay to have an anticlimactic ending. "
... because that is what a human truly needs. We need that "relatable" self-fulfillment which we truly need of especially it's unexpected to grow within yourself. If your character has bland-looking features like being a typical man/woman who has modest-looking style, then you can add that taste with "good quality personality" which enable the readers/watchers to immerse themselves within the fantasy you truly want to escape to. Adding some realism into the unique fantasy world will tell how much it is worth to explore what and how you wonder around. With deep meaning/messages through "show, don't tell" principle, you really can tell yourself differently that it was more worthy to immerse yourself through story. With a human mind so complex, it will definitely worth a taste to see.
So...
The proper way to execute the plot is not to let readers predicted what's going to happen.
That's all..
To you, what's your opinion about having a "good" plot formula?
