What Makes A Novel Great Novels & Stories

Dear Reader, Little did I know, as I sat down to write the first chapter of this book, what an incredible journey we would take together. What began as a tiny spark of a thought in my brain has turned into a living, breathing story filled with high stakes, fierce devotion, electric passion and characters that feel as real to me as old friends. Writing for you on GoodNovel has been one of the most satisfying experiences of my creative life. Every comment you leave, every coin or gem you spent to unlock a chapter, every vote you cast for this story, all fuel my imagination. It’s the energy I need to keep writing these worlds for you, when I log in and see your reactions to a sudden plot twist,

Then I'd read it back and think, Who is going to read this? Maybe that feeling never completely goes away. Maybe every writer secretly wonders whether their story deserves to exist. I don't know. What I do know is that I finished. And for someone who had never built an entire novel from scratch before, that means everything to me. I'm grateful to GoodNovel for giving me the opportunity to discover what creating an original story actually feels like. It pushed me far outside my comfort zone and taught me lessons I couldn't have learned any other way. Most importantly, I'm grateful to you.

What would be the best trait a main character of a novel has? Their wit? Their personality? No. Or their skills and hard work? No! What about overcoming their trauma? Their background story and motivation? Their character development? No, no! That was not the best! The main characters of a novel NEED none of those. The foremost thing they needed was... Luck. Plot armor! Cecilia KNEW that was the point of being the main character. Someone who had strong plot armor and tremendous luck on their side.
