Recently, I was watching a show in which a beloved character was in a situation where they were going to die, but they get saved by their friends.

I find this type of plot to be boring and overused. Why don’t writers let their characters die? I feel it would be more interesting to have an important character die, such as the MC, more often.

It’s an overused trope that most writers tend to use so their story can have a “happy ending”.

    I guess it’s hard to figure out if your audience wants to see more of your character or if they are tired of them and want something new.

    Having a story to tell helps. This is only an issue if you’re making stuff up as you go along. Definitely feels like too many things just start with a premise hoping to find a compelling story along the way.
