What makes a good story?
In my opinion :
a. interesting character.
b. good motive.
c. 3 act structure.
d. good progressing throughout the story.
e. have certain mood.
The writer must be able to deliver the mood to the reader so they can feel that they are inside the story.
And the story progress in the right direction so that the reader won't be bored or feel that the story is a bit too rushed. A good story will be able to tell all the important part that the reader need to know. Or be able to make a mystery that still be thinkable by the readers.
