That's fair. It's just not for me.
I've said before, I'm at an all time low of consuming stories (books, tv, movies) because of that.
There's an ex-employee of The Escapist, Daren Mooney, that said people like me are "continuity fetishists".
I'm ok with being called that. A consistent world is a sane world, at least for me.
But you're totally right. I've taken writing classes. Everything lives or dies at the altar of the story. I just no longer pray there.
In a story, say, the hero has an unbreakable sword.
Of course, in Act 2, the sword has to break because, in Act 3 "What is the measure of the hero without their [item/power/etc...]?" (That's when I tap out)
I prefer Diablo I (or was it II?) when, when I put the gem to make the sword unbreakable... and it became... you know... unbreakable.
But, I'm slowly making my peace that I'm in the minority for this and that stories are no longer for me.
