good, interesting, worthwhile storytelling: being honest about life in all its tragedies as well as its victories, letting characters be flawed, letting itself be bittersweet, a full story arc with a satisfying conclusion that can be tragic or happy or in-between
the literal opposite of interesting: nihilism and ruin and edge, creating unnecessary drama by ruining established relationships/characters, uprooting already-finished arcs to make things DARK and REALISTIC
