What is your portfolio aimed at anyways? Doing a structured portfolio that has a clear theme throughout is not a bad idea at all. Many clients in the animation industry for example even want to see that sort of thing because it shows you can work towards a goal, flesh out a story and keep a consistent style etc.

Just don't neglect your art while doing it. I personally wouldn't do an original story either because it can turn out a bit cringy without you realizing it. Lots of artists take somewhat obscure fairy tales or tales and legends from different cultures and create their portfolio around a redesign of that while still focusing heavily on showing off their art skills with character designs, color keys, full illustrations etc.
