My story doesn’t have any romance in it. It’s more of a character driving himself to his doom chasing an impossible and stupid goal.

>> No.16179495

>>16178395
Consecutive events following each other without pause. The events need to connect in some way (it can't be just random stuff happening), and the characters need to face challenges every chapter.

adventure stories generally are made of 3 components - a journey, a crisis on that journey, and a triumph in some way to complete the adventure. these can be subverted, reversed, or distorted in some way but to be an adventure story they usually complete the journey crisis triumph narrative arc. apart from this, what makes a good adventure story is everything else that makes a good story, interesting characters, solid world building, well written dialogue, ect.

I'd say world- and character building are among the most important factors in adventure novels. Adventure novels are just about the most suited genre for escapism (however much /lit/ likes to shit on that term), and being able to form a decent mental image of the surroundings and characters in the story facilitates that enormously. That's why, personally, I'd say an adventure book typically gets better (there are exceptions) with a higher page count.

The adventure is a metaphor for some dumb pretentious shit

Something that speaks to the readers subconcious. So essentially any works based on the structure of classic mythos, such as the Hobbit or LOTR.
