What you said is actually what they teach in colleges. The professionals agree with you. I've met several authors on here who think they're above that advice. 😅
It's not that complicated stories are bad. But there is a difference between complexity that serves the plot and confusion about what is actually necessary to include. Our stories should be an iceberg, where our behind-the-scene notes are holding the story up, even though the readers don't directly see them.
And ah yes, I remember the Chosen One battles well, from the early days of YouTube. 😁

That iceberg illustration is fantastic! I completely agree. Lol if that’s what the professionals say, I must be into something😂
Yes! The days of the Chosen One were so much fun! How time flies…
Dang! I've enjoyed his work for years but I didn't know there was a larger story. I've never seen the first video you showed.
Excellent article and great examples, I think those push the point home very well.
Thank you! I appreciate it. And yes, he’s grown his channel and the story quite a bit!
