I'm not a fan of any of these guys but they've produced some resources on story structure I've found potentially useful for web/serial fiction:
>Dan Harmon's Story Circle
https://channel101.fandom.com/wiki/Story_Structure_101:_Super_Basic_Shit
this is basically babby's first Hero's Journey but it's an okay starting point which articulates things you might already be aware of but hadn't thought about consciously
>Dan Wells' Seven Point Story Structure
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzfRuHa21NIzQFrQ6FAq8Pj2IA_SXiwrN&si=CeqGZhCye9SIKhFg
nothing revolutionary but the discussion about lining up the climaxes and pinch points in concurrent plots is worth checking out
>Dax Murray's Layering Method
https://blog.daxmurray.com/serial-storytelling
web novels/serial fiction can get away with a lot but I think this layering can help reduce meandering and maintain momentum/relevance
Perfect narrative won't save shit characters/dialogue/etc but how are you approaching story structure? I think it's a helpful tool at certain points of the writing process as long as you don't become a slave to it.
