 My book concept purposely violates most plot structures in favor of character, which I think is a good thing. Readers spend more than half the time figuring out who to even cheer for, which I think is realistic. I’ve got other tropes, like a mad scientists and some villain with a scar on their face, but those are pretty intentional. The whole well-trodden act or plot structure is purposely different.
