I'm always a bit of an 'anti-narrative' fan, who enjoys story structures with surprises, which is maybe why I prefer the other way of putting it, but even if you do want to buck trends, narrative theory can help you get unstuck when you don't know why a story doesn't feel right yet. So, one way is to take a step back and ask what the central enigma is. What problem are the characters solving? Does it get solved?>
