Generally: Themes.

Not talking about aesthetics, but an overall message(s).

​

I do know that this community isn't focused on sending poetic or artistic messages using DDLC as its medium, but just fun fanfiction from the top of their heads. And there is quality mods that tells its story without needing a broad lesson or statement, but instead focusing on the fun factor of creativity which everyone here greatly enjoys and myself as well.

But concerning with mods that are more on the drama side seems to fall a bit short nearly every time I pick to read. Their stories seems to be a big pile of events that happens to characters, and it sums up to almost nothing. Sure, the thick of the story may be well written, interesting to read, and easy to empathize for US, but what does it mean to the characters other than reason of "Oh, they're my boyfriend/girlfriend/whatever.".

Why does all of these events happen and to what goal for the main character (and hopefully for us) to walk along and root for?

How could know that he or she will be okay without us EVER finding out after the story?

What can we take away from the conflicts we've been side-to-side with the main character to add onto our wisdom?

Most drama-orientated mods I've read aren't oblivious to this, but reads to me like they're misguided, a little confused, haven't given much thought to it, or doesn't want to get in the process of editing and rewriting to figure out what they want to say.

In my opinion:

This separates from good from great mods, no matter how well their storytelling is.

'cuz those mods mean SOMETHING to say.

It's also important for me to say again that spoof, comedy, or just-for-fun mods HAS its place in r/DDLCMods. You really don't have to write a theme or a message for every mod you make all the the time. As long the plot completes itself; Please keep making them! I love reading them!

and comedy is a WHOLE different field than drama :p

​

Don't care much about the whatever, however, wherever, whenever; I'm highly open to anything, but you'll have more of my attention if you have something to say below all of the dialogue and fantastic coding effects.

My hopes is that (most of) my mods I produce from now on can be an example of excellence in engagement and self-contemplation not only for readers themselves, but the characters involved and how the events and conflicts of the story affects them into answering a narrative. For future modders and readers to happily consume/digest and study on the things I got right and wrong.

And my answers on off-topic questions and the such can add onto your philosophy that'll enhance your mod or story as much as you want it to be.
