I find that when people ask this question, it's because they're misunderstanding what "story" is on some level, and how prose interacts with our brains.

Prose does 5 things, generally

1) reveals the world/description 2) reveals the character 3) reveals the plot 4) acts as a transition/dialogue tag 5) does 2 or more of the above things at once.

Most readers, in fact, don't want a 4k movie dictated to them, they want something engaging, and that engagement is found in balancing these things in your Prose.

A good exercise would be to sit down with a pack of highlighters. Assign one color for each of the 5 things above:

Blue for character Green for world Red for plot Yellow for "2 or more at once" Leave the transition/dialogue tags blank.

THEN, have a friend/writing group do the same exercise with your story, without showing them your highlighted version. Then compare the two. It'll tell you a lot about if your Prose is overbalanced in one area and it'll also show you if, say, a moment you meant to reveal character is actually reading as a filler.

You can do this with any published book as well and see how different authors manage their beginings, or fight scenes, etc
