Helping the story is such a self-explanatory statement. Honestly. Fics generally have more than one thing counting for or against it, but the reasons stated by AYRT are in the negative column for a lot of otherwise good fic. IMO, it comes up as a complaint in the fic discussion thread frequently enough to be an objectively bad feature.

No, "helping the story" is such a self-important statement, premised on the idea that things you think will help the story will, in fact, objectively do so, and that things you think will be detrimental to the story will, in fact, objectively be so.

But that's kind of bullshit. I personally feel that non-linear narratives should die a quick death and the authors who use it are probably trying too hard to be deep. But that's my personal opinion. Non-linear narratives are not objectively bad (or good). Authors don't owe me linear narratives.

And if they want to write it, it's not something that "shouldn't be there but was because they wanted to self-indulge". It's something that's there because they wanted to write it.

You can keep acting like there aren't factors that worsen a fic, but it'll still be pretending. It's laughable, but you do you. But you can stop acting like this is a simple case of, "Thos author didn't write what I want, wah." There's a reason people value honest betas, readers, and second opinions; because people often aren't as objective with their own work. They ~~indulge~~ at points where they shouldn't. Yes, it's what they wanted to write at the time. No, that doesn't mean it was the best choice for that fic, and a decent amount of writers, myself included, care about fixing those mistakes.
