Line 8:
* A sensational plot and dramatic action tend to overshadow characterization, with romantic elements likely present. Unlikely coincidences are sometimes seen. The exaggerated plot makes the story somewhat unrealistic, but readers are willing to suspend disbelief for the sake of the ride.
* A strong effort is made to wring emotional responses from the reader (suspense, fear, shock, grief, relief, joy, etc.). The story might have comic bits but is quite definitely serious in overall tone.
* After an epic struggle between the protagonists and antagonists, a (generally) happy ending is achieved with the triumph of Good over Evil.
