Does everything need to be driving the plot forward? Does it have to create emotional shifts in the character? Is conflict the only thing that gets people to read?

This way of thinking really annoys me, and seems to shut down any writers who dont want to follow the same, savethecat bs, procedure like every other novel or screenplay.

Edit: I write literary fiction.

Rating seems so volatile, its quite frustrating.
