Well, I also understand that the majority looks into the writing styles of a story and also most of the time the characters in the story since they can relate with their experiences and it makes the story more real to them. And I'm not disregarding that factors because they are also important in order give life to the story. But for me, I find the essence of the story much more important then the characters or the style of writing. Since, a good plot itself has everything on it, the characters are carefully placed and written for a specific purpose with their own specific tasks and the style of writing greatly depends on the author's view or perspective on how the story should be written. If a story has a bad plot then all the rest of the factors would fall because everything is based on the plot. Don't you think?
