    Logic and common sense. If your story does not make logical sense within its own universe, it is not a good story. If you set something up in a certain way, and then retcon it, that is bad storytelling. If you show one thing and tell a completely different thing, that is bad storytelling. If you make a race of people or a particular person, only to then tear them down and paint them as awful since the dawn of time when they clearly weren't until a grand total of 5 minutes ago (if at all), that's bad storytelling. (I mentioned RWBY earlier and cartoon villain Ironwood fits this last one well)

    If a story does any of these, you have encountered bad storytelling. These are not the only storytelling rules, but they are some of the basics, and Endwalker breaks all of these. Endwalker is not a good story. It is objectively pretty bad. You can like it, and you have the right to do so, but if you wanna say it is a GOOD story, you are lying.
