It could be that the person believes that focusing on origins is no longer relevant in the current context. For example, in a fast - paced, modern world, people may be more interested in immediate actions and future implications rather than delving into the past. Also, some might think that origin stories have been overused and over - commercialized, so it's time to move on to something else.
They might be bored of the typical origin story format. For instance, a lot of movies and books follow the same pattern of introducing a character, showing their ordinary life, then a big event that changes them and gives them their purpose. It gets repetitive.
Maybe they want to attract new audiences who are tired of the same old origin tales.
Some people may say this because they have become more interested in other forms of media. Visual novels require a certain level of time investment to read through the text and make choices, and if someone has a busier schedule now, they might prefer something quicker like a short - form podcast or a mobile game that doesn't demand as much time and concentration. Additionally, the art style in some visual novels might not appeal to them anymore, or they could have outgrown the often - targeted younger - audience themes in many visual novels.
They might be in a hurry and don't have time for long - winded personal tales.
Maybe they love the movie so much that they want to hear again whatever was said about it. For instance, if it was a trivia fact.
It could be that they want to focus on more positive or different topics. High school stories can sometimes be negative or full of drama, and they might prefer to talk about other things like travels, new hobbies, or current events instead.
There could be several reasons. One, they might be a huge fan of horror or the supernatural genre. They find the idea of ghosts, spirits, and the otherworldly much more interesting than something as common as toast. Two, it could be a form of humor. By contrasting the spooky and the mundane so sharply, it creates a comical effect. And three, it might be a way to engage others in a more exciting conversation. Ghost stories often lead to discussions about different beliefs, superstitions, and experiences, while toast stories are likely to be short and uneventful.
There could be several reasons. Firstly, if a person has been consuming a lot of fictional stories and wants a change of pace, they might say 'watch not a story'. They could be looking for something more grounded in reality, like a true - crime documentary. Secondly, they might be interested in learning new things. Non - story - based content such as educational videos or lectures can provide useful information. Lastly, some people might find non - story - based content more relaxing as they don't have to follow a complex plot or remember characters' backstories.
Someone might say 'tells no story' when they are looking for a deeper meaning or connection in something but don't find it. For instance, in a movie that has a lot of action scenes but no real character development or overarching plot, a viewer could say it tells no story.
To avoid misinterpretation. If the plot has some elements that could be misconstrued as ghost - related, they clarify it in advance.
Someone might say 'no reading fanfic' because they are focused on the original source material. Fanfic can deviate a lot from the original, and they might not want to risk getting a distorted view of the story they love. Also, they could be concerned about the legality or ethics of some fanfic, especially if it seems to be misusing the original work's concepts.
