Was it the author's thoughts that led the development of the story, or was it the characters in the story that led the development of the story?

It was said that the story in a novel had to conform to the objective laws of things and could not be forced by the author's subjective consciousness.
But I don't think this view is very correct, because the world is too big and too wonderful. We can't predict what will happen next, just like we can't predict what we write. In the real world, the future development and results are unpredictable, but what about what we write? After all, it was written by you. You had to arrange everything. Otherwise, the ink wouldn't have existed at all. No one could truly reflect the real world in the things they wrote.
Therefore, I believe that no matter whose work it is, whoever wrote it can't help but be extreme.
We just have to learn to be relatively objective and justify ourselves
P.S. Am I right? Why? Please advise me!
The friend on the second floor said that it is a combination of subjective and objective. Can you be more specific?

Answer 1

In the process of writing a novel, the author's thoughts usually have a profound impact on the development of the story, but the characters in the story also affect the development of the story. The author can guide the development of the story through the behavior, decision-making and inner feelings of the characters. The characters 'personalities, experiences, goals and other factors will also affect the plot and ending of the story. Therefore, in the creation of a novel, the author and the idea complement each other, and the characters are the core of the story development.
