- High Stakes: Life, death, or severe societal collapse.
- Pacing: Short, punchy chapters. Escalating complications. No safe havens.
- The Antagonist: Must be hyper-competent and consistently one step ahead of the protagonist until the climax.
- Twists: Plot reversals must recontextualize previous events without cheating the reader.
