storyline

A storyline is the sequence of events that make up a story, whether it's a novel, movie, play, or even a video game. It's like following a roadmap through a narrative.

When people talk about a storyline, they usually mean how the plot unfolds from start to finish. Imagine you're watching a TV show and trying to guess what happens next – that's basically what a storyline is. It can include twists and turns, surprises and revelations, all working together to keep you engaged and interested.
