-favorite character dies

IT ACTUALLY HURTS

-the villain is very likable, but the good guy kills them

-the narrator is the murderer and is not likable

-trauma causes the main character to not act as their usual self

-the good guy goes into depression and the bad guy feels sorry for them; the real villain is the internal conflict the good guy is having

IMPORTANT

-make the reader question their own sanity

-make meaningful deaths/murders

-you don't need plot twists to write a good book
