True originality will be so different that barely anyone will like it.
Evolution is the way to go.
I'm an aspiring writer and when a random internet person comments on my short stories, they're focused on "oh it is like X Y" "oh it is like Z movie"
They're obsessed with finding which story it relates to rather than enjoying the story (and it isn't like I'm a pathetic writer)
I'm not saying I'm the best writers ever, but why I don't like such morons is that they don't have any otger constructive criticism like "your character sucked ass" or "dogs don't fall in love with cows"
No. Their entire problem is "oh I saw a movie like this and that's why this is a shitty story"
These morons fail to realise that LoTR derives heavily from Mythology, GoT is literally a fiction version of War of Roses
But these snobs will love and swear by LoTR because "that's original" and other books are "copy cats"
The idea doesn't matter, execution does.
Sure Gone Girl came first but girl on the train is also a good book. It isn't "copy cat" just because it has a untrustworthy narrator. Gone girl wasn't the first one to have untrustworthy narrator, I think
