prologues
I wrote one for my 1st novel attempt 2 decades ago. I have none in any books since.
If well-crafted, they add an intriguing twist & heighten tension.
I dislike when they tease false tension, mast a weak 1st chapter, or act as backstory &/or worldbuilding info dumps. I put those books down.
Opening a book, I want the promise of a well-crafted story. For me, that starts with a hook, the MC, story questions, tension, etc..
