Materi: Menggali Konflik dalam Cerita

Notulen: Anaya
Pernah gak sih kalian merasa jalan cerita kalian terkesan monoton? Atau udah buat cerita tapi melenceng dari bayangan?
Atau bahkan lebih parah melenceng sekali dari outline yang udah dibuat?
Kalian pasti pernah juga habis baca atau nonton cerita yang keren banget terus kalian terinspirasi dari cerita itu
Duh rasanya pengen banget gitu ya bisa bikin cerita keren kayak gitu
Jadi ujung-ujungya dari cerita yang udah dibuat bukannya sesuai outline malah pas dibaca ulang terkesan jadi agak mirip dengan cerita yang kalian sukai itu.
Tapi setelah berulang kali, mulai muncul suara-suara negatif dalam diri kalian, "Rasanya susah deh bikin cerita sehebat itu."
Sampe mungkin beberapa dari kalian mikir
Alur cerita berantakan, terlalu mainstream, atau bahkan terlalu banyak ide baru yang muncul sampe bingung sendiri mau nyelesain yang mana dulu.
Tapi pernah gak sih terlintas dalam pikiran kalian kalau semua hal negatif yang muncul di pikiran kalian sumber masalahnya hanya satu.
Konflik tidak digali dengan baik
Mau dikasih tau triknya gak?
1. biarkan tokohmu jadi manja
Nah maksudnya apa? Manja apaan? Ga jelas banget! Maksudnya gini.
biarkan tokohmu dengan mudah nyelesain konfliknya sendiri. Buat konflik itu semakin memuncak. Ada juga trik jitu biar cerita gak ngebosenin
Konflik-tenang-konflik 2-tenang-konflik 3-tenang, dst.
Makin mendekati akhir makin persulit tokohnya
Sadar ga sih? Semakin kalian buat tokoh kalian menderita semakin tinggi rasa simpati pembaca terhadap tokoh kalian
Memang mungkin pembaca bakal kesel sama kalian
Tapi secara ga sadar bikin pembaca tambah gregetan sendiri
Ngerasain ga?
Apa cuma aku aja?
2. plot twist
Pasti udah tau sendiri kan buat apa? Biar cerita kalian jadi tidak mudah ketebak. Ngeselin tuh kan. Ngarep endingnya tokoh utama bersatu eh taunya ada yang misahin. Padahal udah cinta banget sama tokohnya.
Aku kasih contoh aja ya
Kali ini pake cerita punyaku, genrenya fantasy, drama, action

(1) Taehyung di sini diceritain punya dua sisi kepribadian. Sejak dia umur lima tahun, dia sudah diganggu oleh wujud iblis. Karena itulah dia jadi dijauhi oleh sahabatnya termasuk keluarganya.
(2) Mingyu yang awalnya sebenarnya sahabat Taehyung ternyata berkhianat dengan membocorkan kepada semua orang kalau Taehyung itu sebenarnya bukan manusia normal.
(3) Karena itu, sifat Taehyung yang awalnya penyabar dan ramah berubah jadi pendiam dan mudah marah terhadap masalah sekecil apa pun.
(4) Taehyung bertemu dengan seseorang yang ternyata bisa mengendalikan wujud iblis yang selalu mengganggu kehidupannya. Orang itu ternyata sahabat dari orang yang telah mengkhianatinya, Mingyu.
(5) Namun ternyata orang itu juga yang menjadi penyebab mimpi buruk Taehyung selama ini.
Dari poin 1 - 5 sudah kelihatan kalau dari awal cerita konflik sudah terbentuk.
Tujuan utama Taehyung dalam hidup hanya satu.
Hidup selayaknya manusia normal. Hanya itu.
Tapi banyak halangan dari pihak luar yang malah terjadi. Kayak kasus Mingyu. Sahabat yang awalnya Taehyung percayai ternyata berkhianat. Anggapan Taehyung salah besar terhadapnya.
Orang yang paling dia percayailah yang justru paling membuatnya kecewa
Coba dari setiap konflik yang terjadi pertanyakan lagi pada tokohmu
Misalkan begini:
Q : Kenapa sifat Taehyung jadi berubah?
A : Karena setiap orang yang Taehyung percayai, termasuk Mingyu adalah orang yang bermuka dua
Nyesek kan?
Q : Kenapa Mingyu berkhianat dan kenapa setiap orang justru jadi munafik terhadapnya?
A : Karena mereka hanya ingin memanfaatkan Taehyung yang latar belakangnya dari keluarga kaya raya. Mingyu iri kepada Taehyung karena bisa mendapatkan semua yang dia inginkan tapi sulit untuk dia dapatkan.
Dengan membuat serentet pertanyaan kayak tadi, kamu pasti akan semakin mengenal tokoh dan ceritamu. Setiap konflik atau peristiwa yang terjadi diusahakan ada alasan kenapa itu bisa terjadi. Kenal atuh harusnya. Makin kenal pasti makin sayang . Makin tipis kemungkinan gak ngelanjutin cerita.
Karena kamunya sendiri ngerasa ga tega. Karena uda kelanjur nyaman. Melakukan plot twist juga tapi jangan keseringan. Lakukan dengan porsi yang pas. Layaknya meracik masakan, terlalu banyak garam justru membuat makanan terasa aneh atau terlalu asin.
Terlalu sedikit juga tidak bagus karena rasanya akan hambar, tidak ada 'sesuatu' yang membuatnya terasa istimewa.
Semoga materi yang dishare bermanfaat untuk para Fams yang membacanya.
Kami menerina saran dan kritik. Terima kasih 🙏

Don't Rush
Tanakashi Rito has always been viewed as a weak boy despite being well developed. The reason for this is because of the oppression of various females surrounding his life. "...You're so ugly! Stop staring at me with those disgusting eyes!" His female childhood friend said while sending a slap on his cheeks. "Kohi-san~ Always smelly as usual huh?" A female friend commented as he rides the train in peace. "Don't forget to not talk or look at me in school." His big-chested sister coldly reminded him as he prepares for school. And finally, his supposed 'girlfriend' whom he was forced onto. "I hope you just die in atleast a shitty way so i can make fun of your disgusting corpse on my friends." Under the constant verbal/physical abuse he receives, Rito contemplated for a moment before finally coming up with a statement that will possibly change his life. "I'll fight back." ——————————- [Disclaimer] : - This is a novel where the world revolves around MC due to the girls around him. This is also fast-paced story. - If you do not like that MC is a natural asshole and doesn't give two shits to those that doesn't like him and won't try to get some of the girls in the plot, this is not your cup of tea. - There are no rape nor NTR in this story. - A generic horsecock MC with little to no experience about building good relationships. A two-faced protagonist only to those who aren't close to him. - Cover photo isn't mine, found it on google. - There may be a couple of mispellings and some grammar errors, this is because i only use my phone to create chapters. I would love it if you can leave a comment pointing it out! ——————————- - You can also find this series on Scribblehub and Webnovels! ——————————- [declinedfizzies]

Nexitus: Neoteric Origins
Humanity is on the brink of extinction despite recent advances in artificial intelligence. Birthrates are on the decline and the population is on the brink of anarchy when a miracle seems to appear. An extraterrestrial company has been working with the governments for entry into a galaxy-spanning entertainment system. To upload our consciousness into a new body and begin anew in this wondrous seeming world. But is all on the up and up as it appears to be? This is a story about a married couple who aim to upload themselves to enjoy a new lease on life, have adventures, and maybe find something they shouldn't have. Join Susan and Phil on their journey into a brand new world where their relationship and adventuring are more then what they thought it would be. Authors Note: Found out I shouldn't be using content warning tags until the story has them so I did remove them but it will likely contain sexual content, profanity, gore, and traumatizing content in the future.

I Am Not A Humanity's Traitor (Isekai LitRPG)
Ren is a reincarnated person. His new world had the same name as his old one, Earth. But that was the extent of the resemblances. Ren has a skill as well, or at least he was told he did, but he had no inkling of how to use it. He was disheartened at first but his goal wasn't the path to power, all he wanted from this world was to continue the peaceful life, but the world didn't even provide him with that. A luminous pillar descended upon him and one of his classmates. Goddess Helastia, one of the most revered goddess, called them to herself, probably not a good news. However, there, he finds that a group of heroes has been summoned from his past world to confront the Devils that will be rising soon. But contrary to his assumption of being a hero himself, she referred to him as a reincarnated imposter. She labeled both of them as Humanity's Traitors and sends them into a dungeon where they were supposed to live. That is, with their masters and comrades, the Devils and their minions. The monsters in the dungeon were not likely to accept them as allies, instead, they were out to devour the delicacies that appeared in their home. Only despair awaited them. ---------------------------------------------------------- This novel is inspired from Neets's parallel world syndrome, Abnormal state skill and bunch of other jp novels, this is also my first time writing a web novel. Also English isn't my native language, so, sorry in advance. The pic in the cover is taken from pixabay and edited by me.
