In response to a story that I once wrote, someone asked me to make the following adjustments.

1. Make all characters act in the most logical way possible, no matter how emotional they are or how much or little they know about the situation.

2. The antagonist should never be as powerful or (heaven forbid) more powerful than the protagonist.

3. A protagonist is only interesting if they are good at 99% of the things that they do. You can add some weaknesses, say, if they're good at hacking computers, shooting, stealth and heavy weapons, you could always make them struggle at basket weaving or something...

Needless to say, I didn't take many of these advice notes on board... XD
