Answer 2

Answer: you have to make sure that the reader cares enough about these characters.

In order for a story to be successful and popular, the reader has to care about the characters that are present in the narrative. When a reader cares about these characters, he becomes invested in the story, and is more likely to read it all the way to the end. However, if he is not interested in the characters, he is more likely to think of the story as trivial and to have little motivation to finish the book.
