How can you not be original in character, story arc and plot?
I grant you that the vast majority of stories follow a pattern, because they are popular, but that doesn't preclude innovation.
Well you already conceded it--the "vast majority" of stories follow a pattern; the originality is either sprinkled in or it's an outlier, and in that case most people won't like it. There is nothing wrong with that, btw. Our brains are very ordered. We like basic routine with some "difference" sprinkled in.
