I disagree lol. I've read, and enjoyed, too many epics which barely had an end to agree (I mean....the Aeneid does not end. it doesn't end, there is literally not a single bit of payoff in the manner an ending implies) (The iliad doesn't really have a middle, and I'm questionable on the beginning) (lbr the oddyssy assumes you've read the iliad, it doesn't have a beginning in the narrative sense so much as a preface). And that's because the people who enjoy reading them enjoy the conventions of genre, (which for epics is short stories thinly tied together with a string I'm not even sure I could consider narrative, full of cultural assumptions, and whose authors don't really exist or tried to burn their unfinished work in their will). Not all genre conventions require your structure. Fanfic does much less so because some of the structure is done for you in certain types of fic.

then of course there's the cultural understanding of narrative structure we're dealing with. if most of what you read trains you for a certain payoff with narrative signposts, that's going to be more decent to you then structures without that through-line.
