The main plot follows the MC while travelling through the world trying to rescue his family. While doing this however, he must overcome a lot of difficulties. These are subplots focused on other characters' issues and relations, but involving the MC and his companions. My problem is, as I'm writing them, I realize that the subplots are actually more interesting than the main one. And I feel like the readers might not care at all about the MC's family and his rescue mission. So, is it fine for the story as a whole if I let this happen, or should I change this somehow? **Should the main plot always stand out above the subplots?** I didn't find any question or source talking about this specific problem, so any links are appreciated.
