This is something I've been noticing in the very small amount of stories I write.
I don't really know how to describe it....I often come up with these plots, concepts, and worlds that I find intriguing. I take a long amount of time trying to figure out a conflict, but when it comes to actually writing it down, I find the main thing that detracts from these stories are the characters. They seem....I don't know how to put it. They're under-developed, or they have weak personalities....I don't really know how to describe it. One person said that they're merely pawns of the plot, and I think that describes it perfectly. I often try to make use of a snarky third person narrator who never shuts up as a way to draw attention away from the characters, but I can't keep this up forever. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to break out of this?
