As it says in the title. How do you show to the readers that it's absolutely necessary that the protagonists succed? (If you're writing a story where this is the case.)
Harry Potter for example does this well in the beginning while Voldemort hasn't turned up yet, but doesn't really manage it when he does. (Because he has to seem weak so Harry can escape.) Some stories go the obviously easy way that the opponent wants to destroy the complete world but that won't be the case in my story.
There, the opponents are mainly like a terrorist group but at the moment they don't seem to be threatening enough.
For my story to work probably this should change however, not least because people in powerful positions need to be motivated to agree to things they usually wouldn't agree to.
So, got any tipps? How are you doing it if you do it?
