Step one;

Try attract all audiences.

Attracting all audiences gives youba wider audience to please; you do this by adding a bit of genres here and there where you can, and possibly easter eggs from other stories (youd need permission if it were to be broadcasted, but ok).

Step two;

Give flaws.

By 'flaws', i mean, for example:
Take Naruto. He's a great ninja and a hero - was he that at first? No. He couldn't even make a flesh and blood doppelganger of himself at first, this is a flaw in himself - if develops him more as a character, showing how far he's come. Like Fire Emblem, characters have a 'Bane' and a 'Boon'. Banes are a good feature about them that is helpful, Boon is a feature that is unhelpful and gets in the way. Example:
Bane: Clever/Cunning
Boon: Excitable

Step three;

Give romance.

Romance is, possibly, one of the biggest genres of movies, tv shows, books, etc. Attracting an audience so wide would be amazing, but in [INSERT STEPS] you'll see how you can do this.

Step four;

Make the reader clueless now and then!

Take No Game No Life - Shiro and Sora are instantly blasted into another world since they received an email and beat God in chess - Random, right? ...But by reading the next episodes, it'll all be explained!~

Step five;

Give disappointment.

Make your character sad or disappointed. Make them blame theirself for something. This makes your readers give empathy for this character, making them read on a cheer them on. Also, disappointment can mean.. lets take The Walking Dead now: Sophia was a young girl in the show, who was lost during a zombie horde. The gang held on to hoping she was alive, and a couple of weeks later after raiding a zombie-infested barn, out walked Sophia... as a zombie. This is a blow to viewers, and it makes them read on hoping for your characters' success.

Step six;

Give your characters mixed personalities.

Giving characters mixed personalities makes the story interesting. This can lead to problems, twists and turns, etc. This is good! It radiates drama.
