While it is possible to hamfist several narratives to growing tension and resolution, we know of the existence of Jo-ha-kyū and Scandanavian storytelling structure (in which multiple characters are presented with a 'red thread', often in the form of a common mythology, tying them together) among several several others.
This notion was critiqued decades ago, as in Ursula Le Guin's Carrier Bag Theory Of Fiction [0] which itself references even earlier work that critiques this idea of a universal structure of tension/climax/resolution.
