because no-one appears to have said it explicitly yes, this is the "Hero's Journey" but MORE IMPORTANTLY this is just one of MANY story structures.
It's just the one that Western European & American (continent not country) authors seem to prefer. I know it's not the default in East Asia (see Kishōtenketsu). I assume it's not the default in many other places. And if we set aside the major default ones there are still many other structures to choose from.

For instance in many great movies of French or Italian directors things start normal and monotonically get worse.
