There isn’t. That’s a completely nonsensical statement, no serious scholar of litearture/film/etc. would claim something of the sort. While there have been attempts to analyse the “basic” stories and narrative structures (Propp’s model of fairy tales, Greimas’ actantial model, Campbell’s well-known hero’s journey), they’re all far from universally applicable or satisfying.
It is baffling that you would step forward and suggest that manga is somehow better than Japanese literature. Even further baffling are the people upvoting this.
As I said, the opinions of people who have never read for entertainment.

If your only exposure to stories are TV shows and movies… yeah it’s gonna seem like there aren’t very many types of stories.
Thus begins the story of antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com overcoming the monster.

“Nuuuuh, the most diverse medium with the wildest stories doesn’t count!! I’ll poopy my pants if you count it”

You mean generic isekai #38487?
Light novels don’t count.
“Nuuuuu-uuuuuh! Light nobels dun count! I’m pooping my poopy pants!!!1!”
Righto, mate.
A story is not measured in quality by the amount of words it has, which it seems is all light novel readers ever seem to be able to talk about.

I already have 8 medias in mind that have a completely different narrative structure
