I respectfully disagree. Not every story has to be surprising to subvert expectations. Some stories can be predictable and still be good. At the end of the day , the only expectation a story needs is its loyalty and faithfullness to its narrative. There should be a pay off , like after everything the story must culminate. I personally don't have any expectations with this because even now I cannot expect how this will go down in the end. And that is indeed good , however , even if I am proven wrong or right , I will still like the story regardless because of its writing style and literature skills.
In my opinion , subverting expectations all the time is the wrong move , its alright sometimes when story ends in an expected way. If the expected way is satisfying or paying off to the characters in the story then the story is good.
