The title of this trope is confusing, since all stories with conflict by definition have an antagonist. The antagonist doesn't have to be a character, it can also be a force of nature, a flaw of the protagonist, societal expectations, or other such things as long as they go against the main character(s). This trope seems to be for cases like this where there is no antagonistic character, but these stories still have an antagonist, so "No Antagonist" is confusing. Thus, I think a rename to something like "No Antagonistic Character" or something similar would clear the confusion.

Very marginal TRS thread, IMO, considering that there is no evidence of under- or misuse. Declining. Also, we have plenty of other threads that need work done.
