Worst Part Start

Stories like Revenge Plot, Whodunits, and Undo The Damage.

Worst Part Start stories are where the most damaging part of the story (the "worst part") occurs at the beginning. The worst part in Worst Part Start stories is likely the Call To Action that gets the Hero and the rest of the good guys going on their adventure. Even though a story may start with the worst part being at the beginning, there's nothing stopping a sequel from making an event more damaging than the worst part of its predecessor. Obviously, the opposite of a Worst Part Start story is a Worst Part End story.
