It is not correct. D&D works just fine as a narrative game, but it's not a particularly Narrativist one--which is OK with me, as I haven't read or played a Narrativist game that I'd want to play (or play again). It comes across to me as a game that was written with the idea that the DM would be either running a published adventure (and all the published adventures--even that one you love that's a riff on a classic--suck) or running a long adventure they'd written themselves (and GMs who write their own long adventures often end up exhibiting Pygmalion Syndrome).Sounds like your main problem is that 5e isn't enough of a narrative game for your tastes, is that correct.
