@Ellie commenting on what's happening in the story in a matter of fact way =/= creating drama 

stories are made to envoke emotions in the readers. The author can try to guide the audience into feeling certain emotions, but at the end of the day, it's up the the reader and their own lived experiences. This academic theory is called / based on the 1967critical essay "The death of the author" 

Also, whether you meant it or not: "silly little story" in this context is an insult to authors, readers, and the craft as it's dismissing the emotional pull of story telling.
Context differentiation example: "I'm writing my silly little romance story" (positive), and "ya'll are so dramatic over a silly little story" (negative)
