Oh I hear ya. I spent weeks writing extra material into the end of the Dragon of Icespire Peak because the challenge and adventure levels were weak as it was written. But I didn’t want to just add some random encounters with a few monsters. Instead, I added additional storyline and did my best to make it coherent so there was a reason the extra monsters and extra conflict was there. Gone are the days of just wandering from one cavern or room to another and having a random encounter behind each door. Why are the monsters there in the first place? What are their motives?It’s a great idea. I’m just revealing myself for the nut I am. I have spent too much time working on this stuff. For me to DM, the story has to make sense. I typically go too far in fleshing out story lines that the players might not even discover.
