A friend told me to stop forcing fight scenes into my stories

I was writing this fanfic for Attack on Titan. Every chapter had a big action set piece. My buddy read through my first three drafts and said 'your characters are just stuntmen.' Hit me hard. Realized I was skipping all the quiet moments between fights. The conversations, the planning, the dumb jokes. Changed my whole approach after that. Now I write scenes where nothing explodes. Feels more real. Has anyone else gotten feedback that totally flipped how you write?
