There isn't. That's a completely nonsensical statement, no serious scholar of litearture/film/etc. would claim something of the sort. While there have been attempts to analyse the "basic" stories and narrative structures (Propp's model of fairy tales, Greimas' actantial model, Campbell's well-known hero's journey), they're all far from universally applicable or satisfying.
This, to me, sounds like the opinion of someone who doesn't read for entertainment. No, manga does not count.
If your only exposure to stories are TV shows and movies... yeah it's gonna seem like there aren't very many types of stories.
Thus begins the story of [email protected] overcoming the monster.
and then it will turn out the monster was inside me all along
