I don’t mind if stories have choices or don’t. There are a lot of people who will read without choices but try to make it somewhat interactive for them. Some might call it mindless tapping if it doesn’t have choices but if you think about it, really it is just like a book. You don’t make choices for the character then. People might use the excuse of “But it is an interactive reading app, I want choices” while that might be the case I think it doesn’t matter since I have read many well written stories without choices. If you make use of other aspects of directing and story telling you will be fine without. Using filters, zooms etc and if your story is good people won’t care. Again there will always be an audience for your story. Some people don’t like choices at all, so you can appeal. Choices don’t matter to me unless they are timed, it puts pressure on me and I read to get rid of that pressure I am going through in my real life. Since I am indecisive a choices free story might actually be good for me and there will be others that are the same. Do what is best for you.
