Iām not a huge fan of this personally, as I worry it will be abused (everything seems to be nowadays).
But Iām going to keep an open mind, and see what comes out of this! 
Hopefully this can bring more recognition to smaller authors through the process.

Oh and I have one last question. When I was reviewing the gem choice in my story, they showed 15 gems. I am a little bit confused because they say that under 10 000 reads, the gem choices will only cost 2 gems. I didnāt even publish my story yet so I have 0 reads on it!

How do we use gem choices? Will there be insrtuctions?

I read it like itās encouraged but not necessary.
Basically, I read it like you should try to āsellā the choice but whether or not you do is really up to you.
Why would a reader pay for a choice if they donāt have any idea what the outcome will be? I mean, shouldnāt they at least know that theyāll get some benefit/the outcome will be good? I donāt think youāll need to completely explain what the reader will get, but you could maybe at least allude to the fact that thereāll be some benefit that theyāll find out at a later date? Otherwise, why pay for the choice? At the very least, shouldnāt the reader have some idea of what theyāre going to get for their money?
As a reader, I would assume that the choice Iām paying money for is the best

Whoaaa, WOOHOOO!!! Awesome!!! This will be really helpful!! 
If I only decide to add one gem choice in each of my chapters does that mean all of them will be free? Will it still count towards my gem chapter reads?
Remember that this is an optional feature that authors can use if they choose too. Its not required for any story.

Only the first gem choice your reader encounters in the story will be free. Each choice after that will appear as a gem choice.

I really think this is a great idea! Itās very considerate of you (episode) to help other readers get into the payment program and just into episode altogether. Iām loving all of these new ideas you guys are coming up with!!

I get your point. Thatās completely true for choices which lead to one special scene. But Iād never pay for that. 
Iām wondering more, why should we use gems on worthless choices at all. 
Choices need to be important in my opinion. In my other story for example, I offer to reader to choose between stones. All stones have different powers, I canāt say choose that one which costs gems, because that stone will give you the best power. I canāt say that, because at that point character is taking the stone just because the stones are cute and at that point reader or character has no idea, that there will be any powers (based on stone) involved in story - later.
So that is what is confusing me.
But if the choice would be worthless- for example- choose red stone, because thatās your girlfriendās favorite color and it will open a special scene - in that case Iād be allowed to use gem.

A quick question I feel may be relevant. If an author updates their past chapter, and you previously chose a gem choice in that chapter, will your gems be refunded like passes? It would be a shame to spend x gems on something only for it to be forgotten with a chapter update.
