I’ve seen some people discussing it as to add two genres for a story, but I personally think that this could be difficult to achieve as it may be difficult to trend (in which genre would you trend? What if you trend in a genre and you take the spot of someone whose story fits 100% the genre? In which shelf would your story go?)
So, here are a couple of ideas to create a more organized app, to help both readers and authors.
First create a general genre for all the stories and add a permanent hidden gem shelf to help smaller authors get noticed but also readers to find different type of stories. The hidden gem may change every week (as the trending section) and the stories can be chosen either by the Episode team itself or by the readers as we’re choosing them right now. It would look like this (excuse my bad photoshop skills, I’m lazy lol)
Then add subgenres to choose from within the bigger genres, this is just an idea, the genres could be different, for example:
SUSPENSE (bigger genre)
Crime (subgenre)
Mystery (subgenre)
Thriller (subgenre)
It would look like this:
Those are just ideas but in my opinion they could make the app more organized
