- I honestly wish I could say that, but I can’t. The majority of stories that are on Episode are cliché stories. I believe that authors unknowingly create these kinds of stories because clichès stick with you after reading a story, and it’s very likely that they didn’t know that they were doing a replica of another story they read in the past.
- However, I think that most of the authors notice that clichè stories get more reads so they decide to do a story with similarities in the plot. When they’re asked, they say that they don’t consider it plagiarism or copying a highly popular story, they consider it inspiration. I think that there’s a huge difference between being inspired and just straight up copying an idea.
- Then again, there’s the authors that have no creativity and see clichès as story ideas that anyone can reuse (as the plots been reused hundreds of times).

- It was always like that. Clichè stories are unavoidable and they’re always in the trending section. Stories with clichè plots are usually the ones that get the most reads and recognition. Sadly, that’s the way it is and the main reason why it’s so hard to find original stories and plots.
- I believe that a great amount of people read clichè stories and that’s why they’re so popular. But a lot of people (including me) are looking for innovative and original plots. There’s more than enough clichè stories (not to mention Episode originals) for clichè story lovers to choose from, so why keep them piling up? I say it’s time for more original stories.
As @Annieways said, most of us forum users want to see more original stories but that’s not even 5% of people that read Episode stories. I think we’re too small to make a change. Yet.
