Classic stories feel more original than LL or ink stories. Idk man.
LL
I like this style the most. Itâs more diverse, and the animations and clothing are better than the ones before. Plus, dogs and horses!
Ink
This one is nice too, but compared to LL itâs a little lacking. The animations are more cartoonish but depending on the story it could make or break it.
Classic
I donât play stories with Classic style 
I just find the animations weird and bland. Plus thereâs this weird glitch with the shoes and it looks sloppy when theyâre turned around.

I downloaded episode in August last year (Yes newbie me 
) and I got used to LL stories.
But after I read a few stories, INK suddenly becomes my fav. Itâs interchangeable
Classic on the other hand, no offense but the animations give me the heebie-jeebies

I guess me and my friends are the only ones who think this, but i think their animations look so unreal-

My Opinions:
LL
Def my favorite style. You can make so many different types of people in LL that itâs hard to come across a character in a story that looks almost exactly like your MC. Athough, ngl, i really didnât like LL all that much when it first came out.
INK
It used to be my favorite style. The characters are cute and i love the cartoon-y vibe INK has
CLASSIC
Classic is absolutely terrifying to me 
If i was exposed to this art style as a little kid, itâd probably haunt my nightmares. But i think thatâs just because i first downloaded Episode when Classic was obsolete, so i wasnât used to it. The closet is hella cute tho.

I totally agree on classic. But also, I had episode when featured stories were still using it, and it was really off putting to me. (I was probably 11 or something at the time) The animations felt like⊠corpses walking around- LOL. And their design was really awkward in a way that made the app feel sketchy⊠Idk how to explain the extent to how creepy classic was to me as a kid. djhewijf- But it also didnât help that episode stories were a lot more âlenientâ with their guidelines, so even episode originals had loose boundaries. So with all that in consideration- to sum it up, classic is terrifying

Limelight
I like the animations and the amount of customization available (and still being added)
Ink
I like the styleâs simplicity and animation, it has some good outfits as well. If a story doesnât have customization, I tend to like it more in ink.
Classic
The animation feels weird and tense, does have a couple of good outfits that I want on limelight. It doesnât offer much customization either. The characters look too weird for my taste. Iâve never even finished an episode of a classic story.

I love LL 
And it gets updated.
INK
I have only read the Demi series in this style and used the mobile creator when it was a thing in this style. I didnât mind it then because it was all I knew. But when seeing the LI in those stories I noticed they all look the same and I canât read an INK story. I donât like it because they all look the same. Love the animations tho.
classic
Someone shoot me before I even think about reading that creepy weird style.

Limelight
This is my favorite especially because it gets constantly updated and has a lot more diverse characters compared to ink or classic
Ink
I think style is okay, has a pretty good wardrobe and I love some of the hairstyles, I wish some of them could be remade in limelight

INK is the best by far then LL is okay and Classic is a no go.

I have a very big problem with the INK/Classic style, I just canât.
Limelight is everything! Whether itâs clothing choices, body type, hairstyles, this style offers a lot of alternatives to get diverse characters. Also I prefer the way the characters appear in LL, itâs much more beautiful.
However, I find that some of the animations in INK are much more realistic than those in LL style. For example the latest dance and flirt animations in LL are soâŠweird 
But if i have to choose between those three, iâm def on the limelight team.

The first time I read a story in classic⊠I thought the whole style was a mistake!!! 
It wasnât until much later that I discovered that this was the original story style.

Formal thoughts since I see these all the time, but have never responded:
Long-ish
My preference is INK, then Classic, then Limelight. I started reading/writing stories in 2015 so I do have a bit of a soft spot for classic. I was searching for new stories the other day and was so shocked when one I clicked on was in Classic I almost cried, ngl. The outfits are cute and the characters, while limited, do have a decent range of expression (shoutout to whoever said the Classic males look like pedophiles though because they doooooo ). But after the great INK migration, I was sold. I started my first story in INK, fell in love, and swiftly abandoned the project for four years. INK has my favorite animations so far, very expressive with the right mix of cartoony and realistic (put some strings over cry_sob_loop w/ slow zoom on MC, and youâre practically golden for a funeral scene). I also like INKâs faceshapes, lips, and eyes. From what Iâve seen, I think LL has better noses and hair, though. I like the diversity LL has, but I donât think itâs really fair to compare the two on that regard. Also, the LL closet is chefâs kiss. I love designing fresh outfits, but I know the INK closet like the back of my hand at this point :â((
I wasnât active when Limelight came to town so maybe thatâs why it looks so uncanny valley to me. Thereâs something off about it; the characters are supposed to be more realistic, but theyâre so plastic/not emotive enough. To me, Limelight looks like an upgraded Classic instead of upgraded INK. I know I shouldnât be talking about a new style when LL still has so far to go, but I would actually really like to see something in between LL and INK, like the characters on the front page of the forums.
You got the shading, accessories, body mods, and diverse features without the ai airbrushed barbie effect. Like, where was this???
TLDRâ> 1. INK 2. Classic 3. Limelight
