Hi!
I’m very new at writing here, and I was making the first episode. Took a lot of hours, of course. There’re a lot of choices of customization (like a non-binary MC, so, the body shape and all ), 5 LIs (male, female, NB), and more.
The thing is, I made all in Spotlight (I wanted to focus it in the plot. Has a lot of text, lol). But I saw that the format has very bad feedback on the forums. So, I’m thinking of changing it.
Do you people think I should change it? Honest opinion, I really want people to enjoy it!!

I think you should write your story as you planned it, I’m not a fan of cinematic but I can assure you that if your story is good people will like it anyway
I said to change it because while I don’t really mind which one an author uses a lot of people don’t really like spotlight. I think one of the reasons may be that in a way Episode stories are usually kind of unique from other writing platforms because they feel kind of like a tv series. When you use Spotlight instead of Cinematic it becomes more like other apps and that might throw some people off. At the end of the day it’s your story and you can do whatever you want with it.
I said to change it, even though I even have a story in spotlight, because a lot of people aren’t really fans of spotlight. You’re a new author and it’s hard enough to get reads as it is and while, obviously, I don’t think you should write for reads, I think it’ll be easier to attract readers if your story is in cinematic.
