Why should people read it?:
- Ever feel like you wish to watch a movie while reading episode?
- Craving for very unique and creative ideas, original and complex written plots and a lot of diverse yet realistic characters as well as stories that tackle numerous real life issues in a tactful and respectful manner?
- The World Wars
- Human rights and women rights
- Leadership; People in positions of power; what’s wrong and right with them.
- Minorities, Slavery, Caste system
- Disabled people and how to empower them?
- Social discrimination, prejudice and stereotypes and how to overcome them?
- Want an intellectually stimulating and thought provoking story on an Episode platform?
- Want to read from multiple point of views that’s just not from your CC MC to gain a broader perspective of the story? Don’t want your CC character to always be the center of attention? Want your CC character to have flaws and make mistakes?
- Always reading about white chicks(cause ppl always end up white washing them) in school with all the bad boys, mean girls etc etc and always in a school setting? Sick of it? Sick of these tropes and most of Episode featured stories? Want something different? Really different?
- Ever wish to read a story on Asians…mainly ancient Asians, minorities on episode and more precisely Asian stories written by an Asian author as well? Want a story that has parallels to real life and provides life lessons that we can all learn from irregardless of age and background? (Also wished this was on Asian Voices…hhhh maybe one day.)
- Do you love nature, animals and the natural environment?
- Do you love Avatar: The Last Airbender, Game of Thrones (Danaerys, Lyanna Mormont), Narnia, Asian horror stories…well they say Asians provide the best horror stories. Well, you’re in luck because this story takes inspiration from all of these and based on my own experiences being a Malay Singaporean too!

Cover (With symbolic meanings of the cover inside the story too)
Cover Meanings
1. No characters as they are a surprise and to retain the mystery of the story. It ruins the surprise if I put any on the cover. How often can you find covers without characters on them? Hehe.
2. My cover is a tribal style of The Sun and The Moon with tribal font words along with Light vs Darkness background.
3. The letters in the light sunny background are black because of contrast and also to insinuate the idea of darkness within light.
The letters in the dark night background are white to insinuate light within the darkness.
They are also equal proportion in numbers and distance from each other to signify the battle between good and evil. MALAP has 5 letters. INCHI has 5 letters too. So equal proportions of light and dark.
4. Cause not all light things are good and not all dark things are bad. Don't judge a book by its cover.
5. It's in the skies thus the stars and clouds along with the light beam.
The sun is on the light side while the moon is on the night side like reflections of each other. Scientifically speaking, the moon's light is the light of the sun.
Celestial objects overlap into the next background to symbolize reality. The moon can be seen in the day but usually, in the morning we only see the sun.
The moon also envelopes the sun to symbolize that within Darkness, there is light. In humans, good and bad exist.
6. The blur lines in between signify Dusk where night time is coming. We can't really tell when that happens or the accurate timing thus the significance of the blurred lines.
7. The light sunny background is slightly more than the dark background.
Light about 60% (3/4) and dark 40% (1/4) of the background colours to signify that light and goodness will always have an edge to eventually triumph over evil.
8. Light is on the left side while the night is on the right side. The left usually symbolises bad and right usually symbolizes good. Not for this story. Illusions vs Reality.
The Light beam on the light sun is also to symbolize that Light brings hope to the world.
Like the Light of Malapinchi.

Some Reviews on the Tribe of Malapinchi story
- By @LiliStar
Wow, the storyline is A-MA-ZING! I’ve never seen a story like this. It is so unique and interesting. It never gets boring.
I got into the story at the very beginning, and oh my God, it just got better and better! And you’re killing me with the cliffhangers 
The backstories, the dreams of the MC, all of the interesting information… Wow 
There is also some paranormal stuff in it and I’m obsessed with paranormal stuff so this is perfect for me 
The characters are amazing. All three Episode styles are in the story, like HOW?! I was shocked
I love it that the Classic style people are monsters The style looks scary though.
You did such an amazing job on making the characters!
I just CAN’T get over your (spot) directing and editing. It is literal perfection
I apologize for being so enthusiastic, but I’m just in love with your story Please say that you’re gonna make more chapters!
And how the heck do you have only 1.4k reads?!?! THIS talent deserves millions of reads!
And then some cliche stories are in the top and have millions of reads 
FANTASTIC job, girl 
Plot: I found this plot super captivating. There were lots of twists. I really don’t have anything to add because it was really good. It’s a really underrated story. You seem to have a lot of experience. 10/10
Characters: The characters were really well developed. I do wish that I could have met more Malapinchians. 9.5

ITS SO GOOD
- By @AMagic
That story, it had advanced directing, it was so juicy such a thriller it was amazing. Your story is outstanding, I am in love with that story. Don’t change one thing.
- By @FionaA
From what i have read, I can tell that your story is well thought out. I love the diversity: the different languages used and different cultures and traditions: I think this isn’t something that is seen on episode much. Your directing is amazing!! I really like the overlay use and the disclaimers at the beginning as well as the support for deaf people. The cover is great and I love the story behind it. I do however think that the information load can be a lot but, I can understand that the reader has to understand the meanings behind things. All in all great! 
Your story was unique! I loved the diversity the myst. The dead language. Mixed races. Unknown meanings left for us to think. And that texting overlay is AWESOME (tappable overlays) By the way, Jindara means “Warmth” 
But Anyways your story is BOMB!
Some Fanmails on the Story (Thanks for the fan mails!)
- The level of coding, the amazing plot and the impressive knowledge behind it are just something out of this world! I still don’t understand how such a wonderful story doesn’t have way more views.
- One of the best stories i have come across till now. The details, story, directing all was 10/10 i am very emotional at the moment cz i feel thr mc as her thoughts match mine. violence, war, ego,pain has destroyed the world. Thank you for writing such an amazimg story. <3
- Love your directing! Intro blew me away
- i dont normally like stories of this genre but you really pulled me in! great work so far!
- Why did it take me until chapter 4 to realize you were using INK & LL? xD right before they went to the forbidden island I was like “Oh whoa hold up what now?!” xD

I don’t remember what’s the reason, but I feel honoured. I remember having your stories in my favourites, but I haven’t read an Episode story in a pretty long time. 
I can do more than 4 episodes if you like 
how’s the remaining 2 chapters coming along? 
As for the actual story, I’m guessing it’ll be around 20 chapters or so? I could be a little off, though.
