Q&A
15-20 minutes
It doesn’t matter, it’ll read it either way. Although I love challenges and choices that matter provide me that
I absolutely love a MC who has a sense of humor, by that I mean sarcasm very quick-witted, smart and funny. Also confident and stands her ground. I love the social butterfly kind of MC who can socialize without having to worry about what she just said. I also don’t mind a shy and introverted MC but she shouldn’t magically grow a back bone the 2nd chapter you know…if this was realistic it would take time for character development. As for looks it doesn’t matter, I personally love Full CC, but if Limited or None at all of customization is required in order to understand the story plot, then I would understand.
Hmm…Well maybe the extremely shy MC who can’t get one word out? Oh wait! I hate MC’s who let people walk ALL over them, especially if its a bully or the bad-boy LI…its really frustrating in my opinion. That’s it…
I read way too many bad-boy LI stories, or the LI who screws up and doesn’t take anything seriously. So in contrast, I want to see more shyer LI’s, more confident ones but aren’t cocky, protective but not clingy, not a total d head either. Just an overlay nice person. I’m so hungry for a LI who’s at least NICE in the BEGINNING! And for looks, same thing I responded at the end of Q3.
Well I pretty much said it in Q5…I don’t like the total knock-off LI’s, cocky, clingy, the “cheaters”, the d bags–kind.
*I like the side characters that are supportive…I’m talking MC’s best friend here. The side characters that you can count on…the one’s who the MC can call late at night to gossip on what she bought at the mall that day…stuff like that. I really want to see side characters who are opposite genders, but DON’T have crushes or a crush on each other. It’s actually really common for a straight male and straight female to be very close without having a romantic relationship, so why don’t I see it more?
One word. Stereotypes. (The best friend is a POC and isn’t straight for both female and male etc.)
I like having these.
I read everything (genre wise) except for specific fantasy such as vampires, werwolves, witches and more. I just find it really boring no matter the story…I wouldn’t say I want to see something specifically “more of” in stories because authors are getting more and more creative from what I’ve been keeping up with but I could suggest changing up the classic cliche stories? Let’s start being original people! My favorite genre specifically is Hollywood and fantasy with a little romance, but mainly Hollywood so I wanna see more business? More entrepreneurship!
That’s up to the author. If it’s extremely important for the author to keep it limited or none at all, like for art scenes and overlays, then so be it, I won’t complain. But my personal preference it full cc.
This I honestly don’t care about. Choose my name or I’ll chose it, not that big of a deal to me.
I like having AT LEAST one LI and build a “relationship” with him/her. But max is 3, because my attachment to some LI’s puts a lot of pressure on me to “Make my final decision”.
Well I know this is a messed up thing, but like most people a eye-catching cover mostly does this trick…In my eyes it appears that the author actually took it seriously to possibly spend money on a story and that speaks volumes in my book. After that would obviously be the title and the description.
Bad dialogue, bad directing, story plot makes no sense, characters interactions with other characters makes no sense, unnecessary gem choices that lead to absolutely nothing in the story of doesn’t help me reach my goal for my ending, and finally gem choices that are just bluntly too expensive. (I’ve read a story where the authors gem choice was “Support me for 25 gems”. That’s absolutely ridiculous…5-15 seems alright depending on how good the story is but 25?? H_ll no.
YESS!! I don’t understand why some people don’t 
But if a story doesn’t then no worries. A story does go into depth more if there are art scenes, plus it gives it more of a realistic vibe to what’s actually happening in that scene.
…I hate admitting to this, but yes :// – I usually don’t read stories that include edited covers because it’s something that seems put together with just a few editing apps and isn’t very time consuming…This correlates with the cover question because I know for some people they do work hard on edited covers, but if I’m completely honest, if I saw a cover of a girl with a sword that was edited and side-by-side the same girl with the sword on another cover but as cartoonish/realistic/semi-realistic…I’d click on the 2nd one and not look back.
I like authors that question the reader to find out what actually happens because it would leave me wondering what their talking about, if their vague about it then that’s even better too.
Doesn’t matter, I know side and background characters still take a lot of time to make and customize, so this isn’t a problem either way.
Like I answered before, I’ll read anything…In fact I’ve read a few contest stories without even knowing it 
I actually like them. I know some find them annoying but I like the little interactions the authors have with the readers, it’s actually quite innovative imo.
This corresponded to my response for Q21, I think it’s innovative. Make yourself a background character, make yourself the MC’s best friend, the teacher, the dog! I love it! I don’t think it could ever get annoying for me
Maybe 8/10. No more need to be said. Proper setting=proper clothing attire. Get it right
On a scale from 1-10, I’d say 9.5/10. BUT only if its advanced directing. If the story has basic directing, no biggy…as long as the story makes up for it…
I honestly don’t mind any except the one’s where you have to pay in order to see another ending.(not bonus scenes or supporting the author)
I love gem choices that offer bonus scenes, the “what happened when the MC wasn’t in the room scenes”, the supporting the author scenes, extra mid-scene scenes that could potentially effect your ending (go on and date to find out the secret code or stay at home and watch a movie and hope for him to spill<<those kind.) and the gaining more ___ points to effect your ending.
I love sounds in a story. I will always turn my volume up if a story includes them, especially thriller and horror ones (they emphasis on the “spookier” scenes with the horror_reveal kinds of sounds&music)
1-3 chapters, and I’m out.
I’ve never thought about it…so no as of right now. But if you mean too intimate, too descriptive of scenes for like mystery scenes (death scenes) or romance sexual scenes, then that would be mine.
Anything other then what I said in Q29.
As slow as possible, I want at least SOME realistic development in stories.
I think it’s very cool and I end up learning a bit too, since I’m interested in learning other languages I find it fascinating. And maybe don’t speak too much of another language in dialogue because a reader message is roughly 2-4 seconds right–and your trying to read dialogue AND read the reader message, yes it can be overwhelming and I might get lost…
Aw I find it very annoying when authors don’t expand different races, ethnicities and sexualities. I feel like their excluding them 
Depends. If a story is good I’ll keep reading, despite the stereotypes that occur. But if its already a terrible story plot then I’ll click off without a doubt.
I actually prefer the LI gets introduced later on in the story. It makes more sense because I would like to get to know the LI before I want to make him look attractive and what not. Along with the MC. I like it when the scene starts off with a character having a conversation and the narration explaining a bit of info on the MC/LI, it just helps me narrow down about what I’m getting into with this story. And no, it doesn’t matter if the story then focuses on the LI.
That took so incredibly long, roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour . Props to everyone who did the q&a, BUT hopefully this helps you out?
