-1 What is your preferred chapter length and story length?
no more than 15 minutes.
-2 How important are choices? Do you prefer it if the choices matter?
I like when a story has many choices, I don’t care if they matter or not. But I HATE point system… it’s forcing the reader to chose a specific choice for the sake of the story.
-3 What is your favorite kind of MC? (looking at personality and maybe even looks)
A funny one, or maybe a maniac, depends on the story
-4 What kind of MC do you absolutely hate?
An extremely stupid one. When the solution is way too obvious but the mc needs 10 chapters to find it (the solution). Or when the li has rxpe, cheat, hit, kiddnap, kill (in front of her), threat and generally being toxic around the mc but the mc keep being with the li bc she/he is in love…
-5 What is your favorite kind of LI? (looking at personality and maybe even looks)
A funny one that actually cares for the mc. Someone that is not arrogant and full of themselves.
-6 What kind of LI do you absolutely hate?
Bad boys, players and womanizers… generally li that is able to sleep with every female (has no standars)
-7 What kind of side characters are your favorite and do you want to see more often?
idk, with different personalitties I guess, characters that are actually important for the story.
-8 What kind of side characters do you hate?
Characters that just exist… characters that the plot would be the same even without them.
-9 Do you like to have the choice to play as a male or female, and the choice to date a male or female?
Yes, even if I am a girl I often chose to play as male.
-10 Favorite kind of stories? (Genre, anything special you saw in a story you wanna see more, highschool, college, mafia, business, etc.)
Fantasy, stories that are in a different dimmencion, or stories that are creepy mysterious. With unique plot for sure.
-11 How important is CC for you? Do you rather have limited, or none?
I don’t care about cc
-12 Do you like playing more like yourself, or as the character the author makes? (Like changing the name of the MC, CC, etc.)
I rarely customize
-13 Preferred amount of LI’s? And why?
I don’t care… 1 or 2 is the same for me, it also depends on the plot.
-14 What makes you read(/click on) a story?
The description.
-15 Biggest pet-peeves?
When the story is predictable… Also when it rolls way too slow and Plot holes
-16 Do you like art scenes?
Yes, if they are well made yes. If they look crappy no
-17 When you look at a story cover, does it matter to you whether it is edited, drawn, or maybe even a self-made picture? What kind of cover makes you click the fasted?
A unique cover. Usually, a cover that has a boy and a girl in love or back to back won’t interest me even if it looks amazing… litterally, 80% of the covers in episode are like this (a boy and a girl in love). An ugly cover, a cover that you can find on google, or a screenshot of the story won’t interest me too… if you don’t give much effort to the cover then I’ll guess that you didnt give much effort on the story too.
-19 Do you like to see self-made background characters or people’s characters that the author asked for on the forums (or other social media)?
I dont care… as long as all of the bg characters dont look like the portal already made ones i dont mind
-20 Do you more often read stories that came from contests (whether they won or not) or just stories that aren’t made for contests?
I read only the stories that sounds more interesting regardless if they are contest stories or not. The fairytale contest was the best one so far so I read many contest stories… yet the ldr contest is not “my type” so i read only the stories that my friends made for the contest.
-21 What do you think of the author’s notes?
What’s this?
-22 What do you think about authors putting themselves in stories? When does it get annoying? (For example, if they give themselves a big role, they just randomly show up, they use themselves as background characters, etc.)
I find it cringy when they make themselves as the mc… when they appear on the story randomly and start telling nonsence is the worst thing that an author can do to their story.
-24 How important is advanced directing for you?
8/10
-25 What gem choices do you really dislike in community stories?
All of them (except the support the author)
-27 Do you prefer stories with or without sound? Or do you rather have a made playlist by the author? (Music, sound effects, etc.)
If an author doesn’t add music I will take it as if they don’t really care about their story.
-28 Since most people’s pet-peeve is grammar/spelling/punctuation, how many mistakes can you tolerate before clicking off?
I suck at english, so I do not notice the grammar mistakes. For me, even if a story has the worst grammar ever, as long as I understand what the author is trying to say I won’t mind.
-29 Are there certain scenes you absolutely despise? (For example, a shower scene of just the MC singing to fill in some time)
oof, any part that is irrelevant to the plot.
-31 How fast do you prefer character development to go?
Depends on the story and the genre.
-32 When the author also writes a bit in another language, do you think it is annoying, nice, cool, or something else? And how much of the other language is too much since reading the reader’s messages can be very annoying sometimes?
I hate when this is happening.
-33 When reading a story, how annoying is it to you when there isn’t a lot of diversity?
I don’t care. If the plot is good I’ll read it with or without any diversity.
-34 When reading a story with diversity, but the more diverse characters are purely stereotypes and inaccurate, what do you do with the story you were reading?
If I see the typical gay guy or the mean girl wearing only pink and act femine af, the li taller than everyone else and wearing only black and the bff the black girl that the only thing she does is partying, I stop reading.
Later added question-35 Do you mind if the LI isn’t introduced right away? Does it matter to you if the story now really focuses on the LI?
I don’t know… if the story is thriller and the li is a stalker but mc doesn’t know it I won’t mind…
