My opinion may differ. To me is neither long nor short haha. Here are the lengths.
1408 lines for 1st episode
1587 lines for 2nd episode
771 lines for 3rd episode
1039 lines for 4th episode
2023 lines for the 5th episode
Lol, I donāt need the lengths, just time, since there could be lots of branching in there that takes up many lines. Idk, I canāt determine your story from your lines because I donāt know if it was all just dialogue with very few choices 
When you played your story, roughly how long did the episode last when you timed it?

I could recommend my own story : ) give it a read if you want, the episodes are around 10 minutes, no more than that so it should be fine.
My story
My story: What If You Were Famous?
Description: Do you imagine how you life would be if you were famous? Would you have what it takes not to get hurt? CharacterCustomization, LoveInterestCustomization, LGBT&StraightOptions
Cover:
And if you need other story recommendations itād be.
- Love, Julien, by Sarah Kieser. A sweet, tragic, love story.
- The Infected, by Caitoriri. An apocaliptic fiction story.
- Dream And The Dreamer, by Nour D. Best directing Iāve ever seen.
- Oblivion, by Kylie. The shortest one.
No specific order, I find them very addictive and are my favorite short episode stories!

Itās not the minority really. Episodes data show that maximum readers prefer shorter episodes( they get more retention) only 5% of readers are on forums

Oh wow, thatās cool ^^
I thought most readers preferred average length episodes but I guess not XD
Sometimes, I see readers complain about episodes being too short
Oh man, when did Episode post these data? I missed out on seeing them

It was in the old forums I guess. Also featured writers such as Langdon have shared this fact.
Iāll wait until Episode publishes stats on this or makes polls on it to show the Episode length majority of readers who voted prefer Hmm, this is my first time hearing of this
I hope I can see the data soon 
Iāve heard this, but only ever as a rumourā¦ and not that people prefer it, just that because theyāre short episodes, it helps with reader retention because people finish it quicker and want to find out what happens next, so they can - and will - binge read itā¦ This part seems likely to me, because I cannot tell you how many episodes I start, then I get interrupted and then when I come back I completely forget that I never finished the episode until the author updates again and then I realise I was still in the middle of one. LOL

Yeah, I think that if episodes are short, it will be helpful for reader retention, too, but was confused about the preference part

If you look through fanmails, short episodes are definitely not popular
