*Why you think someone would be interested in reading it in the first place? There are not much MCâs that are Asian, and the plot is kinda different from other stories. Also, not a lot of girl MCâs are athletes.
Alright, hereâs mine! Edited to add: My fav food is⌠coffee? Can that count?
Title: My Kalona Genre: Fantasy Chapter Stats: 9 published Expected Length: 15 chapters Link:http://episodeinteractive.com/s/4559018983227392 Description: Naomi desperately tries to bond with her estranged father, but becomes the prisoner of a Native-American curse that threatens all. Will her choices lead to freedom or failure? Notes:Chapter length will vary from chapter to chapter depending on your choices in the game (gain or loss of characters, hidden scenes, multiple paths etcâŚ)
Cover: N/A Big Cover: N/A Description: N/A Title: Satisfactory.
Backgrounds/Overlays: No missing/black screens. You did one mirror scene where there was an actual reflection and I was like The custom ones you uploaded to put at the end of the episode(s) were weird and funny (to me) Animations/Directing:Very. Good. Seriously, how do you people get so good at this?! Sound: Good where it is, bad where it isnât. Sometimes audio goes from music to no sound at all and it throws me off. But where it is, it works. Spelling and Punctuation: I donât see anything wrong. Dialogue Boxes: In the right spots. Nice color choice.
Progression of Time: Works.
Pros:
⢠My reaction to Zyro 50% of the time heâs on screen:
⢠Locked choices.
⢠Timed choices.
⢠Okay. Just the choices in general. They make the dialogue lean.
⢠Punching a pedo
⢠Episode Hair Dye
⢠INK characters (miraculously) donât look like the same person
⢠Episodes have a good length and end on a note that makes you want to click to the next one
⢠Use of readerMessage
â˘
Cons:
⢠Some people really hate timed/locked choices, which may turn them off from the story I, however, find them compelling; and, they keep me focused on the story. Like I canât just walk away to watch something on TV and come back 30 minutes later wondering what I was doing.
⢠Bro, Salma is gonna get punched too

[đ˝ <----- Itâs more about diversity within the characters. There arenât any cultures or ideas explored, but the characters really seem different from the other characters in the story. I can easily tell them apart and it seems like they could be real people. I like that.

TL;DR: I donât generally even consider clicking on gang/mafia related stories because⌠well⌠theyâre all related. On Episode, quite a lot of them are the same. This particular story, though, excites me. I canât say why for sure⌠but I like it. I donât feel like Iâm going to be bored while watching/reading it. And I love the humor.
Cover: Beautiful. Big Cover: Same as small cover. Still beautiful. Description: Good. Cliche by Episode standards, but good. Title:No. #ThanksRobinThicke
Backgrounds/Overlays: Good. Custom ones are also beautiful. Animations/Directing: Very good. Sound: Noice. Spelling and Punctuation: Perfect. Dialogue Boxes: Good.
Progression of Time: Makes sense.
Pros:
⢠Iâve never seen someone actually make the hair Harper has on work. Congrats!
⢠Jake was nice.
Cons:
⢠I walked into work literally in my underwear and no one said anything about it.
⢠I Donât Care About Quinnâ:clap: AT ALL . I donât know why, but I just donât. Also, I hate when characters get broken up with by someone I (read: the reader) doesnât even really know yet. The broken-up-with character always ends up looking whiny and nihilistic because we (the reader) havenât spent enough time with the characters in said broken-up-relationship to even know how we should feel.
⢠Uhhh Quinn assumes just because Aiden sleeps around heâs just automatically a bad guy and thatâs just Actually Quinn makes a lot of assumptions. About a lot of things. How old is she supposed to be?!
⢠This whole thing reminds me of The Bad Boy Stole My Bra
⢠Honestly, the whole story to me is just very pretty and thatâs it. Thereâs no substance. Nothing that makes me want to keep going.Itâs very Episode-ish.

Most (actually, all) of the feedback I have gotten on Stephen is that they feel he made the right choice breaking things off and they do not hate him. And I think people are right to feel that way. Given what information is available about him, he actually does care about Quinn. The whole point of the story hinges on a breakup, so it wouldnât make sense for me to drag it out.
Uhhh Quinn assumes just because Aiden sleeps around heâs just automatically a bad guy and thatâs just Actually Quinn makes a lot of assumptions. About a lot of things. How old is she supposed to be?!
Sheâs supposed to be 25. Sheâs not perfect and I think thatâs a good thing because her character will grow and develop over the course of the story. Did you actually read past episode 1? Because she learns very early on that Aiden isnât a bad person. Her primary assumptions towards him are not solely based on the fact that he sleeps with lots of women, but the magazine he writes for. Itâs a âmaximâ type magazine she perceives as being sexist (which she states.)
This whole thing reminds me of The Bad Boy Stole My Bra
I have never read it.
All of the characters are basically the same characters with different faces. In real life, I would be terrified by these robotic âpeopleâ. Unless⌠theyâre not people!!! Conspiracy theory?!
A lot of this is actually intentional. Especially with the models. They are all white and look the same, as I feel many of them do in the beauty industry.
Thanks for your opinion! Iâve gotten incredible feedback on this story so this doesnât deter me from continuing Everyone has their own taste!
Hi, Iâd love it if youâd like to read mine. Itâs pretty clichĂŠ lol but Iâm a sucker for it.
Title: Toxic love Genre: Romance (drama?? there hasnât been a lot of romance yet) Author name: Lesley Instagram: Lesley.episode
Oh and my favorite food is pizza, also clichĂŠ but itâs clichĂŠ for a reason right?? because everyone loves it x
I donât hate Stephen either. I think heâs actually one of the best characters
Itâs Quinn I donât care about, and I should because sheâs the main character.
The dialogue choices that you get with Aiden donât give me that vibe at all. It gives me either
a.) She doesnât like him but she doesnât want to outright say it or
b.) She actually hates him and she wants to outright say it
Girl⌠donât.
I didnât really mean their looks. I was mainly talking about her friendâs personalities were kind of all the same. Except the blonde one (Courtney?) who was just something all on her own
Just to be clear, I didnât want to deter you from writing. I actually think youâre a good author. I think the idea was good, but the execution just wasnât for me. I just really donât like romance, I guess.

She doesnât like him, I wasnât saying she does. I said her dislike doesnât just come from the fact he sleeps with a ton of women, it comes from the fact that he works for a magazine she feels is sexist. You do see glimpses of her warming up to him and beginning to realize sheâs misjudging him, though.
Girl⌠donât.
I know The Bad Boy Stole My Bra is a featured story, but it is actually not one that I have read yet. So
I just really donât like romance, I guess.
Youâre not the only one! Iâve gotten really good feedback from people who also donât like romance so I think it just comes down to taste in general.
But anyways, like I said, thanks for your opinion! Have a great day
Hey there.
I am curious what you might think about my story since I am open up to revamp a few parts if necessary
Well, I tried to make a story this is kinda non-cliche. You are playing a female and a male MC here and both of them are really sassy and a bit badass as well. The story is about cohesion, familyâs love and deep friendships. Itâs not like the typical featured episode stories you might see on the shelf. However, even when it starts with the introduction - I have my own way to do everything

My details: My Story: Author: May Laugh Title: Trouble Twins Instagram: maylaugh_episode Genre: Adventure Episodes: 8 (going on) Style: Ink Description:
Danger. Passion. Love.
Always standing up for each other through thick and thin, that is what these twins are all about. But can they really master every chaos together? Link: [http://episodeinteractive.com/s/5334870588784640 ]
Cover: Wonky. Big Cover: Less Wonky. Description: Verb tensing is terrible. But I still want to click? Title: Unique.
Backgrounds/Overlays: I hate them and I love them. Know what I mean? Like, they make no sense, but they make sense? My sentences must be confusing for someone whose third language is English Animations/Directing: Works. Sound: Makes me want to dance. Spelling and Punctuation: Not the best, not the worst. I can understand it just fine and honestly thatâs good enough for me. Dialogue Boxes: Seems legit.
Progression of Time: Decent? I mean, it works.
Pros:
⢠Very nice and warranted disclaimer
⢠The baby overlay
⢠The weird splashes of culture notes. Learning about other people in other places is fun.
⢠Little kids actually look like little kids
Cons:
⢠Grandma. She knows sheâs a woman, right?
Title : Take My Heart Episode Author : Jiya Genre : Romance Style : Ink Link : http://episodeinteractive.com/s/4602924031868928 Description : Shawn visits NY to get away from his childhood love. But what happens when he meets an ordinary girl? Will she help him unite with his love or show him what real love is? Cover :
Cover:Interesting⌠I like the V-Line you put on him Big Cover: reads: âCute but Psychoâ I donât know how to feel Description: Grammar is not great. But⌠a psycho going into a high school to catch a killer? Thatâs wild Title: I like long titles because Iâm weird but this one isnât properly capitalised and youâre missing an apostrophe. It is unique, though.
Backgrounds/Overlays: Animations/Directing: Wonky. Sometimes characters are turned the wrong way or they come on the screen for .05 seconds or when they hug theyâll both have the same animation so theyâre hugging nothing. But generally, the directing is okay. Sound: Works. Spelling and Punctuation: Bad. Worse. But I can read it, which is good. Iâm guessing your first language isnât English. Which is cool because English sucks. I mean, itâs cool. But like, it sucks? Know what I mean?
EDIT: I wrote that while reading the first episode, before you said you werenât native English
Also is âCherifâ supposed to be âSheriffâ or is Cherif his actual name? Dialogue Boxes: Decent.
Progression of Time: Works.
Pros:
⢠Ayden is wild
⢠You used a lot of spoken voice sounds, and they really had me rolling
⢠Ayden thinking about helping Lavera for 10 minutes straight after she falls
Cons:
⢠Ayden is wild
⢠Too much random high school drama. To be fair, most things that are happening are happening at a high school, but, the plot isnât about high school.
⢠You use the word âpsychoâ a lot, which really gives it less meaning (personally). Ayden doesnât seem psychotic, just slightly emotionally unstable. I feel like if he was he real psycho, HE would be the serial killer, you know?
⢠Okay, I know Ayden has a electronic ankle bracelet whatever on, but⌠why doesnât he just run through the pain? Iâm not entirely convinced he canât escape.

QUestioNS i HAVe 4 U:
⢠How old are these characters supposed to be?
⢠Why does Lavera care so much about a âpsychoâ getting let out of jail that she doesnât even know?
⢠What country is this supposed to take place in?
⢠Why is Cherif so sure Ayden can catch the killer? And why did he take TWO YEARS (or one, I forgot how much) OFF OF HIS SENTENCE?!
⢠Um⌠why does Aydenâs brother and sister act more like theyâre in a relationship than siblings?
TL;DR: Interesting concept⌠I have so many questions
