They may be in the trending section, but because they have low reads, they are never noticed.
The lower stories need a shelf of there own, one that stories can and will be noticed

Never is a strong word. They are noticed, hence being in the trending section. There are people who don’t care about the number of reads, you know. People like me.

I know that, but it’s still annoying.
I started a IG account to start getting authors with small reads noticed again.
I have 3 stories out
Mafia Star has 75 reads
This is me has 38 reads
The Jenkins has 44 reads
The Jenkins only has one full chapter out, yet it had the most reads for a while.
I don’t care about when the reads come I just want to be mentioned every once in a while, just like everybody does.
My IG page is hannahc.smallauthor, it’s an account that only shows authors with reads under 10k.

While your account wouldn’t be the first account that aims to help smaller authors, I do admire your desire to help.
Thing is, not everybody gets ‘mentioned’ like you said, and that’s something we all have to live with. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: just because you work hard, doesn’t mean your story is good.

I know that, that’s why I’m trying to help, because unless your doing a review on a story then I’m going to help as many young, small authors as I can because there could easily be an author out there who is amazing and will never get anywhere.
I’m doing my best and helping as many people as I go

Covers with male LI showing off their abs. I really don’t like them because half of them look off-putting and poorly drawn. I know that’s mean to say since I’m sure the artists who drew them put in a lot of work making them, but those type of covers turns me off. I just don’t like stories where the characters (MC, LI) are half naked on the cover tbh.

Thank you! Finally someone agrees! I really did like Adrenaline a lot because of the spot directing and story line but I got so annoyed about the cheating, sexual assault, wrong messages to readers.
Like it’s not okay to cheat on your partner, it’s not okay to have sex with someone knowing that they’re dating someone else, it’s not okay to go around and have sex with every member in the group. Like that’s disgusting and I don’t like the main character. That’s why I stopped reading that story.

I liked Adrenaline too due to the directing until it got too cliche.

Same. The mc has no sense of morality when it comes to others and comes off as rash and impulsive and it feels like there are no consequences. There’s one thing in owning your sexuality but there’s a line when it becomes too much if it hurts others in the process. Lol like Andre was NOT single when they started their little “romance” smh.

It pretty much forces you to date either Andre and Victoria at the start, even if they’re together. It FORCES the reader to make someone cheat on their partner, like… what?? Why???

The only reason why I do like reading it is because I do love that police officer and that guy’s relationship. They’re so cute together

Ugh ikr. It was so gross and I never even liked andre. It felt so icky honestly. And it says a lot about the fans of that story who think that’s okay and it sends out wrong messages. Not only did he physically cheat, he also emotionally cheated since the beginning and I consider that just as bad.

Finally someone said it! The app is so cringey, people just start expecting these stories and praise them. When I wrote my first story I didn’t know how to proof read it and it was bad. My character walked in front of the cell from template… ect. I had a panic attack and literally couldn’t sleep until it was fixed seeing how bad it was. I got fan mail saying they love my story. It was a monstrosity and people on episode have such low standards. My story’s about lesbians so GOD FORBID I leave out sex scenes. Every single one has a sex scene to draw in horny teenage boys. There’s no plot, just girls Makin out. I can’t tell you how much fanmail ive gotten BEGGING adorable sex scenes. People literally tried to help me, like I just didn’t know how. Gross. And not to mention it’s against the guidelines…

I. HATE. those stories with a passion. They all have the same plot, and the same cringeworthy, flat, and unrealistic characters.
AND DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THE GEM CHOICES. bAH!1!1
I hate them. They need to be deleted.
Sorry to those who I offended with this, but my outlook will never change until Episode learns how to put out quality stories.

Bless you for all of this. People would swing at me for hating Adrenaline, though tbh the cheating parts isn’t even as bothersome to me as the whitewashing and the treatment of POC.
