I actually have 5 stories. You don’t have to read all of them, but any feedback on any of them would be great. I will list all of them on here.
I recommend tapping slowly on my stories because if you tap too fast it will mess up the movement/animation sometimes.
Note - I used the mobile creator on the app to make my stories so at the time I made most of my stories there was no ability to put choices in at the time. (The only one with choices is Star Power: Everything Changes)
My stories are…
No Longer An Average Teenager
Girls of Earth
It All Started With A Dream
Haunted: The Town Legend
Star Power: Everything Changes
Hey, I would love a review and to chat! My IG is @cordeliam.episode

Hey Winter! Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough passes to read three episodes, so I only read episodes one and two. If you would like, I can review episode 3 at a later time.
Here’s my review:
Creativity (8 out of 10)
The story is pretty creative, but not a lot has happened so far.
Storyline (12 out of 15)
From the first two episodes, I do not really understand what is going on. Try to establish the conflict from early on!
Directing (17 out of 20)
The directing is great, but it would be nice to see some more spot directing and zooms. Also, at the end of episode 2, the zoom does not reset.
Grammar mechanics (10 out of 10)
Well written!
Choices ( 15 out of 20)
I did not get to make a lot of choices, but I appreciated that the choices made an impact
Engaging/stays interesting (8 out of 10)
While this is hard to judge from the first two episodes, not a lot has happened yet.
Episode length (9 out of 10)
The episodes were good lengths! The second one dragged on a bit, but that is just a personal opinion!
Character customization (5 out of 5)
There was customization, but some of the options did not work. I’m sure it was simply a glitch, but check your script to make sure that the customization coding for Alex is working!
Overall, I think your story is great! I’m sorry if my review seemed too harsh! The only problem I had is I personally thought that the story was a little slow.

Hi! Here is my review for the first three episodes of “No Longer An Average Teenager”
Disclaimer: This review is meant to help you! Please do not take offense to it!
Creativity (10 out of 10)
the idea is very creative!
Storyline (13 out of 15)
even though the idea is good, it was not very well executed.
Directing (15 out of 20)
this may have been because you used mobile creator, but there was not a lot of spot directing, and when there was, it was messed up. I recommend checking the directing for the car scene in the first episode again!
Grammar mechanics (7 out of 10)
there was some mistakes dealing with “your” vs. “you’re”, as well as some other things.
Choices (out of 20)
I cannot grade this part b/c there are no choices. I understand that you were unable to add in choices in the past, but you should consider still going back and putting some in.
Engaging/stays interesting (7 out of 10)
The story is interesting, but the transitions are very choppy and disorganized. Also, it is very fast paced and jumps around quite a lot.
Episode length (6 out of 10)
In my opinion, the episodes were very short. This is only a personal preference, but I think that you can lengthen the episodes a little.
Character customization (3 out of 5)
There was no character customization, but I understand that there is no such option for mobile creation
I think that your story has a very good basis and idea, but some of the directing and plotlines fell short. I would go back and code some parts again!
Title: Spotlight: Jellyfished

Thank you for reviewing my story! I know the directing isn’t great, it was my 1st story that I made and I was still learning. The directing and plot get better as the story goes on, (at least I am pretty sure they do) and the episodes become much longer as the story progresses. I will admit that the car scene is probably one of the parts that has the worst directing of most of the story. I just recently realized when I was looking through one of my other stories about the “your”/“you’re” spelling errors.
I now plan to go back and work on fixing some of the directing/spelling errors.
1 last question though.
You said
I’m just curious why you say that. That way I know better for other stories.
Hi Cordelia! Here’s my review on the first three episodes.
Disclaimer: This review is meant to help you! Please do not take offense to it!
Creativity (10 out of 10)
I think that the plot of the story so far is very creative!
Storyline (13 out of 15)
While the storyline is rather interesting, I feel like the relationship between Carter and Violet has been moving rather quickly. Maybe they just clicked really early, but you may want to talk some more about that.
Directing (16 out of 20)
While the directing is okay, it would be great to see some more complex zooms and spot directing, especially when everyone is sitting at a lunch table. Also, some of the animations did not fit the text or situation.
Grammar mechanics (8 out of 10)
Overall, the grammar was okay, but there were a few mistakes here and there. I recommend going back and proofreading your script!
Choices (17 out of 20)
There has not been a lot of choices so far, but I predict that they will increase as the story goes on.
Engaging/stays interesting (9 out of 10)
The story has been pretty interesting so far, but there is some dialogue that I think is a little unnecessary, which causes the reader to lose interest.
Episode length (9 out of 10)
I think that the length of the episodes are pretty good, besides the first one, but I understand that it was just the “opener”.
Character customization (out of 5)
No customization
82 out of 95 (not counting customization)
I think that your story is very good so far! All your ideas are really coming through! I think that if you add a few more choices and some new directing, it will really add to the story.
Final Score- 82 out of 95 (not counting customization)
Thank you so much, this is really helpful! I’m glad that you think my story is good! Would you mind if I messaged you privately for a bit more information on how to improve? If not, I understand - you have a lot of other people’s stories to review!

Hey Chanell! Here’s my review on the first three episodes!
Disclaimer: This review is meant to help you! Please do not take offense to it!
Creativity (7 out of 10)
I think your idea is pretty good, but it is not very well executed
Storyline (13 out of 15)
The storyline is currently kinda hard to understand, but hopefully it will become more apparent as the story continues.
Directing (15 out of 20)
I understand that this is your first story, so if you ever need help with more complex directing, you can always ask me! In some scenes, to prevent people from randomly popping up. Also, to prevent people to continue talking even when they are supposed to stop, use the idle animations.
Grammar mechanics (6 out of 10)
Some of the grammar was not very good, and I recommend adding periods to the ends of your sentences! Even if it is a separate text, it still helps the reader! Also, be careful with capitalization!
Choices (16 out of 20)
The choices made did not affect the story very much, and there were not very many.
Engaging/stays interesting (7 out of 10)
The story is hard to follow and the characters are very direct, causing there to not be a lot of drama or suspense.
Episode length (9 out of 10)
The length of the episode is pretty good!
Character customization (out of 5)
no customization
For your first story, this is very good! Here’s my main suggestion- read through your script again and imagine you and your friends talking like your characters. If you think it sounds strange coming out of your mouth, you may want to change the dialogue. Also, it would be great to advance your directing a little!
Story Title: Your Secret Admirer
Author Name/Instagram: @EpisodeCray
Story Description: What happens when Natalia’s secret love letter ends up in the hands of the wrong boy? Will she fall in love or will everything fall apart?

Thank you for your time and I hope you’ll enjoy my story.
I’m glad that you think my story is good! Would you mind if I messaged you privately for a bit more information on how to improve? If not, I understand - you have a lot of other people’s stories to review!
