- Community stories >>> featured stories. I wish I’d known how to find stories without gem choices and with actual good content (not that Episode let me for the first 4 days…)
- Reads say more about story age and virality than effort and plot. Probably the same is true of irl books, but it was a lesson to learn quickly on Episode.
And most importantly…
- This app has 124k stories, all at your fingertips. If episode 1 isn’t quality, the rest won’t be either. Move on. So many stories that I followed through, waiting for them to get better, and they didn’t. I saw grammatical mistakes that I didn’t think were possible for a teenager to make. I saw winding plots and useless arcs and nonsensical cameos. I saw it all before I learned to filter stories harshly to make sure I didn’t waste my time. I use a 5-finger rule now: if there’s one major thing or 5 minor things that I don’t like in episode 1, I move along.
