What Do Episode Readers Like? (Poll and Questions)

Hey there!

I’ve been going back and forth with myself because I have so many ideas for so many different kinds of stories. I wanted to ask your opinion on what you, the reader, like to read on Episode!


Here are some example questions:

  1. What is your favorite genre?
  2. What in a story grabs your attention? (Ex. Cover art, description… etc!)
  3. What is something you hate in an Episode story?

Thank you! I’m excited to see your opinion! :slightly_smiling_face: :heartpulse:

Also, if you’re interested… I have a few stories in mind and wanted to make a poll to see which the community would prefer. You don’t have to do it, but it would help me! Thanks!

Which type of story would you consider reading?
  • Romance/Drama
  • Mystery/Adventure
  • Fantasy/Adventure

For me it depends, if the episode is total cringe I’ll dump it but if it is okay and the plot is pretty good I’ll keep it. I don’t really mind if people don’t have cover art but the description does matter big time. Before people read your story they have to read the description that tries to interest the readers into reading it! That sounds confusing :sweat_smile:

For me, I like all genres equally. If it has an eye catching cover and a very interesting description, I’ll give it a shot.

Overall though, it seems that Episode readers tend to prefer the Romance genre (much harder to trend in this category due to the sheer number of stories in it) with a very steamy looking cover.

The only thing I really hate is a story with a clear lack of purpose, or when the episodes are just drug out relentlessly. I’ve read plenty of stories with poor grammar and not the best directing solely because the idea of their story was fascinating and one of a kind.

Thank you! This helps so much. :sweat_smile: I feel the same exact way about the poor directing and grammar… I triple check my episodes on my phone and in the portal just to make sure everything looks, sounds and works alright!

Mystery and fantasy.

The plot and what’s relatable(it’s not necessary though).

When it’s very lustful and cringe.

Stories that seem like they’re going no where, basically. No plot development, no character development…
It makes me feel like I’m wasting my time if I’m not working towards something, ya know?

    amazing grammar, story telling language, and a good sense of humor

  3. What is something you hate in an Episode story?
    i absolutely hate when the love interests start to like each other too quickly. what really makes a good episode story is the yearning felt between the love interests.

Thrillers/horrors, Mysteries, and anything that involves people having super powers :sob:.

The tittle and the cover art, casual Comedy that isn’t obviously forced, amazing directing, and characters with personalities.

Lack of diversity. And when there is diversity, it’s very stereotyped and not well researched.

Edit: I also hate when stories are either too fast paced, and i hate stories with like 20 minute long episodes, cause i have a short attention span and lose interest.
