I know! I honestly hate it so much. Mostly because it reminds me of my very first story. I didn’t look up a tutorial or anything didn’t know how to preview the story it was a mess

Don’t even get me started on the clothes in the stories. It’s just the same crop top, booty shorts, breast exposing, fishnets, etc.

Yep. I just really hate those stories because you can predict everything that’s gonna happen and it’s frustrating for me cuz I get jealous when I work really hard on a story that has hints of everything and is interactive with the readers and those cliche stories are always getting more reads

Tbh, people on Episode have very low expectations. But I however don’t. What’s your story name? I’d like to read it afterschool.

Yes exactly. It’s just like all these abusive relationships we see all over the app… it can be extremely triggering for people who have been through that kind of stuff.

I agree. Makes me angry to see people finding this sexy when it isn’t. These idiots can be so dismissive as well for defending this kind of behaviour. Disgusting!!

YESSSSSS. I’m so damn glad that someone else sees this issue cause it’s to damn disturbing and such a bad message to send out. Rape, abuse, selling yourself and so on is never cute. It’s not a hot plot and it’s really sad how people can write about this and how popular those kinds of stories are…

I feel that on a spiritual level. Now, I’m new and writing my first story… but geez, I’ve seen so many stories that just, to put it nicely, suck. #sorrynotsorry .

What’s funny is… Since writing that comment, I’ve actually gained, like, 100 000 reads. So now I am worried that I am one of those stories I was jealous of and people now think this when they read my story

When authors don’t end a story and continue it on and on even though it’s clear the story is going nowhere, I stop reading.
Also random deaths & pregnancy *storylines that don’t add to the plot make me stop reading, as well as mindless drama that makes no sense.

Name a story you made and I’ll let you know if you are one! jk but I’d love to read one. I really wish they would use more original stories for their featured ones… I feel like it’s always the same few writers that are featured… the app itself doesn’t offer much exposure for other writers.

RIGHT? There will be like 59 episodes when it should have been over like 40 episodes ago?!

I’ve been flagged for answering this question before since it’s off topic, so I’m blurring lol. My story that got featured is One of the Girls, read a few seconds of it and let me know if I’m a hypocrite who includes lots of episode turn offs

It ruins stories for me. Like please…just…give…it…an…end. KILL THE STORY.
Because you can love it so much at first, but if it feels like it should’ve ended at 20, but continues on until 40 - it’s just not fun to read.
Then I don’t even want to reread.
