No narration. I only like narration if it’s really necessary or you’re telling something like a backstory.

Well I prefer no narration (unless it’s narrating an art scene). I will read stories with some narration but if it’s very heavy in narration, well I won’t read it. Mainly because when the author narrates everything, there are LOTS of grammatical errors and I CAN’T stand that.

I prefer with narration, maybe it’s because I just love reading in general. But I prefer being able to imagine what’s going on with well written narration rather than janky animations and stuff, it throws me off. But that’s just personal opinion!

I don’t mind narrations only when they are vital, usually for spotlight stories, but I hate when authors narrate their characters’ whole backstory and turn their stories into novels. Show, don’t tell. Episode is a VISUAL storytelling app.

I like narration if it’s from the main character’s point of view, but not excessively describing everything that’s going on around them. :kissing_heart:

Narration for art scenes is nice, but as previously stated, in moderation is enjoyable for me! Having no narration at times can also be nice.
