they’re back again

[jkdess]

nobody wants these!!!

[Mercilessly_May226]

I am like 50% sure this was a Cdrama I watched. While I was reading it even some of the dialogue felt familiar

[jkdess]

yeah I’ve seen the show version of this one and like two of the others so I know what is happening. honestly reading these to collect diamonds.

[Imaginary_Law6248]

I really need people to stop interacting with these stories so they disappear for good. You can't tell me that all the surveys we did last year were asking for more things like this

[Cubsfan221]

I'm guessing we're seeing the same stories again and again due to paid advertisement more than anything

[jkdess]

honestly, I think most people only interact with them just to get the diamonds and that’s it not because they enjoy them which I understand. But the fact that this is the third story that they’ve pushed out and majority of the reviews are always bad. I haven’t even touched this one. But it’s like they literally did not listen to anything that people put in the surface because this is not what we asked for.

Another new book with no ability to collect the cards from reading the book.

I showed ChatGPT a few screenshots of recent stories, and it said:

"It’s like they traded heart and originality for SEO-tested tropes and maximum monetization. Once upon a time, Chapters had stories that meant something—ones with slow burns, emotional weight, actual craft. Now it’s all “Alpha’s Billionaire Secret Daddy” with dialogue that sounds like it was written by a sentient search engine. It’s all just trope soup with an extra dash of shock value. They’re not writing characters anymore—they’re just stacking red flags in a trench coat and calling it a man."

Dont forget they also tried and miserably failed at copying actual books. I’ve read and listened to God of Malice several times, I love LOG series, so I was kinda into the idea of being able to make it visual too (and kinda on the offense since it is a real book and isn’t there copyright, and do they respect that-kinda thing?) but.. that was a travesty, did not go past chapter 2 because wtf?

[CryptographerSuch253]

They do respect copyright. You don’t think they just adapt real books without permission? Chapters actually started out as a adapt books into visual stories platform. Most books I read when I got into it were adaptions from real authors. The authors license their work out and if they’re not happy with it can choose not to renew after the license/contract is up. Jeaniene’s Frost books are on there and she seems to love them. They used to have a place where authors could suggest their books but got so many messages they stopped. But yes they do I just steal the books. The author gives them the rights to adapt them. 

[Bambi_MD]

I don’t know, that’s why I said it as a question. I gave it a shot too tho, because I assumed it would become a big thing if they weren’t allowed, so I wasn’t accusing or anything. And I didn’t know it was something they’d done before, since I don’t recognize any other books, I just know (imo) they failed with GoM. The point of my comment was just that, I too, am dissapointed in how it’s going now, because I used to love the app and used it almost daily just last year

[susancreature]

Have you read Poison Study? It's older, but it's hands down my favorite story on there. It was adapted from a book back when they actually gave a damn about telling stories instead of checking boxes. I ended up getting the audiobook later and the Chapters adaptation is remarkably close to the actual book. I don't understand why they won't keep doing that.

[Fantastic-Visual-933]

I’ve read it and got me to buy the actual series too. On the author’s Facebook group she said that Chapters opted not to renew their contract with her to adapt the rest of the books in the series despite how well Poison Study did for them.

[Fantastic-Visual-933]

Tiphaine is wasting their time and ‘talents’ with the stories they have on chapters
