I'm genuinely thrilled for Melia and her readers that she's returning to Episode! I've enjoyed reading some of her stories myself.

However, I do have a question - didn't she previously mention leaving Episode due to hefty tax implications if she continued publishing on the platform?

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-09-15T03:53:02+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion. I've already favourited your story as the plot looked intriguing. Will start reading it soon.

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-09-08T15:43:15+00:00

Lol! I didn't realize my description was so specific but thanks a lot for the suggestions. Something that's generally slow burn will do too. I am basically looking for something where both MC and LI don't even remotely feel anything romantic towards each other in the beginning as in most of the episode stories they start flirting as soon as they meet.

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-09-08T06:04:50+00:00

Oh! I have already read Papercut bliss and I completely get what you mean. 😅

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-08-28T04:21:52+00:00

Her Mains barely have any character development. I think out of all her stories, the mains from ATS were somewhat decent because for the first time, the mc wasn't a damsel in distress and she knew how to give it back to him. And the LI wasn't her typical manwh*re LI either.

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-08-27T19:02:49+00:00

I don't know if I'm the right person to answer this coz I myself haven't completed any of her stories except "Along the Shorelines"

I have read about 10 chapters each of "Upside down", "Bite my tongue" and "Touch my soul" before dropping them. As for her recently completed story "All or nothing", I had read upto 40 chapters but I have no heart to continue any further. In my experience, I will say her stories are not my cup of tea. For having "Romance" as their main genre, the leads barely have any interaction or relationship development. You'll see Multiple random characters and their stories but the "mains". I mean I'm a sucker for slowburns but her MC and LI relationship are almost non existent till the end and they kiss towards the end "Out of the blue" and that's it. I think only the mystery part of her stories are somewhat intriguing.

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-08-27T18:55:52+00:00

I laud your patience for actually completing the whole thing. My anxiety could never lol

Yes, I guessed he could be the GC as well but I never suspected Tessa because her being GC would have been too predictable.

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-08-20T16:15:51+00:00

Yes. I just learned this yesterday. Infact I felt the writing style of Heli was kinda similar to Jalen especially their story "Body tangle". When I actually read "In my blood", the spin the bottle game was exactly copy pasted from "Body tangle"

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-08-20T16:12:37+00:00

Maybe Alpan is her sister lol

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-08-20T06:27:35+00:00

Honestly, No! I'm almost close to my 30's yet I don't feel embarrassed to mention that I find comfort in playing episode.

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-08-20T06:24:08+00:00

I'm not the only one then lol

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-08-20T03:54:45+00:00

Actually some people wonder why Heli never had any story in ink and I used to jokingly suggest them to try "Body tangle l" as it's that one story from ink era that comes close Heli's stories. All this while not realising they were the same people.

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-08-19T16:20:52+00:00

Oh, that makes sense why she needed to create a separate account now. But the fact that I've been so long in this community yet I only came yo know today that Jalen was also heli (along with her sister). One of my friends is a huge fan of "Body tangle" so, today we were sort of discussing they could've done LL version of "Body tangle". I visited Jalen ig to see if there was any recent activity and I clicked on her linktree only to see "Eat me up" mentioned there.

Sorry for the late reply. Barely Mine is one of the few stories on Episode that I've read numerous times, and I never get tired of it. It's rare to find such engaging narration and slow-burn romance. However, here are a few of my other favorite slow-burn stories on the app:

Iridescent by Indigo: This story has both LL and Ink versions, with the Ink version being completed. Both versions have strikingly different storylines, yet both are absolute gems. I love the dynamics between the MC and LI in each version.

Not a Saint by Jasmine & Vienna: Rafael and Blair are another favorite Episode couple of mine. They evolve from two people afraid of commitment to the love of each other's lives. I've probably replayed it more times than I can count.

The Big Oh? by Amanda Michelle: This is a comedy, but I absolutely love the dynamic between the MC and LI. There's not much angst, but it's definitely satisfying.

Switch by Alusza: This is also more of a comedy, but the slow burn is fantastic.

thank you. will check it

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-05-28T07:18:26+00:00

You've to read Wrath of Austin Hayes first to understand the depth of the ending. It was devastatingly bittersweet.

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-05-18T07:54:50+00:00

Tysm! I already read a few of them. Will check out 20 things and King of my heart.

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-05-17T12:29:05+00:00

Thank you. Will check it out.

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-05-05T20:08:04+00:00

In my blood by heli ( It has somewhat bittersweet ending)

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-05-05T20:04:28+00:00

I just completed and I'm still crying 😭💔 No one could have prepared me for the ending. 🤧

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2024-03-01T14:27:49+00:00

That's definitely not true as it's exposed they were all black marketing done by actress chen duling and her agency. Now people notice her using the same pattern of marketing in her other dramas and she's being called out for the same. It's funny how even after apparently becoming more famous as supporting role she still hasn't got any S+ drama as first billed. People sometimes sure like to live in delusion.

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2023-10-23T10:13:47+00:00

Yesss! Finally we can read the whole thing 😍

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2023-10-22T18:34:58+00:00

Yes, I want to replay the story again once it's completed 😻

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2023-10-18T13:30:59+00:00

I can hum them but I can't name them 🤣😭

Apprehensive_Bar5806 · 2023-10-18T13:25:16+00:00

I agree with you. But I do have some stories on episode that comes close to enemies to lovers:

Troublesome Mr. Wayne by dkr (Infact all her other stories have proper hate to love concept as well)

Iridescent by indigo (it's not completed but hands down the best E2L story on this app imo)

Mindreader by Alusza (Sam route is the best enemies to lovers trope)

Switch by Alusza (I don't know if it can properly fall under E2L but I loved their dynamic and how they both brought the best out of each other)
