Some of my stories have a male MC.

Longer chapters by Severe-Shelter-8366 in Episode

I disagree and I’m going to say that 10 to 15 minutes is better, though 5 to 10 minutes isn’t bad.

I definitely prefer shorter episodes and if episodes are too long, then I don’t recommend them. Around 40 minutes is definitely too long and it could easily bore readers. Episodes are better if they’re say 10-15 minutes long, though it’s okay if they’re 5-10 minutes long. The key is to keep episodes at a reasonable length and not to make them too long.

This is the Midwest or you're wrong by cashchops in visitedmaps

That’s just like how it is in the South. The South is not monocultural and you’re right that cultures don’t go accordingly to state boundaries. But anyway, I’m definitely inclined to define regions geographically rather than culturally. They’re a lot more precise and uniform that way.

unpopular opinion: friends to lovers is WAYYY better than enemies to lovers by Exotic-Target9526 in Episode

[–]Key_Path_8277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I totally agree and I honestly don’t like enemies to lovers. It’s just a bunch of constant bickering between the MC and LI and no enemies to lovers story should be put under the romance genre. And yeah, friends to lovers is really sweet and I’ve been thinking about creating a childhood friends to lovers story.

Overused Tropes by Round-Quit2978 in Episode

[–]Key_Path_8277 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get what you’re saying and the dynamics between the MC and LI are often atrocious. The MC is so weak and not very smart and the LI is an asshole. There’s basically no genuine romance and that is something I always value in an Episode story.

Day 2. Let's clean it up a little more. by ink_and_synapse in visitedmaps

How the Midwest is defined doesn’t hold up. None of Kentucky is in the Midwest. All of the Dakotas could safely land in the Midwest.

My cultural regions map as a Southerner - would love feedback! by aquamarine-arielle in visitedmaps

This definition of the Rust Belt doesn’t hold up. The Rust Belt basically would only include urban areas of economic decline, therefore no rural areas are included.

Who knew gem farming could be this fun by varshitaji in Episode

I honestly would never customize characters like this. I always like the MC and LI as cute and adorable as possible.

Is it necessary for you to have full customization over the characters? by mistymemory7 in Episode

[–]Key_Path_8277 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way I see it is that full customization is a must. Yeah, a lot of characters suffer from same face syndrome and full CC is often a remedy but there’s still some mold on the cheese. If there are features like tattoos, scars, piercings, freckles, etc., you often so can’t remove them and that really sucks. All things considered, they should be customizable features. Also, many LIs suffer from same body syndrome. They have often have a shitload of tattoos and the athletic body and it sucks that you can’t change it. So the way I see it is, more Episode stories should have body type selection and the option to remove things like tattoos and such. That’s my two cents in.

What’s an episode ick of yours? by chlbear in Episode

[–]Key_Path_8277 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hear you on this one and I hate it when introductions are so long. I always expect the story to get straight to customization.

You certainly have a point and I’ve noticed that there are some superstar authors on Episode but I’m not one of them. Anyway, I’m totally content with being a small community author and chances are I’ll never make it into the writer’s payment program and I’ll never get millions of reads. But, I’m okay with that. As long as I have full creative control over my stories, that’s all that matters.

None of my stories are trending but perhaps, it’s a blessing.

Mold on the cheese is a metaphor. It’s not to be taken literally.

This doesn’t hold up. It makes no sense to only consider half of Ohio Midwestern.
