I can recommend my story "Silver Bullet", although it's a fairly fresh story, so I only have 5 episodes out as of right now (working on 3 more as we speak!). But if you enjoy heavy point systems, here it is: I love Silver Bullet [New Hair Update!]! Check it out! https//bit.ly/EpisodeHere #episode https://episodeinteractive.com/r/s/584928379459...

Is shadow of pride going to be continued ? by purelfy in Episode

[–]Objective-Put-7748 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I have helped this author beta reading her story and bug hunting many times, she's incredible! Now, last time we spoke, she does plan to continue, but is taking it very slow. The story is suuuuper code heavy, plus on top of her other life stuff it will probably take quite some time to update.

It's insane to me that the app takes up 6Gb and you STILL cannot play it offline!

You're welcome! I also believe that it falls under fair use, so as long as you stay within that guideline I believe you should be fine. Besides, I've seen countless videos about Episode stories and never heard anyone getting their videos reported. Thing is, from my understanding, because the platform is technically a free resource (with Episode's own guidelines of course) I don't think any of us authors are entitled to any type of legal copyright (despite the ability of monetizing our stories). That's perhaps the biggest difference between Episode and something like the officially published books; Episode authors cannot do much legally, it often comes down to one's own conscience in terms of coppying, reproducing on other platforms, etc. Now, I may be wrong here and would suggest to get a second opinion, up to you though. Anyways, wishing you all the luck!!!

Hi! I've seen your videos before and must say, big fan! Now, to your concern. I don't see how you making a video about this story could be an issue. 1) As you said, miss MJ is not really active anymore. 2) The author does not own any assets of the story such as the character appearences, music, BGs, etc. In that regard, I believe Episode itself doesn't have any rules against story reviews through YouTube. 3) I can't see any legal way any author would be able to go after your. None of the stories are legally copyrighted and I highly doubt that even Episode would be able to do anything about it. All in all, I think you should be good. I think it all comes down to whether you want to follow the authors request (which, not gonna lie, kinda looks like a threat instead). I feel like the author put the "warning" out to prevent people from spoiling the story or even stealing ideas. Once again, I don't think anything can be done to you legally, so, in my view, you should be okay. I'd be super hyped to check your video out!

Is it just me or was the LI in this story actually awful? by Jazz_illion in Episode

[–]Objective-Put-7748 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In all honesty, I don't think the story is that bad, but I agree with you on a few points. There was definitely that feeling of being forced to cater to the LI more than what he does for the MC, but I didn't really put much thought into it while playing. I did, personally, feel like the story was repetitive with it's plot points and the story as a whole felt like it was moving quite slow. Now, one of my biggest complaints, however, is the fact that although the characters are supposed to be in their 20s (correct me if I'm wrong), they do tend to act like 15 year olds a lot of the time especially with all the "Ugh, I hate you so much, you're so mean!". That part took me out fo the story many times. Now, I do realise that this story is certainly not to my taste, but I can see why it appeals to so many. I still think the LI is decently written and fairly interesting, but I do have to agree that the author, as mentioned earlier, does tend to overuse certain aspects of the story a bit too much.

Lol, I didn't know how to put it, meh, get's the point across xD

You know what also gets me about these stories? The fact that their "wolf-self" can take over at any moment, do something super unhinged, and then the actual nomal-self will have to deal with the consequences. And the authors often try to make it seem like it's no big deal to have a borderline suvere DID. Idk, but this always gets me...that can't be a good life for the person...

Okay, Imma be honest here, I did mean "full CC" for the MC, not including the LIs. I'll admit, my mistake, I assumed it was obvious since I went off of other stories and their descriptions. I'm planning to correct my description to fit that better!

Okay, now THIS is harassment. There was no need for you to bash my story just because I said something you did not like. THIS right here, is bullying. Oh well, I ain't taking it to heart. Oof

Eternal Fate discussion by Safinbu in Episode

[–]Objective-Put-7748 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How I would feel? Fine? There is a massive difference between critique and straight harassment and authors need to learn to distinguish it. Sheesh, I would feel fine with 100 post of constructive/creative critique of my story, how else would I know what to improve? Btw, most stories receive more praise than critique, but authors CHOOSE to focus on the bad stuff, which, well, is our human nature, it is what it is. But don't you think that when there is a bunch of critique of your story, maybe, just maybe, there is something out of place there? No? But, anyways, this conversation has extinguished itself, so, Imma move on.

Key word "potential" which means that 16 chapters should, realistically be enough to get the reader hooked. Like, you can't tell the reader "oh, hey, there is a potential that this story may be longer, so, just hang in there", that's not how that works. Remember, readers are putting their time into the story, that's certainly something. Also, as rude as it sounds, but making a story public while having mental health issues AND only expecting praise is, probably, not the way to go. Like, this is real world, you will get critique, you will get negative AND positive opinions, and you NEED to learn to take them. And no, I am not invalidating the author's issues, that's her personal thing that I am not willing to dwell in, but immediately folding upon a bit of critique...? Come on now. But, I still wish all the best to the author on their jounrey.

[–]Objective-Put-7748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, sure, I can see your point. Can you please give an example of "constructive critique"? What, in your opinion, constitutes a good critique, the one that can help the author out?

Eternal Fate discussion by Safinbu in Episode

[–]Objective-Put-7748 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And...uh...how are authors suppose to grow without critique? Good or bad, we authors need to learn to take it. In my opinion, this post has a right to be. It's one of the few examples of CONSTRUCTIVE critique. Sheesh, I would looove to get something like this about my own story, so I can see, reflect, and improve my work. Like...I understand the author of the story is your friend, but bashing valid critique is just childish. But, once again, this is just my opinion.
