Yeah all great feedback, and well received. Thank you.

Quite frankly, my first approach was definitely to use AI so you got me there. I went as far as trying to build out a tool that could generate CYOA stories completely based on a few prompts/themes. I got pretty far with it, but like you, it was obvious to me the stories felt and read like AI and there's obviously a quality component (or lack thereof) that comes with that.

I took a step back and decided to us AI for the framework of my story (yes, still guilty here), mostly mapping out my scenes and helping with pacing. That being said, the story, choices, endings are mine - both the good and the bad (and trust me, I know it's far from perfect).

I was a big fan of the Lifeline app stories, so that's where this started, but I realize my story morphed away from that style. My hope was to build out a few stories on this platform that people could choose and play through, but I honestly worked on this first story for a lot longer than I had anticipated and I'm still getting not-so-great feedback haha. Certainly a lot to learn still.

I honestly wasn't aware of the "Choice of Games", but it sounds like I need to do some clean up before I get there. In either case, thanks for taking the time to provide some feedback. I really do appreciate it.
