Just migrated here, and I would read your stories on WP. Episode is acting up these days.

It takes way too long to code episodes as well. I tried to write a story once and gave up after I’d only done half a chapter with 4h of coding.

I think Episode is good to code a short series (3-5 episodes). Writing on episode really gets my creative juices flowing.
Besides that though, episode is not a good platform to use if you want to be a writer. It focuses more on visuals and coding than it does on improving your writing, since the only “writing” you’re actually doing is characters’ dialogue
It’s WAY too time consuming too. One episode with advanced directing and complex branching may take 2-3 weeks to write. I really admire these other episode authors for doing it, they really have a lot of determination. Though, to me, it seems like a major waste of time.

- They don’t even care about the writers.

For our @Writers here who use Episode, does anyone have anymore peeves that have convinced them or drawn them close to leaving the platform?

I don’t like the mods and the way the higher ups act lol. I also don’t like how when you upload a cover it never shows up until you publish. Like, what if I don’t want to publish a story but want it to have an amazing cover so I can distinguish it? I was so happy when Wattpad let me add a cover lmao.

Oh I have one. They have the power to platform ban you at any moment and give you no reason why they do it.
While every company has that power, Episode likes to throw it around like the disgusting tyrannical platform it is. It thinks it has enough clout to be YouTube.
So basically, your years of hard work could be taken away from you at any time. Done. Poof.

The amount of toxicity going on. There are some people who go around “educating” but then bully other users.

I’m not an Episodian, but I hear that a lot. Could someone give me some examples? 
I’m really curious how this compares to the toxicity on the other sites!
If you go on an Instagram account called @/episodesroom, there’s a post about me supposedly being racist. They took an old photo which I fixed 6 months ago and accused me of cultural appropriation. The funny thing is, they have a problem AFTER I fix it and not before. Like if it was an issue, why now and not back then when no one batted an eye. Then they take screen shots of my stories and say I’m racist, including my reveal entry WHICH IS NOT EVEN AVAILABLE YET! I mean if you’re gonna do that, at least post the whole scene and not just a point where a character says something. It’s stupid!
And coronavirus is my opinion and I know a few others who have the same theory. Doesn’t mean I’m denying what’s happening. Yes people are dying I get it, but personally I don’t think it’s caused by a virus but something else. Just my theory and I’m entitled to it without being hated on.
Then there’s another post about my friend supposedly sending death threats. Yes I admit she went to far but only because people were sending HER death threats too. She just wanted them to feel the same way they made her feel when they sent it to her.

… okay, that’s old tumblr level of toxicity. Which is about as toxic as a nuclear waste dump. Located at the end of a sewer extract pipe. From a chemical factory. In 1950ies. 
Welcome to Episode 
i can honestly relate to this, like im really getting fluent in coding, and i find it satisfying seeing my animations play out
im also learning coding through a program in school
so all i can really say is being an author of episode is really only worthed if you like coding and animations.
And i can agree that building plot in Episode is hard and time consuming but if you wanna be a writing author (no animationed stories) you gotta head over to wattpad
