    What gets you invested in a playthrough/want to read one?

    Pretty much exactly like everyone elses. No long blocks of text-- though I can live through those, I just prefer not to.

    It doesn't really matter to me whether or not it has screenshots or not because no books I've become invested in had illustrations, but if they're there, then that's nice.

    Character interactions. It's like in Warrior Cats whe they have to swap POV's just to tell yo uwhat's going on in the other clans even though they have nothing to do with the main plot-- just, make your characters interact, or at least think about each other. 

    Also, if a character acts one way at the start and suddenly acts another way halfway through, I need an explanation at least. At best some kind of journey of self discovery. 

    I agree that character development is important, too. If a character is too complex right from the start, it's hard to believe that it's the same character. although sometimes i manage to hve issues with this. at least, in my opinion. But an empty slate of a character is no good, either.

    One 'chapter' or post has to have new information. By that I mean no repetition - that's just something that I personally can't handle - and no unecessary details unless it's a portrayal of the character's personality through thoughts or for foreshadowing. Actually, that's just a story tip in general. Just a little note on that last one; I had to write the entire thing on my whiteboard and force it into words because my brain was going too fast for me to comprehend it properly in something other than images and colours. What is going on--

    This is just a little kinda personal preference thing, but if I find wanderers that I don't think I can slot into the story - for example, there's an old melanistic female creature that I have nothing to do with in my Orniekis playthrough because she's old, but not as old as Pridukven was - I don't even try. I invite them in so that they're not wandering around and then use then to gather food so that my creatures don't starve to death in the middle of a plot point. 

    I think that's all I have to say. Might come back to this if I get any other ideas and edit them into this reply.
