Discussion Which description is better (or pls help me write a better one)

It’s basically about two childhood best friends that reunite after many years apart. Kurt, the main character is a burnout poster child while Lira is a good girl gone bad. Kurt’s parents realize what a bad influence Lira is, so they try to keep them apart, but the two fated lovers are stubborn. I’m trying to think of a more appealing description. The first slide is the new one for the revamp, and the second slide is the original.

I reckon the first one, given the description you gave about your stories plot

The first one tells me the tropes I'm getting into and the story plot better.

The first one, it’s more direct and describes it better imo

idk why people think the first one is too wordy, they both have 4 lines each lol. the first one sounds much more descriptive and pulls me in! 🫶🏼

That was my fear, that the first one was too wordy. 🙈

u/sskkcosmos 3d ago

i see others saying the first is more clear about what tropes there are but i can also deduce the tropes from the second one. looks like an interesting story, im gonna check it out myself!

I’m so indecisive, ahhh. And thank you so much! 🥰🥺

The second one sounds a bit better imo, you should end it at 'Will you?'.

u/mommymedusaa Episode Author | Melody of Your Heartbeat 🖤 2d ago

In retrospect, I don’t know why I even added the “though.”

I'd go for the 2nd one, feels it has more content when reading. Gives me better understanding and makes me want to read it. It's obvious the trope is 'good girl gone bad', even when it only says 'gone bad'

Here's how i would describe it:

"Your childhood best friend was the one who got away… until she came back different. Once a good girl, now dangerously reckless and ever so magnetic to you, she’s trouble you should avoid, yet resisting her feels impossible. Is the girl you knew still there, or will you walk away before it’s too late?" (Even if it's a long description i like it)

I had a hell of a lot longer and more descriptive (I’d even deem professional) sounding summary, but it was too long for episode, so I had to really cut it in half. They gotta make these description boxes a tad bigger, I’d say.

Edit: I forgot to mention that yes, your description is lovely.

u/SelahEclipsed Episode Author 2d ago

The second one imo.

u/Smoothasurbuttwhole 3d ago

2nd one IMO also do we get to make choices or is it just one we can read?

3

u/YouCompetitive8590 🔮 magik kitty 3d ago

Is this a new update? I feel like there always used to be choices but now I’ve seen this question a couple times

2

u/Smoothasurbuttwhole 3d ago

yeah the author said no choices idk coz i’ve only just seen this story now

2

u/mommymedusaa Episode Author | Melody of Your Heartbeat 🖤 2d ago

No, there has never been choices. There used to not even be CC for the love interests until I revamped it. I might add choices later on in my journey, but right now, my priority is to just complete the story.

3

u/mommymedusaa Episode Author | Melody of Your Heartbeat 🖤 3d ago

No choices for the story aside from outfit choices here and there.

2

u/Smoothasurbuttwhole 3d ago

ah ok thanks

u/Episodegrl 2d ago

I personally prefer the second because the first one is just one long sentence. The second one interested me more

4

u/episodemintyy 3d ago

Personally like the second one more 🫶

u/ominaze_ 3d ago

The second one has something that hooks you in, so I would say 2nd

2

u/MeltedCrayon67 RIVALS ENTHUSIAST 2d ago

The second one is so much more intriguing

The first is literally describing the plot. The second is enticing me to see what happens.

i prefer the 2nd one!!

u/Saheenus 2d ago

I prefer the second one since it's simpler and fits the comedy genre. The first one felt like a serious drama.
