Episode is getting very expensive. Even the community stories that didn't require gems to play require gems to play. Honestly, the authors take a very long time to update. I have 20 stories waiting to be finished that haven't seen updates in six months to a year. Episode should require a timeline. All stories must be updated once a week or completed by a certain time. I am tired of waiting for updates and honestly cannot keep paying for gems. I got sick of waiting.
