Yeah, I played Episodes in like...2014? I played that one really crappy college story, pretty sure it was called Campus Crush or something, and it was somewhere of about 100+ chapters. But I kept playing it because there weren't many other options, and every boring chapter, I told myself "Oh, it'll get better, it'll get better..." Major spoiler alert: it never did.

Episode somehow gets all the fame and acclaim for all these lame, cliché teen pregnancy stories and bad boy love interests that have no traits or personality aside from being a bad boy, and are more forced on the reader than Rory from HSS:CA. But Choices...it's not as popular as Episode as far as I can tell, but even AtV is better than probably most or all of the Episode stories. Trust me. I would rather get nothing but AtV and HFTH chapters for the rest of my life than have to rely on Episode for entertainment.

The characters in Choices who are roughly one-dimensional are highly preferable to the Episodes characters.

While the Episodes art isn't too bad, the artwork from Choices is much more appealing to look at.

I don't recall if Episodes has any soundtrack, so if it does, it's highly forgettable, while Choices has soundtracks that make me tear up when I hear them (ES wedding).

Choices has a relatively vast selection of stories, all of pretty good quality (even the bad ones) with unique plots and circumstances. Meanwhile, Episode is mostly romance drama, pregnancy stories, and bad boy plots.

Lastly, Choices really lives up to its name, because many of the Choices you make really do matter. If you make a wrong choice, at best, some characters might be upset with you or you miss out on an opportunity, and at worst, someone could die because of your actions. Meanwhile, the choices in Episode seem to have minimal impact on the story, if any. I remember Campus Crush had such limited selections. You couldn't customize yourself or even customize your name, as there were maybe eight presets you could choose from.

So while I may sometimes shake my fist like a crotchety old (wo)man and yell "Aargh, damn you, Pixelberry!" I still love Choices and Pixelberry to death and would choose any story and any character any day over anything from Episode.
