How do people decide which story to invest time in and actually read?
My process has been fine tuned over the years I have been exploring Literotica but I still choose some which are not that great.
I have my goto topics - Loving Wives, First Time, E & V, Erotic Coupling. I also have my never touch topics - Gay Male, Taboo/Incest, BDSM, Transgender.
I'll start with the list of new submissions. Then I look at the title and if it suggests, to me, that there is a story to be read I will then look at the author's profile. Once in the profile I'll look at the topics he/she covers and then look at how their stories are rated. If they regularly rate below 3.5 I will, generally, go elsewhere except I may still look at the new story which attracted me in the first place. If it starts with a good introduction I may stay but if it's not to my liking I'll simply go back to the new submissions list.
If the author has a good general rating I'll Follow and then explore the rest of their stories ignoring any which fall under my "never touch" list of topics.
If I find a theme within a story I will, sometimes, then search for that theme and try other authors who incorporate it in their stories.
There are some fantastic stories here and I really appreciate the effort put in by the authors. There is also a lot of poorly written stuff and whilst people need feedback to improve there are some people who, despite feedback, guidance and suggestions, will never produce something worth reading.
