How can I engage readers in an interactive narrative?

Engaging readers in an interactive narrative involves creating choices that impact the story. What type of narrative are you considering?

I'm thinking about a fantasy story where readers can choose the hero's path.

That sounds exciting! You could implement branching storylines where each choice leads to different adventures. Have you thought about how many choices you want to offer?

Maybe three main choices at key points in the story.

Great idea! This allows for depth without overwhelming the reader. You could also include feedback on their choices to enhance engagement. Would you like tips on structuring those choices?

Yes, please! How should I structure the choices?

Consider using a decision tree format. Each choice can lead to a unique outcome, and you can weave in character development based on their decisions. Would you like examples of decision trees?
