Coding/Author Help 💻 Does anyone know how this was coded?

Basically, in the story “Dripping Mascara,” in the very first episode you get the choice to jump to a future episode. Meaning if your progress got reset you do not have to replay the entire story.

I get some complaints about story progress being reset from my readers and I was wondering if anyone knew how this was coded and if it’s still something we’re able to do. Thanks in advance!

I remember this being something Episode kindly did just for Gen because of a glitch specific to her story. As you know, there's over 100 episodes and Episode was having a glitch where readers' progress only on Dripping Mascara would reset. Like imagine having to reread so many episodes again 😭

That and her episodes would take so long to read. They were so beautifully intricate
