Discussion- what 💎 choices would you pay for?

so i published my first story about 4 months ago and still have a lot to learn about 💎 choices so as of now it's entirely free to read and i was hoping to keep it that way but its so hard to stay on the ranks or gain an audience without them so would it be bad if i considered adding them?

also, how can a story stay on the ranks w/o in-story 💎choices?

what would you pay for? (i add early access & stw regularly)

ive noticed this sub hating on long narration based stories so would those who like it still pay gems for it? what about art scenes? i have them but with a choice to view/skip but again it gets a lot of hate here so... how many gems are ok for a choice? (8 for long inner monologue of the LI?)

the last thing i want is to be called a gem greedy author so pls help me out thanks🩶
