Collect Feedback

Ask beta readers:

  • Does the multimedia add to the story’s immersion?
  • Are there any moments where the media feels unnecessary or distracting?

Iterate Based on Feedback

  • Adjust, replace, or remove multimedia elements that don’t align with the narrative or reader expectations.

Reasoning

Testing ensures that multimedia elements support the story’s goals and provide a seamless experience for readers.
