If someone goes to your profile page, then looks at the chapters you've published, thay can see what tags are on each chapter. I have no idea how many people actually do that.

I didn't really address this point in my first post, but I should mention this since it's CHYOA: Any criticism is going to land much harder if it is delivered publicly. Regardless of how you sandwich or phrase a critique it may be best to do it in a DM. Comments should probably be positive only...
