Linked Chapters counting as actual chapters.

Within a game story, chapters are usually longer with the same amount of content shown to the reader. The more linking chapters, the more content and work.
I don't think there is something wrong about that.

I disagree. I have found that game chapters are often much shorter. Partially because you have to break them up for more choices and partially because you end up writing "the nothing happens" chapters that you would probably not write in a traditional story.

Game stories get the double shaft in metrics because of this. In order to be true to your genre you have to write chapters you don't necessarily want to and that you know will receive few likes and your chapter to like ratio is lowered by having what amounts to hyper links counting as chapters.

All fair points.

There will be probably only one metric (Views) that will be higher in comparison to other story forms.
