📌 How do Live Books work?

1️⃣ A new chapter every week
Books are published weekly, with a new chapter every Friday.
Each Live Book has 5 chapters.

2️⃣ Students vote and comment
After reading each chapter, students can vote on how the story should continue.
They can also leave comments and questions for the author, sharing their ideas and reflections.

3️⃣ The author writes the next chapter
Based on the students’ votes and comments, the author writes the next chapter.
This makes reading a truly interactive process, where students directly influence the plot.
