What is Wāhanga?
Ko te wāhanga te wāhanga kotahi o tētahi kōrero whai raupapa—he wāhanga motuhake e hono ana ki te ara nui. I roto i ngā taupānga aroha ā-taurite pērā i Endless Romance, ka tukuna ngā wāhanga ki ngā wā, ngā kōwhiringa, me ngā cliffhanger hei akiaki i te tere o te pānui me te kaha o te kaitākaro.
Ko te wāhanga e wehewehe ana i tētahi kōrero nui ki ngā wāhanga iti kua tukua ki te raupapa. Ia wāhanga he wāhanga arotahi ki tētahi scene motuhake (tutaki ātaahua, tētahi tauto, tētahi hurihanga, taua wā aroha), ā, he maha ngā kōwhiringa whai kiko mō te pānui, ā, he here ētahi wā, he cliffhanger hoki hei akiaki i te haere tonu. E rerekē te roa o ngā wāhanga mai i te poto (500–1,500 kupu) ki te wāhanga roa ake (3,000+ kupu) — ā, ka taea te whakarārangi ki ngā wāhanga, ki ngā wāhanga o te pūrongo. I roto i ngā hōputu ā-taea, ko ngā wāhanga e hangaia kia taurite te whanaketanga o ngā tangata, ngā kōwhiringa peka, me te ngunguru o te pūrongorongo kia noho pūmāhaki te pānui ki te pūrongonga e haere tonu.

FAQ
How long should an episode be?
There’s no strict rule—short episodes (5–10 minutes of reading) work well for mobile-first audiences, while longer episodes suit deeper scenes. Choose length that serves pacing: end episodes at meaningful beats rather than arbitrary word counts.
Are episodes the same as chapters?
They’re similar but not identical. 'Chapter' is a traditional literary unit; 'episode' emphasizes serialized delivery and is often designed around a single emotional or choice-driven beat tailored for release and engagement.
Can episodes stand alone or do I need to read from the start?
Some episodes can be enjoyed as stand-alone vignettes, but most serialized romance builds on previous episodes—reading in order gives the best emotional payoff and preserves the impact of choices.
How many episodes make a season or complete story?
Seasons commonly range from 6 to 20 episodes depending on story scope. A complete story might be a single short season or multiple seasons; plan around major arcs (setup, complication, climax, resolution) and break them into episode-sized beats.
