Evaluated evidence on storylet design is thin: Short (2019) states a structural cost (time caves are the most annoying structure to build with storylets because every piece of content depends on the exact route taken); the LLM storylet framework Drama Llama reports only a six-participant preliminary authoring study (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 paper).
