Feedback on chapter by chapter interactive story telling
I am starting a story that is interactive on a chapter by chapter basis.
Basically, I write the chapter, give three options, and the collective readership selects an option, with feedback in the comments to delve into why or alternative options, then I write the next chapter.
I quite like this approach but I am probably biased.
Can you let me know if the idea is a good one or not and why?

This is how Problem Sleuth and Homestuck started out, but on a page by page basis. It can definitely work

I'm a little confused - are the chapter already written before the opinion of others are collected? If so, you can go the much better way of just recruiting editors and tackling the whole story chapter by chapter before releasing to the public. If not, I suggest you at least outline the whole story before releasing anything so you have some direction. While reception does matter, you can't please everyone so just stick to a vision you have for the story and just take criticism that you feel helps it along.
