Perhaps you should have a "Trie of stories" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie).

Users could mark down notable places on the trie where there is a story.

Many great books would be contained within, but it would be impossible to differentiate them from books that devolve into pure noise halfway through. http://hyperdiscordia.crywalt.com/library_of_babel.html http://hyperdiscordia.crywalt.com/library_of_babel.html
