Heat levels: how hot each Candy short drama runs
The candy shorts heat level here is a number from one to five computed from data, not from our mood. Spicy series are always level five. Open series get a dialogue score from the words spoken in their free episodes, and fixed thresholds turn that score into a level. It describes themes and talk only, never acts or bodies, so you can pick the temperature of an evening without reading a single spoiler.
The methodComputed by our build from data, never set by hand.
| 5 Spicy | Spicy title: Candy Premium from Act I |
| 4 Very hot | dialogue score 30 or more |
| 3 Hot | score 15 to 29 |
| 2 Warm | score 5 to 14 |
| 1 Slow burn | score under 5 |
The dialogue score counts flirt words, words about sex and explicit words in the subtitles of the free acts, weighs them one, two and three, and divides by the minutes, on a scale from 0 to 100.
How the level is computed
Spicy series are Candy's own adult tier and need Premium from the first episode, so they all sit at the top level, five. There is nothing to calculate for them.
Open series are scored on their dialogue. We take the subtitles of the free episodes and count words in three groups. Flirting words weigh one, words about sex weigh two and explicit words weigh three. Dividing that total by the minutes of video gives a score between zero and one hundred.
Then fixed thresholds decide the level. A very low score is level one, the lowest band. A slightly higher one is level two, a middle score is level three and a high score is level four. The thresholds never move, and they do not change from series to series, so two series with the same score always get the same level. The method box on this page shows the exact limits.
What it does and does not tell you
It tells you how much of the talk in the free episodes is flirty, suggestive or blunt, per minute. It is a good guide to tone. A series at the lowest band is mostly plot and banter, while a series near the top of the open range talks about as openly as the open series get.
It does not tell you what happens on screen, and we never describe the scenes. It also only reads the free episodes, because those are the ones we can see without paying, so a later act may turn warmer or cooler than the opener suggests. The chart shows how many series sit at each level.
It is not a rating, a review or an age check. Every character is an adult and made by AI, and the service itself is meant for grown-ups only. Treat the level as a thermostat dial, nothing more.
