Most people feel they've "finished" a book when they read the last page (for better or for worse!). They know what it means to be "halfway done." What does it mean to "finish" a mnemonic essay? We've been working on a progress mechanic that's coupled with a storytelling system.

(It's surprisingly challenging to tell a coherent story when readers will reach different "beats" at different times, or sometimes not at all! We're finding ourselves needing something like the Inform 7 skein!)
