It’s a very broad question and there isn’t a hard and fast rule but if you haven’t read What I Learned from Playing Every ChoiceScript Game and How I Made My Stats Better I very much recommend them, they’re fantastic food for thought. In general I would say play lots of games and get a feel for what you like and don’t like, what feels intuitive, and whether you hit points where you think “hey, this stat felt useless”, “wait, don’t these stats mean the same thing”, “oh no, I keep failing at things and I don’t understand why”, etc.
