Hi, Paulo!
In this case, "entertaining" and "cute" are two of the types of words that a reader might use to describe how they feel when they read a story. There are many other words which could be chosen, as well.
These words do not describe the type of story which was written (science fiction, comedy, romance, action, etc), but they simply give us an idea of how good / acceptable the reader found the story to be.
It is possible that a story which entertains you may make you scream, but not laugh (a horror novel/book). And it is possible that a story that you feel is cute may not be entertaining (someone talking about their pet cat for 3 hours).
"Entertaining" means that the story was enjoyed by the person who read it. That word tells us that the reader was not filled with boredom; that they did not fall asleep while reading. Sometimes, it may be used with other words to express more pleasure, such as: "The story was extremely entertaining."
"Cute" is an expression that can mean that the reader thought the story was clever and/or charming, but not particularly special. It may have made the reader smile, but was not exciting to them.

All stories should be entertaining or they're not very good stories.
A cute story isn't really a specific category of story, but rather a story that is 'cute'. I guess a story written for toddlers about fairies could be called cute.

In my opinion, entertaining story means a story which amuses you, increases your mood. Cute story means a good sweet story, for instance love story.
