a little confession from me:

There are certain book series I don't wanna play. More or less because of the bad reviews I've been hearing about. Characters turning really bad in later books or out of character. Plots becoming shit or makes no sense.

which makes me sad bc I really loved some book series, but somehow, this is what stops me from finishing it. I just end up pretending that moment didn't happen, and it ended there. but miss out on certain plot points.

or I have to finish this bad book just to get to the best one right after.

it was good for a while...

I’m not sure if anyone in the fandom here has mentioned it, but apparently pixelberry released a new game (only in New Zealand for now). It’s called Choices: Stories you play. The photo was posted on the forums by lala, which is where I found out about it. Maybe this is why they’ve been neglectful and money hungry with hwu recently? Because they’re trying to start up another game. Apparently it’s sort of a mix of surviving high school and episode. There’s a bit more info on the hss forum if your interested.

Hi, I know I've been gone for a while (irl stuff happening) but I couldn't help but come back because I saw some shit on Twitter

Such as why the fuck is Choices using AI?

This did not fucking age well.

My goal for Dorothy is to pick the platonic relationships route because she’s aromantic. Flirty yes but no romance at all.

genuinely need a whole collection, a doc, or something to talk about the Choices universe. Like what's real or not. Cuz we know The Flame and Crown is a show, Most Wanted is a game, Filthy Rich and Witness aren't real either, parts of some 17+ books.

Then there are things like America's Most Eligible, It Lives, Nightboound, and Royal Romance that happen in the same universe.

I actually took the time to try Episodes for a change. It was actually fun? At least some stories were enjoyable. Some were predictable and some didn't make much sense but I played with it anyway.

I have a bunch of mcs already.

Not gonna lie, I'm still hung up on High School Story and its ending. And the fact that I can't play that app anymore ._.

I still wonder why the MC from the OG game graduated ahead from the others.

I'd honestly love to play another story of High School Story, but from the pov of the OG MC before they graduated. Seeing how everything used to be before shit got bad. A nicer and younger Brian maybe. A young Michael cameo. Just hanging out with the OG gang.

Besides Distant Shores and ILITW having fanmade sequels, what other fanmade choices books have sequels? 🤔

*slaps* this baby can fit so much trauma--

Rei Nakano, my MC for It Lives Within.

Thinking of replaying The Heist Monaco and trying out a different LI and maybe a different crew.

Anyway, my last pick was Sonia so I might go for Rye this time. I love enemies to lovers but I'm also a sucker for childhood best friends to lovers 🤔

looking through some old profile oc drafts and laid my eyes on Dorothy and holy shit I'm getting terrible flashbacks from playing Red Carpet Diaries

[a-small-jollydolly]

Should I try Episode? I heard that was pretty popular besides Choices. I've seen the crazy ads from it too.

[a-small-jollydolly]

honestly don't know what to post nowadays. A lot of the Choices stories don't appeal to me anymore but I'm happy that BOLAS 2 came out and Murder at Homecoming seems pretty interesting so I think I'll give it a shot. I haven't tried or gotten far with other stories yet like Distant Shores so I'll do those too.

Also, I've actually been playing this game called It Lives Within which is a non-canon book 3 for the It Lives series made by @itlivesproject 👀 I'm already pretty far in the game and I love it.

*coughs*

holy shit this place is dusty af

[a-small-jollydolly]

Hi there folks, sorry for the radio silence. I haven’t really been too interested in the new stories on Choices so I’ve just kinda been replaying some old favorites to relieve the boredom and trying out different routes.
