So once again, Pixelberry has shown their greed and made it so you only get the 15 diamonds for completing a book for the first time.

On top of removing the 100 ads a day AND the book passes.

And on top of laying off so many of their employees and replacing them with AI.

Absolutely positively wholeheartedly with my WHOLE chest, fuck Pixelberry and fuck what the app has become.

Literally me reading this

I can't believe I'd forgotten that older Choices books didn't used to label romantic dialogue choices. Now I remember it was a game of Russian roulette with how some characters would perform mental gymnastics to interpret perfectly neutral dialogue as flirty.

Funny (but not really). DNH is supposed to take place in Philadelphia and the background image above was generated specifically for that book. Yet the AI added a shoddy Chrysler building in the background and no-one at PB thought to edit it out 🤨. The company's attention to detail has been simply impeccable lately.

Another thing I miss about old Choices: how nonsensical some of the timed choice answers were 😭 they’d always have like one or two normal ones and then a really stupid one. It’s like its own special form of humor.

There’s a giant boulder rolling down the hill headed straight toward you!

-Crouch down and suck earthworms out of the dirt!

-Jump out of the way!

If the series has 3+ installments, it doesn’t have to be that every book surpassed the original, just that at least one did.

choices murder mystery where you are the murderer and the side characters + love interests have to figure out who killed the victim, and there could be 2-3 different endings depending on how good you are at hiding clues

so, guys! i'm curious...

please feel free to expand your answer in the replies or in tags, i would love to know! also would love to know, if you rename your mcs, what criteria do you use when looking for a name? or maybe you always play self inserts and name them after yourself? idk, let me know!

I'm thinking Queen B for sure would have been single LI as it clearly was set up for the professor only and Zoey was an obvious addition to the cast of LI

Maybe Baby Bump? If it was made today, I could see them forcing the plot so that you fall in love with the baby daddy, you know.

Same with Laws of Attraction, I could see them only having Gabe as a love interest if it was made today

What are some Choices books that you feel if they came out today, they’d probably be single LI books? Because I've given it some thought and I'd say some of them might have been:

The Royal Romance: Would have absolutely been a Liam-only book (I’ve talked about this a bunch in the past), so you’d end up marrying the heir to the throne, Liam/Lia instead, and honestly it would’ve probably worked out better for the writers in the long run if they were only going for a specific narrative instead of trying to force the one-arc-fits-all thing most players have complained about in the series at some point.

Ride-or-Die: Not only is MC’s attraction to Logan something that sets off the story, but I also can’t imagine Colt or Mona being love interests following how modern books are. Don’t know what f!Logan would be called, though.

Save the Date: I mentioned this once before, but I think it would’ve been a Justin book which would’ve leaned harder into a “forbidden romance”, but I imagine this book having come out in their affairs era because it would have been the epitome of the stuff PB loved back then: an LI who’s MC’s “boss” and also I maintain that they would’ve made Justin/Justine the one having the wedding, and of course you’d end up breaking them and their fiancée up, so there’s that other component PB was obsessed with. But since that wave of books seems to have ended (abated?), then the engagement/fiancée arc possibly wouldn’t be a thing today, but there’s every chance they’d still throw in a gf to be MC’s rival as a subplot.

I also wonder if they’d have made Open Heart a single LI book (they practically did anyway) but the thing about OH is that it’s not mandatorily a romance book, so for that they’d have had to make the romance a main part of the story.

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

But at the same time! Are there any recent(ish) Choices books that you feel would have been multiple LI books in the past? Because I’ve got thoughts about that, too, but the only thing I've got so far is:

Crimes of Passion: Ruby and Luke would’ve absolutely been romanceable, and they’d have been a bigger part of the story for it, too. The MC x Trystan romance doesn’t really play a crucial role until b2 anyway, and everything that happened in b1 could’ve been accomplished with them as good friends as well. Trystan would’ve still been the main LI, just not the only one.

And then sometimes I've wondered if TCH (b1 at least, if they hadn't planned it as a series) would have let you choose whether you ended up with Kieran or a Sun Court LI (potentially Radiance if they weren't a traitor and dead—moreso because of the dead part because even as a traitor they could've had the same b2 arc they gave Aerin in Blades 2, since Radiance is already a copy of b1 Aerin), but idk, probably not, since the series hinges so much on Kieran being in love with MC and them having that Beauty and the Beast thing going on.
