Late to discussion but agree with a lot of your points.

I'm a female but the gender locking is definitely ridiculous. Stories with the male or female option don't seem to change much besides MC's appearance and pronouns. For instance in High School Story I've played through as both genders and even when you're a male you still get ready for prom with the girls. Since nothing major changes I can't imagine it's that hard to include. I guess the games with female locked MCs do reference that so perhaps that is what keeps PB away. Such as in The Freshman the plot involving Kaitlyn's sexuality wouldn't have worked with a male MC. I don't think that is a good enough reason not to have gender choice as those instances would be pretty small.

For an app that focuses a lot on romance it makes no sense that so much of the romance scenes with characters are locked behind a diamond ecrusted wall. Never spent money on the app and don't plan to so all my diamonds come from playing and saving up. On quite a few occasions I've stopped in the middle of a chapter and only returned when I've played enough other stories to be able to play the diamond scene. And on others I've just given up on seeing a scene and pressed on. I think the ads or daily sign in reward would be a nice option. Ads probably preferable to them since they can still make money that way. Who knows if anything will change though.
