User blog comment:StoryGirl83/Diamond Choices I'm Working Toward By Series/@comment-3452092-20190119173749/@comment-3452092-20190315125818

Almost two months later, I ended up skipping The Heist: Monaco for now. I'll get back to it at some point, but for now other things took priority, namely Across the Void which will be back Monday and The Elemenatalists, Book 2 which will be starting in less than six hours.

I spent a good chunk of the last two months on both of these two series. I still have several diamond choices in Across the Void, but I bought a lot of them. I was suprised how non love interest the majority of the love interest scenes were and in a way, kind of annoyed. Most of them that I have purchased are a lot of the get to know you stuff with a near the end choice to spend extra time with a love interest if you want that should have been free, at the very least some of it should have been. The price isn't too bad for most of them, but seriously, we shouldn't have to pick between getting to know half of our crew or the other half. My annoyance over this doesn't make me love the story any less, but then I always knew this was an issue. I just accepted it and moved on and now I know that a lot of it was paywalled, but in a way were we cannot in one playthrough get to know all of our crew. There were, that I recall, no places where we just spent time with all members of the crew and the MC spends almost no time with Holmes, none that I can recall with Zaniah, and very little with Argo and Corvus, all members of his/her crew.

My current plan is basically just focus all diamonds at these two series. With new diamonds stuff, I think I have enough to allow for two diamond purchases from each book per week. I will, at least for a little while, still be replaying Across the Void every week, so if I don't find two things in the newest chapter, I might pick up another in an earlier chapter. In addition to this, I also plan to restart The Elemenalists, Book 1 once. . . well, this evening. I will be going through it slowly, picking up all diamond options of a certain kind per playthrough. My first plan for that is all Zeph and Aster diamond choices. I might pick up the Professor Swan scenes, too. We'll see. I already have all the spells and all the desk items along with several of the Beckett scenes, a couple of Atlas ones, and one Zeph one. Once I have all the things listed, I will go after Griffin and/or Shreya scenes, but I'm sure that will be quite a ways down the line and I might move on to other things in the mean time or spluge on just those for a bit or use diamonds from Across the Void once the book ends. It really depends. And I do have a lot of other books I wants to get diamonds for such as my next round of diamond scenes from The Crown & The Flame series which I'm mixing with some weapons and another round of scenes and maybe a couple of the cheaper outfits from The Royal Romance series. I want that Coney Island scene, but other things keep being of more importance to me, so maybe in a couple months that series will have it's turn, again.
