I am a woman in love, with soft point in my heart for bosses.

Formerly a fan of:
 * J-horror, K-horror and other Asian horrors
 * manga and anime (especially horrors)
 * Higurashi no Naku Koro ni universe (animangames)
 * noir detective stories (Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald, known also as Big Trio or Father, Son and Spirit)
 * PC games, mostly RPG and RTS
 * Forgotten Realms: Baldur's Gate Saga, Icewind Dale Saga, Planescape Torment
 * DOS games
 * silly flash games online
 * cell phone games, mostly RPG and RTS
 * ...and I don't know what future holds for me yet.

Favourite genres: Least favourite genre: Things I hate:
 * horror, thriller, mystery, crime, historical fiction, fantasy, sci-fi
 * forced romance (you HAVE TO romance someone, even if you don't desire any of them)
 * ending with forced marriage (you HAVE TO marry someone, even if you want to stay single)
 * and often with forced pregnancy and/or forced babies (even if you want to use contraception)
 * bullies of all kind

Favourite:


 * A Courtesan of Rome - Historically unprofessional in many ways: twisted historical facts, incorrect Latin, political correctness in Ancient world... but there's a certain interesting character allowing you playing with fire. Also, Main Character gives me slight impression of a lady from a story below...
 * The Crown & The Flame - one of very first books, with archaic interface, where you have no chance to customize your character, and you can only play with premade characters... But this story is just great, fully rewarding this minor discomfort. Every character, even minor, is refined in detail. And the main heroine is simultaneously pretty, strong and clever, what is rare combination in Choices' universe.
 * Most Wanted - despite very limited choices, it's great story with cool main characters... their guts, the banters they share, are priceless.
 * The Elementalists - very interesting and innovative book, where you can choose not only your gender, but also your orientation (hetero-, homo-, bi- or asexual). Unlike other "school books" like The Freshman or High School Story, I don't have to find a "love for life" just to go to school ball with a partner... I can fully concentrate on my studies and adventures without distractions. Only one minus: archaic spelling of magic. This magick literally hurts my eyes.
 * Blades of Light and Shadow - it's too early for me to judge the whole book, but for sure it has a potential.

Liked:

Mixed feelings: Least favourite books, played only for diamonds:
 * Open Heart - Minuses: medically unprofessional and implausible, very predictable plot containing worst possible cliches, frequent Deus ex machina effect, immature and bratty interns, childish and naive MC, bullies and haters. Pluses: a certain venerable teacher, whom I just love wholeheartedly - I sincerely prefer him over all available LIs.
 * Perfect Match - another part of good job. Only one minus: why the main character gets into the whole shady business, while they have an ideal partner at their side already? I've chosen him in a moment he spoke...
 * It Lives In The Woods - touching story about friendship, family bonds, and sacrifice. Also: good horror with kind of karmic punishment...
 * It Lives Beneath - similar climate to above.
 * Bloodbound - the very first book I played, so I might be biased... Great music, and I really like Adrian and Kamilah.
 * Veil of Secrets - my second book, so I might be biased too... Good music and climatic start, despite bland end.
 * Rules of Engagement series - Minuses: forced LIs, forced marriage, forced pregnancy... Forced MC, who's intolerably dull, impersonal, foolish, immature, judgmental... and looks more like a frog instead of a princess (red cheeks, small eyes, big nose and frog lips, especially when she's sulking). PB doesn't help her at all with mismatched haircuts and clothes apparently stolen from Salvation Army's container... Pluses: multiple points of view; adoptable animals; MC's siblings and cousin - despite their flaws, all of them are more interesting than MC. However, I'd like to match them better...
 * The Freshman series - Minuses: hardly interesting plot, bratty idiots thinking only about boozing and screwing instead of studying, certain... witch and her airheaded sidekick, some nerdy boy (but too caricatural to be my type). Forced LI, at least in the first books. Pluses: certain pain in the arse - he is a bully, but still I'd rather romance him than bland nerd, dull jock and brazen hussy... What a relief, in later books I'm allowed to be single.
 * High School Story - The Freshman for good kids. Minuses: Forced LI (at least in two first books), no Asian models for MC, forced and very limited activities: sport, cheer and music - I'm super not interested in any of them, since I'm a nerdy couch-potato, and my only artistic skill is drawing... In High School Story: Class Act - even more limited activity, hardly interesting plot, MC and their sibling are surrounded by bullies, stalkers and morons... Pluses: adoptable animals, choosable MC's gender, no forced LI.
 * Passport to Romance - ...And the foreordained comes true, and the portals open wide...Yawn open wide... Where's my spell book?... I abhor to touch it even for diamonds.
 * Home for the Holidays - another Yawn open wide. Only one plus: you have option to romance your boss. But he's just mere shadow of his potential, and the other characters are even weaker... Played only for diamonds.
 * Ride or Die: A Bad Boy Romance - story of a spoiled teenage princess from a good family, who cheats on her loving father, with a bunch of scoundrels. Her father is a typical Miami Vice hero (except we are in the City of Angels): hardworking, honest, brave, loyal, caring, forgiving, able to sacrifice. On the other side we have a disfunctional so-called "family" consisting of brutal, remorselsess criminals, or at least socially disabled kids with no future... But our little princess, having some romantic ideas from Disney's Lady and the Tramp, has a real dilemma whom to follow!...

Special for me:
 * Open Heart

My bitter and cynical relation to Open Heart is very personal. I was also bullied, and later slandered and framed, what ended with losing medical license by me. However, MC paid for their own deeds, while I was innocent (I wouldn't have guts to mess with patients).

It started from unfair competition; my rival intern flirted with male attendings in purpose to boost her career in fast way - and, unfortunately for me, it worked, because some of these attendings actually had their brains in their pants... They favoured that little slut, openly flirting with her and allowing her to most lucrative procedures, which she shouldn't normally perform because of her inexperience - she was newbie like me at this time (December 2015/January 2016).

I started to resist this unequality, and in result I got bullied. They started to abuse me verbally and emotionally. They discredited and humiliated me also in the presence of paramedics and patients. They started to blame me for mistakes they made during surgeries. They also neglected their duties as teachers. They turned my senile puppet boss against me, so he didn't react when I was reporting him what was happening, nor even if bullying happened in his very eyes. Later he started abusing me too, because he was an opportunist and always sided with stronger ones.

At the peak of conflict (Autumn 2017), the bullies accused me before Medical Chamber of crime I didn't commit, while they didn't have any proof. They defamed me also in the whole city, spreading lies about me to other hospitals where I had external internships. Just in case if I told any doctors elsewhere about pathologies in my primary hospital.

Their accusation wouldn't stand a chance in every court, but Medical Chamber wasn't normal court... The bullies pulled some strings - my puppet boss was friend of Medical Chamber's Chairman, and his deputy was a member of Medical Chamber Council. I was convicted by Medical Chamber via cangaroo court, without fair and square trial nor proof for of my alleged crimes - only "evidence" was testimony of the bullies.

And the one who mastered the whole plot, who incited others to gang up against me, was person whom I considered as friend. She was the next deputy and later next boss. She was damn good actress, deceiving and manipulating me and others the whole time. She played her role nearly till the end, then openly backstabbed me.

My only crime was that I dared to told other departments' consultants about bullying in my ward and my own boss turning blind eye. Some snitch of a nurse, who had her training in the same place at the same time, told the bullies that I dared to turn them in, so they got their revenge by framing me before Medical Chamber.

After this cangaroo court, I was robbed from everything (May 2018): my job, residency and right to practice as a doctor. I can't even go to another country, because I am now "proscribed" as a doctor in the whole European Union.

Many characters in Open Heart are painfully similar to my backstabbing "colleagues" who are unworthy calling themselves "doctors". That's why I'm so strict when judging them.

I've lost in the court of first instance. But I'll fight till the Strasbourg if I have to.
