User blog:General Khor/Favourite Love Interests: A or B Edition

Hello and welcome to another discussion blog by General Khor, and in this blog, I'll be revealing the results for my latest round of LI polls. If you haven't checked out my previous LI poll results, it's all here.

If you're wondering about the title of this blog, that's because all the series that I'm going to cover here have only two LIs, so the choices are just one or the other. I know some of you think just 2 LIs isn't good enough, in case players don't like any of them, but I think as long as we can choose our LI, that's already good enough. That's right, anything's better than having only one LI, for that means no choice at all. Alright, without further ado, let's get into it.

Poll Results
As usual, since not every book provides the option to be single or with everyone, these votes will be excluded.

LI choice for The Royal Masquerade (151 votes)

 * Hunter: 76 votes (50%)
 * Kayden: 75 votes (50%)

It was almost a clean split, but the winner by one vote is... Hunter! Maybe my vote is the tiebreaker, as I pictured us ruling over Cordonia with Hunter in the end, since he's the regent, too bad we had to lose, since the devs had planned on making King Liam a Rys. I wonder how long they've planned that, really.

LI choice for Baby Bump (144 votes)

 * Clint: 47 votes (33%)
 * Dixon: 97 votes (67%)

Guess what, the forced LI effect was defied again. Clint may be the father of our children, but he only snagged a third of the votes. Like I said, this is what happens when you force an LI on us, especially since the very beginning, so take that, PB!

LI choice for Queen B (170 votes)

 * Kingsley: 112 votes (66%)
 * Zoey: 58 votes (34%)

Well, the forced LI effect worked on this story. As for me, I fought my hardest to avoid Kingsley, yet I still got expelled. In fact, I feel like the devs wanted to get us expelled. Yes, they wanted to make us angry. Very angry. Very, VERY ANGRY! Seriously, don't you think so?

LI choice for Rising Tides (121 votes)

 * Robin: 90 votes (74%)
 * Cassidy: 31 votes (26%)

One question, is Robin the developers' desired date? Is that why nearly 3 quarters of you chose him/her? Or is it because of his/her personality? I guess I should do a poll to find out. As for me, I like Cassidy because s/he's willing to turn his/her back on his/her boss once s/he realises s/he's working for the wrong side.

LI choice for Wolf Bride (119 votes)

 * Bastien: 49 votes (41%)
 * Morgan: 70 votes (59%)

Yet again, fans refused to submit to PB's will when it comes to LI choice, most likely because Bastien's probably the most possessive LI in Choices history, and some argue that he's worse than even Ethan from Open Heart. Which brings the question: WHY has PB not learnt this lesson yet about not forcing undesirable LIs onto unwilling players?

LI choice for Slow Burn (145 votes)

 * Flynt: 97 votes (67%)
 * Navarro: 48 votes (33%)

Should I be surprised at this result? Of course not. After all, Flynt's the chef and we're his/her assistant. But what I don't like about Flynt is his/her fiery temper, not to mention s/he was ready to break up with us when s/he thought we were submitting to Zara's demands without asking us why, so I chose Navarro instead.

Conclusion
Like I said, as long as there is more than one LI, I'm ok with it. After all, LI choice is one of the most important, if not the most important thing that matters to the Choices fanbase, as without this choice, the story doesn't feel like a Choices story at all. Still, I hope we can have more multi-LI books in the future, so that the spirit of Choices can be kept alive.

So who is your LI in these series? What influences your choice of LIs? Let me know in the comments, and be sure to check out my year end review blog this Saturday. That's all for today, until then, this is General Khor. The end, and thank you for reading.
