 * Many series have spanned for a total of three books to create trilogies, examples including The Crown & The Flame, and Rules of Engagement (not including Newlyweds). Newer series that concluded with a third book include Endless Summer. Some series do actually span for more than three books, including The Freshman, and Rules of Engagement (including Newlyweds).
 * Despite the above fact, some series do not receive trilogies, and instead are confined to two books, #LoveHacks being the best example of this, and most recently the Perfect Match series. However, there are some stories that are contained within a single book, such as The Haunting of Braidwood Manor, Home for the Holidays, Veil of Secrets, A Courtesan of Rome, The Heist: Monaco. Across the Void, and Passport to Romance. Most Wanted isn't listed as it is set to have a sequel but is on an indefinite hiatus, as is Hero.
 * Some books allow the player to make their character either male or female. The first instance of this was Endless Summer, Book 1. During the process of creating one's character, the game suggests gender neutral names such as Jordan, Alex, and Taylor.
 * The game is noted for its frequent inclusion of LGBT+ characters. Currently, not counting characters on miscellaneous character pages, of the total characters seen throughout the game so far,  characters are members of the LGBT+ community. With some games letting your character be male or female, some are unconfirmed. The first character to be revealed as gay was Zack. The first character revealed to be lesbian was Kaitlyn. The first character revealed to be bisexual depends on player choices, and can range from Your Character in The Freshman series, to Kenna Rys. The first character currently revealed as transgender was Andy and Cameron as the first non-binary character. The first asexual/aromantic character is Zeph.
 * Pixelberry maintains Choices at a PG-14 rating. Besides expressions like "b*tch and b**tard, more explicit language such as "a**" is used in several series, LoveHacks, The Royal Romance, Big Sky Country, and Bloodbound being just four examples. The first series to make use of strong language is Most Wanted, while others, Rules of Engagement for instance, censor the use of explicit language.
 * The chapter titles of several books follow specific themes such as The Sophomore books naming their titles after popular songs, the #LoveHacks series mimicking typical "Buzzfeed" clickbait article titles, and the Endless Summer series naming their titles after specific quotes in the respective chapters.
 * The idea that all of Choices' series take place in one common universe is strengthened many times in the series through locations / characters appearing in different series than their own, as well as confirmed family bonds between characters of different series and eras. Examples are Kaitlyn appearing in The Haunting of Braidwood Manor, Ryan Summers from Most Wanted appearing frequently in other series, and Zenobia Nevrakis from The Crown & The Flame being the ancestor of Olivia Nevrakis from The Royal Romance.
