I've been following this strategy for the last couple of months, specially with series that I love(d) and I think are criticized a lot on social media: HSS:CA, NB, AtV and PtR.

I've always said that the majority of people aren't vocal and I guess I've always been right seeing the latest releases on Choices.

I'm against not speding keys just because a book is female only. I'd prefer to have the option to choose the gender of my MC, but I always give the story a try. If I enjoy it, I'll continue playing it (ROD's case) and speding diamonds if I feel like they deserve it (Platinum's and WT's cases). If I don't like it, I drop it and don't even spend keys on it (Sunkissed's, BP's, RCD's, BB's and TRH's cases).

I don't really post on social media and rarely come into the wikia anymore because I think a lot of the comments are toxic on those environments. People have such a strong opinion and the way they voice it, it feels like I'm pressured to agree with them and I'm wrong for enjoying something most people hate or that I'm wrong for disliking something most people love.

I admit that I made some harsh comments trying to defend somethings that I care about in Choices and added on the toxic environment.

Nowadays, I just comment directly on the app to let them know I'm loving a story, how I loved a finished book and about characters that I really like and wouldn't mind seeing as a LI. I also sometimes like some tweet from the writers to let them know I enjoyed something they did on Choices and that they're talking about on Twitter.
