A rebel, sharp-tongued witch, and the proud pirate of some distant trackers.

I love animals, especially cats and dogs, and cannot abide cruelty against them.

I like:


 * isometric RPG (Baldur's Gate Saga, Icewind Dale Saga, Planescape Torment, Fallout Saga etc.)
 * synthpop (De/Vision, Depeche Mode)
 * Asian horror (formerly)
 * manga & anime, mostly horror
 * isometric RTS (StarCraft & BroodWar, Age of Empires Saga, Theme Hospital etc.)
 * mobile RPG: Choices, Stories, What's Your Story and other Choices's clones

I hate (in Choices):


 * bullies of all kind
 * mistreatment of pregnant and birthing women
 * foolish and irritating behavior in MCs and LIs
 * forced: romance, marriage, sex, pregnancy and babies (by "forced" I mean "happening without or even against player's consent"), because such cases are the antitheses of choices, which name the game bears

Favourite books in Choices:


 * Blades of Light and Shadow - I love RPG, especially in Fantasy convention. Even if the book itself is indecently expensive (about 1000 diamonds, if you want to buy every premium choice possible). However, most choices are worthy of your diamonds: treasures, weapons and armors, additional companions, quests... even clothes, which are very few (unlike most books) but classy (again, unlike most books). And I'm grateful for marking romantic options - it's a valuable warning for non-romancers like me. Especially since our companions are interesting even without treating them as LI.
 * The Crown & The Flame - the first Fantasy-themed book in Choices' universe. Great story, music and scenery, interesting characters and their backgrounds and relationships. The fight system is quite difficult, too much timed choices for my taste, but thanks to the Walkthrough, I can actually survive... The series isn't cheap either, but each diamond choice is worthy the price. Very few flaws: main playable characters are already pre-made, and romance thread is forced (obligatory to finish the game).
 * A Courtesan of Rome - at first, I was afraid that would be another forced romance, worsened by forced sex scenes or strong sexual innuendos. I was positively surprised - it's a story about war and revenge. Moreover, neither sex, nor romance is forced on player who wants to complete the book - they are both optional and don't affect the main plot, what's quite rare in Choices universe.

Liked books:


 * Most Wanted - at first glance, I was afraid that book wouldn't be original. We had every trope: Dirty Harry cop, Philip Marlowe detective, the big bad guy who's both ugly and evil... Add the archaic interface and pre-made main characters (only customizable thing is... the victim's gender). But this book is surprisingly good. The first thing is that tr opes became polished to perfection, including inevitable clash between two strong characters. The second thing is the background and secondary characters. Also, cute adoptable animal appears.
 * The Elementalists - interesting book about contemporary fantasy. And the first book where PixelBerry admit that there exist people who are asexual and/or aromantic. First book when we can turn off someone's unwanted advances... in advance. More books with that option, please. Although they might improve their orthography - I mean this terrible spelling magick.
 * It Lives Series - real creepy horror series with a feeling of karmic justice. Also, story about sacrifice and power of friendship.

Others:


 * Open Heart - I have mixed feelings towards this series. Positives are that I can relate to some pathological relations in medical environment (unhealthy competition, bullying, gossiping and even slandering, career chasing, residents romancing superiors). I saw many of it, and even suffered for speaking too much about it... Negative thing is lack of reality, not only in human behavior, but also in human biology.
 * Perfect Match
 * Bloodbound - I won't lie, I had very high expectations from this book. The first book was really good indeed.
 * Rules of Engagement
 * The Royal Romance
