Talk:A Courtesan of Rome/@comment-34049573-20181103045155

Warning: candid opinion ahead.

Ah, yes, another Choices book where we can play only as female; so much for gender equality. And as always, the cover art looks like fanart from a desperate shipper who thinks the only thing between the mind of a man and a woman is hot steamy romance. How audacious of PB to have the MC as, to put it bluntly, a prostitute seeking attention from a handful of men and women. Desperate for romance much?

Anyway, here're my predictions for whatever ACoR is about, assuming PB lost all creativity:

1. It will be like TRR where you'll be vying for the affection of the cover LI, who's probably the Emperor's relative or a gladiator champion, but in Rome. Anyway, he's going to be shoved right into your face just like Adam. 2. There will be a Five Kingdoms reference sooner or later. 3. The cover LI will be the kind, gentle, brave, athletic Prince Charming, just like Adrian, Sean, Dom, Liam, Grayson, Emerson, Caleb, and Chris. His rival will be the rebel bad boy like Jax, Jake, Diavolos, Drake, Kenji, Flynn, Michael, and Zig. He'll probably be a very unpopular gladiator or some commoner. 4. The female LI will be the MC's bestie, like Parsons, Kate, Hana, Lily Spencer, and Emma. She might be a fellow "courtesan" or a gladiator. If there is a second female LI, the bestie will be the kind, sweet emotional, friendly one, like the aforementioned, Annelyse, and Quinn. The second will be the impulsive, alcohol-loving don't-mess-with-me badass (or any combination of those) like Naomi, Kamilah, Maria, Val, and Estela. 5. The first diamond choice will be 15 💎 rather than 12 because PB is greedy. It will most likely be an outfit. 6. Collectibles! Everywhere! Burn those wallets, people.

Keep those new books coming, PB. Ignore our pleas for MW2 and just keep telling new stories with the same plot. We'll never get tired of the romance section.

Well, that's my honest opinion and predictions. Feel free to lambaste me for speaking my mind.
