User blog comment:DisturbedDeaddMan/Why I Lost Interest and Excitment for Any New Release (Personal Opinion)/@comment-24378197-20190224051447

I agree with you that Choices has worsened as of late. The only 2018 books that I genuinely like are VoS, ILB, TE (until Chapter 9), PM (though Book 2 is less stellar than Book 1), and TH:M. AME is somewhat enjoyable, but I don't like the premium option to pay 15 to 50 diamonds as a last-ditch effort to win. BSC is supposed to be relaxing, but I hate that Sawyer Oakley's forced on the MC while the other three are shoved aside. D&D could've been better, and so does ACoR. BB and HSS:CA are okay. ATV, RCD, and RoD are utter messes, and the last two are lost causes.

My problem with Pixelberry is that it's mismanaging what limited time and resources they have. Sure they don't have everything to cater to everyone, but that doesn't excuse them derailing whole storylines in favor of milking their cash cows. This post is spot-on regarding the writers' mishandling of AME, particularly on Mackenzie and Ivy. This post is another good counterargument to Andrew Shvarts's string of tweets. After reading them and Shvarts's tweets, I agree with the counterarguments more.
