Normally I don't want to assume that a genderlocked book is horrible by default, but many of my least favorite ones happen to be that way. As you've said, the main problem isn't because they're genderlocked, but because they're weakly executed. Bloodbound's an exception, and even so it has a flimsy reason to be genderlocked.

Regarding which options to spend diamonds on, it depends on my objective regardless of book. I try to avoid the ones that offer little to no substance, however.

As for the upcoming series, I'm the most excited for Nightbound, in part because it will have gender options and the story's ads are intriguing. Still unsure of WT, though it could surprise me. Sunkissed comes across as forgettable based on the premise alone, and it being genderlocked doesn't surprise me. I'm worried Platinum will be RCD 2.0 because we'll play as another newbie rising to fame, and the lack of gender options gives me another reason to be annoyed.
