I don't know what you're looking for here, but Hi! :)

The GOAT Tier
'''Endless Summer: Probably PB's most complex story ever written! So many interesting and likable characters, great art style and soundtrack, so many amazing plot twists! Few negatives that I do have are: The story is so complex to the point it's sometimes hard to follow what's going on, you can easily get confused, it doesn't help that the a lot of story details are paywalled behind the diamonds, which sometimes can leave a hole in the story. The Friendship indicator feature is unique and I do like it, but sometimes it comes across as annoying. You would get a points with a character and at the same time, lose points with the other one. Oh, and all three of the endings are rather underwhelming.'''

'''It Lives Anthology: Hands down my favorite series! As a massive horror fan, I just have to adore it! Everything in it is amazing! From story, to characters, to plot twists! I don't really find it scary, like at all, but that's not a book's problem. It's just me, I have high scare tolerance considering how much horror movies I watched. I do have a similar problem to it as a ES. Parts of the story are paywalled. It's also quiet an expensive series, with you having to spend a lot of diamonds on helping your friends keeping their nerve high. I'm never going to get over it not having a third book.'''

'''The Crown and The Flame: Simply amazing! There isn't that much I could add! Oh Kenna, you'll be rolling in your grave if you knew what has Cordonia turned into. You did not unite Five Kingdoms for this!'''

'''Blades of Light and Shadow: Perfection! This book is perfection! I needed this in my life! This book single handedly carried Choices in 2020, it's back must hurt like hell! Where do I even start. The visuals and music are amazing, the story is interesting, the characters and LI's are all likable and badass, gender of choice, everything about this is amazing! Only two problems, it's an expensive book. Tho, that's a game problem in general, and not just this book problem, and second, everything is portrayed in black and white. There's literally no morally gray characters, everyone is either completely good or completely evil. For example, Aerin would have been a perfect character for that, he acknowledges what he's doing is wrong, but still does it because he has no other choice. He's already a really boring character and could have made him more interesting. I also heard from some people that this is an incredibly basic and generic fantasy story, which I can't neither confer nor deny so you be a judge of that.'''

'''Wake the Dead: This is on it's way to become my new favorite book in the entire game! It's so good! The action is amazing, CGI's and visuals are freaking phenomenal, our choices actually matter (You know the state of the game when it's a positive that our choices matter, It's not like it's in the title), it has four LI's, let me repeat that F O U R LI's (Don't think I was ever this torn between 2 LI's), it's a gender of choice, uh, I just love it so much! Is it a perfect book? No, simply because I don't think any piece of Media could ever be perfect. I said BOLAS was perfection simply for dramatic effects. Now, why is the book not perfect, strap in, cause we're in for a ride.'''

'''1.The chapters are incredibly repetitive, we've been doing the same thing from chapter 2. Main characters go to a place, people give them trouble, they make a deal, get attacked by zombies, then do that deal and the problem is solved. I know that's a common trope in zombie media, but they didn't have to follow it to a T. '''

'''2.The characters that we do meet at those places, while are interesting and I like them, there's way to many of them and they bearably contribute to the story. The crew from the Sunflower Creek are easily my least favorite one's. They remind of those Twitter users which are like "Every life matters.", "They are no better then us." #ProLife, etc. These people are made fun of and nobody takes them seriously, yet they're written 100% serious here. WE'RE In A FREAKING ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE! That argument is invalid! I hate that I have to take care of them, every time they open they're mouth I'm like, Please just shut up. I don't care. They're also incredibly hypocritical! They have a problem with killing zombies, but not as long as it benefits them. I'd rather throw them to the zombies ngl. '''

'''3.The villain at the end being Zombie Queen is not doing it for me. What makes zombie apocalypse stories interesting is how people choose to survive, and reevaluate their moral compasses according to the world around them, and not the zombies themselves. While the types of zombies we did get were interesting, some of them were legit terrifying. It wasn't what I wanted to see. '''

'''4.Dirk betraying us was so soap drama level of predictable, but that's not what I have a problem with. He's supposed to be unlikable, and they did a great job with that, but some of his points legit made sense. MC is careless and should make decisions based on logic, not emotion. The narrative showed him as having a point, so why are we putting him in the wrong so much?'''

'''5.Markus's role as a villain was a massive waste of potential. Throughout the whole book he was set up as this terrifying dictator you would never want to cross. But he turned out to be a complete joke. He's whole sub-plot was solved in one chapter, and a terrible solution at that. I would have preferred him being the main villain of the book and Queen being a side Villain. So much potential completely out the window.'''

'''6. May. Yes, May gets her own category. I despise this kid! She wasn't that bad at the begging, she had few small annoyances here and there but nothing to severe. But then it came the chapter 14 and she became the bane of my existence. When MC's colony was under attack, instead of my MC being a badass zombie killing general, he had to play hide and seek with an annoying kid. What was that writing? What was the point of that whole tedious chase scene? I had never been more annoyed with a kid character in Choices before. And later when she was kidnapped by the Siren Zombie and brought to the hive, my dumbass MC had to go and save her. Which was obviously going to happen cause PB doesn't have balls to kill of a kid in their game. That single since made a lasting impression on me, and completely ruined my enjoyment of what could have been an amazing book.'''

'''7.It's a really really expensive book, but as I said, that's a game problem in general. '''

'''And also the ending was incredibly underwhelming and anticlimactic. I'm willing to give some of these things a pass cause it's positives are so strong, but they definitely do drag book down from being "perfect". '''

Good Tier
Hero: '''I wasn't the biggest fan of it at my first playthrough, simply because I'm not into anything superhero related, but the more I replayed it, the more I liked it! I love the intertwined universe with Endless Summer, and we even get a lot of references to it. I love not just the LI's but the side characters too. Poppy and Dex are both great! The story is interesting, a bit cliche but still interesting. The art style, I loved it in ES I loved it here! Overall, it's a well written book with interesting characters, I'm still upset that the sequel got canceled!'''

'''Veil of Secrets: Really fun and interesting mystery book. The pacing is a bit off and I hate how you have to spend diamonds at the end of the book to stay with your LI but other then that, it's pretty fun!'''

'''Perfect Match: I remember the first time I played this book, the feeling was surreal. I love the characters, the story, the LI's (Hayden and Damian are some of my favorite LI's in the entire game) and everything about it. Everyhing besides the second book. I'm happy we got to see my favorite characters again, but men, second book was such a downgrade from the first one. It felt like a completely diffrent series, it didn't really fit in with the first book. It was also full of filler and some chapters were really dragged out. Nadia became way to annoying, she was tolarble in the first book, but in the second one, I really counldn't deal with her. Khaan was set to have an important role in the story but he ended up being completely irrelevant. Such a shame, this would have been a perfect duology. But PB has to continue the trend of sequals never being as good as the originals.'''

'''Big Sky Country: This book was so lighthearted and a good change of pace from other PB books. No drama, no over the top villains, no over-complicated plot, just a wholesome cute simple story all around. I absolutely adore all the characters! 4 LI's are all great. Sawyer might be my favorite LI in the entire game! He's so sweet and caring! I love him! And a sexy gay cowboy is something I could never say no to! Juliette is also great. I love her friendship with Sawyer and how they know each other prior to MC coming to town. It makes their friendship more genuine and not forced unlike some other Choices books. Asha is really sidelined and unused, in the first book but get's way more screen time in the second book. Now Dallas, I'm not the biggest fan of. I like his backstory but I really not like his character. He's way to moody and cynical for my liking. I also really like the side characters as well. The townsfolks are all really interesting with good personalities! Cliff is one of the funniest characters in the game, but he's also caring! And I just can't say how much I adore Brooklynne! PB could have easily made her a spoiled whinny brat, but instead, they made her smart, caring, bold, beautiful and capable all without sacrificing who she is. She has her vulnerable moments, but it’s done so well that it adds a dash of realism to her. I also love her and Duke’s relationship. I was so ready to be against them and yet they are the sweetest. Duke is such a caring father and just wants what’s best for her and his family. It's such a breath of fresh air to see a parent who's not a jerk to it's child for no reason what so ever. It's ending is also really nicely rapped up. Dare I say, it's one of the sweetest endings in the game! To bad PB doesn't do endings like these anymore. Also, Spike is the best pet in the entire Choices canon, don't at me, it's a fact.'''

'''The Heist: Monaco: Don't care for the genre, but I'm loving this book! Crew is probably the best part of this book! Their dynamic is great and every member is really unique and interesting! And I love the Heist point system! It effects your ending which I find really interesting. Shame it's a standalone.'''

'''Nightbound: I love anything Supernatural/Paranormal related. When this book was announced I was really exited! Were my wishes fulfilled? Kinda. I love that we got a new full fledged Paranormal book, but I feel like the whole Paranormal aspect wasn't explored enough. I'm overall satisfied what we end up with, but it had a such a bigger potential! It doesn't help it that it's standalone.'''

'''Open Heart: Ugh. Where do I even start with this one. The first book was good, it wasn't a masterpiece but it was good, the second book was a slight downgrade from the first one but still had it's moment here and there, the third one tho... The third one is a stain of this series. There are so many things wrong with it. Characters are either completely out of character (Ethan, Harper and Elijah) or almost completely forgotten and barley show up (Sienna, Aurora, Baz, Zaid, Esme, Kyra ). And the way other LI's are treated is absolutely disgusting! I'm one of few people who still like Ethan and is romancing him, tho, I don't like him as much as before but that's not the point here. He takes all of the screen time! Bryce, Rafael and Jackie barely show up and when they do, they're scenes are paywalled by diamonds! Also, why is Jackie still the only female LI in the series? Third book definitely brings the rating down for this series. I'm gonna continue to live in denial and pretend that the third book never happened.'''

'''Class Act: Unpopular opinion over here, but I enjoyed this series much more then the OG one. I don't like us being the new kid in school, we do a bunch of shenanigans and BOOM! Popular kid in school. I hate that trope! I relate much more to this MC then I did to the other one. Also, Skye is precious!'''

'''America's Most Eligible: My feelings for this book are mixed. Loved the first book! Very enjoyable for a reality themed book! Hated the second book! With introducing new interesting characters, just for them to leave so early, whole Vince and Carson drama and forcing us to marry one of the 4 blandest LI's in the history of app games! And why is the third one another wedding book? At least we got to end up with Bianca/Slater at the end. Although it was done terribly! The 4 main LI's are so bland and boring I had no problem ditching one of them for Slater at the end.'''

'''Distant Shores: When this book was announced I was exited for it, obviously. I was really exited for a pirate book! And I that's what was expecting. Full on pirate book set in fitting era... And that's what it should have been! It didn't need a Time Travel aspect, yet PB did it anyway! Like why? Just why? That's probably what killed it. Everyone was expecting a pirate story and not a Time Travel story. At the end of the day... I still loved the book! Yes, the Time travelling concept was half assed, but PB did the best they could and with what they were given. The LI's and side characters are all great, the action is pretty good, visuals are gorgeous and it's a gender of choice! That's always a victory in my book! Yes, I could have done without the whole Time Travelling nonsense, but the end result was pretty enjoyable none the less.'''

'''Foreign Affairs: So, PB promised us a political thriller. Instead, we got another college book with political elements here and there. Second Book of Baby Bump has more politics then this book. I get that politics are a really messy subject and maybe PB didn't want to dwell into it to much, but why even decide to make a political book then!!!??? Again, same as Distant Shores, the final result was enjoyably. LI' and side characters, again, were all great, and I'm sad we are never going to see them again since the book is standalone.'''

'''Laws of Attraction: First of all, I'm very happy to see that the first book was profitable enough to warrant a sequal! First gender of choice book since BOLAS to get a sequal! We love to see. Now, just hopping that PB doesn't F it up. The book itself is pretty good! Unlike FA, the political aspect of the book was really lacking, while here, the law part is more then prominent. So good job on them for that! Two LI's are both great. Aislinn is such a cutie and Gabe, while he is the primary LI, doesn't feel as forced. I also like the option to have hookups in the book. While I do think it's a weird book to introduce it in, I do think it's an interesting concept that I hope PB doesn't overdo in the upcoming books. My biggest problem in the book is that, all that layer and law talk are really confusing to me. I have no idea what characters are saying half of the time and I don't even know how many time I completely lost the plot. The most I know about the laws is from playing Phoenix Wright, and I do know some of the basics here and there, so yeah, my law knowledge is really limited. It's a two edged sword for me. While I do appreciate that it's realistic and on par with real world, I still find it confusing.'''

'''The Unexpected Heiress: The first genderlocked book in a long time that I actually like! Granted, this one actually has a reason to be genderlocked. This is easily my favorite period piece book. I love me a good murder mystery, and this book delivered exactly that. I can't say I saw the killer coming, and the plot twist that came with it. Great job PB! That's how you do a plot twist! The story was a bit complicated and hard to follow at some parts especially is you didn't pay the diamonds and the plot come to a stop at times mainly with all the parties and balls, if they're not in every book I guess the Sun will explode or something. I liked the LI's, they were all great. Some had more screen time then the other's cough John cough, but's that's a consistent problem with the game so I don't want to hold it against this book to much. I wasn't the biggest fan of the side characters tho, Effie and Francis were definitely my favorite ones. There was way to many of them and I couldn't for the life of me remember half of their names. Especially the other nobles, what were their name again? I can't even remember the killer's name, and their the killer for God's sake! I would have also loved them to cover the colonialism dispute, it was mentioned once and never again! I know that's an incredibly hot top even today the opinions are strong with it. On second though, I don't trust PB enough to cover that topic, so I'm glad they didn't touch it.'''

Guilty pleasure Tier
'''Rules of Engagement: Biggest reason why I love this series so much is because we could travel to other countries. I love travelling, geography and learning about different cultures and traditions! Our siblings were also quite interesting and likable!'''

Love Hacks: Great book for a good laugh and relief from all the drama in the other books!

'''Passport to Romance: Ok, let me get out the negatives first. The story is incredibly slow and dull, the lack of proofreading is God damn awful, probably the worst of any book, the LI's are all stereotypes and cliches, story takes really dumb and ridiculous twists and turns along the way, Elliot's whole existence and he's dumb family drama with his brother, the PB's knowledge of European travel is rather questionable, why would you go from Paris to Berlin via Switzerland when you can take a direct route from France to Germany? Also, when will PB realize that Monaco doesn't have an airport. All those things said... I still enjoyed the book. I already said that I love to travel and visiting other countries, so that's already a massive plus for me. Travel Blogger is also my dream job and I really envy MC sometimes! It's a gender of choice, and that's always a victory in my book! Even tho the LI's are all stereotypes, I freaking love them! I don't have problem with stereotypes when they're done from time to time. Sumire is a precious cinnamon roll who needs to be protected at all cost, Ahmed is also really sweet and handsome, I have a thing for Middle Eastern guys, I don't like Marisa as much as Sumire and Ahmed, but I did still like her and I genuinely did fell sorry for her, for the way her boyfriend was treating her, and Elliot... I don't hate him as much as I used to, I decided to romance him once and he's not actually that bad when you get to spend diamonds on him and get to know him. He did grow on me a bit but not to the point of me liking him. I would't be mad if this book got a sequel, but I completely understand why it didn't.'''

'''Untameable: Ok, ok, ok, ok. Hear me out. This book made me full-fill my Brokeback Mountain (Or should I say, Bareback Mountain) fantasies and that's enough for me to like it. BSC walked so Untameable could run. I have so many critics with this book. First one, and the biggest one, codding and writing in this book is so obviously meant for female MC and Male Kit. I'm seriously supposed to believe that 90% of a small rural town in Southern Oklahoma is LGBT? And Colt just casually entering the bar and flirting with my male MC? This book is definitely not written for anyone not heterosexual. I mean hey, I would give everything to live in a small town full of hot gay cowboys, but it's not really realistic isn't it? Then again, I guess it's not meant to be realistic. The story is non existent. It's smut, sex before story, but it doesn't even have that going on for it. For a smut book, it has a noticeable lack of smut. The LI is hot but boring, that seems to be a thing with these single LI books. Our brother Austin is hella annoying and Mandy is completely pointless. They got so many things about horses and living on the ranch wrong, and apparently, letter G is illegal in Oklahoma. At the end of the day, is this a good book? No. But let me enjoy my yeehaw smut. You're expecting quality writing from a Choices smut book? Lower your expectations.'''

Meh Tier
'''Bloodbound: I'm not a fan of Vampire fiction. Vampires have always been my least favorite Supernatural creatures. But I do still have some other problems with it. I felt like the series was dragging on for way to long and it had way to many underdeveloped plot points. It's another very expensive book (then again, that's just a game problem in general) and so many interesting characters were killed of early. Xenocrates for example was a completely wasted character and I hate how they killed him off. Gauis's plot twist with Rheya controlling him and his "redemption" was terrible. I absolutely loathe how they did Dracula. I hate how the series ends by completely screwing over Jax and Lily but Adrian and Kamilah are completely safe because they're the "popular LI's". And of course, say it with me, it's genderlocked.'''

'''Most Wanted: It doesn't hold as well on replaying. Still want a second book tho and I'm pissed we had to wait this long for PB to tell us that it has been cancelled!'''

'''The Elementalists: Again, not my cup of tea. Not a fan of magic/wizards fiction. But same as Bloodbound, characters and story are all great.'''

'''The Royal Romance: Aka, PB's biggest cash grab. This series is a corpse, a literal corpse. There is literally nothing left to milk yet PB still continues to do so. Just put it out of it's misery and end it already! Even hardcore fans of this series want it to end! I do think that the first three books were somewhat decent. It was a bit of a cliche fairy tale, but I still saw the charm and appeal of it. It should have ended it there, but no, PB is gonna milk every last coin from it before they end it. The Royal Heir is a cash grab. It's obvious. Every next book was worse then the previous one. The first one was sooooooooo dragged out and full of filler, second one was incredibly frustrating and the writing got especially ridiculous. You can't just come uninvited to someone else's country and do whatever the heck you want, you can't just dock a boat in someone's country's dock without that country's approval and most importantly, you can't demand to stay, again, uninvited, when a ruler says that you have to leave! It can lead to a diplomatic problem and even a war, which was consistently mentioned throughout the book but never happened. That would have been a way more interesting story, instead of whatever a third book came up with. The third book is not as frustrating as a second one but still pretty annoying. I do think that the Barthelemy is a good villain and book does a great job of making me hate him, but his whole "I'm a take your child to become the ruler of Cordonia." plot feels really forced. They added him just because they were running out of ideas and needed a villain for a third book. Even tho the war between Cordonia and Auvernal would have been a much idea for the story. Now let's talk about the characters. They got more flanderized as the series went on. Only Olivia got better with writing. King Liam is probably the most useless king ever and he's so not capable of running a country. Enemies are invading your country and want to take your/your friends daughter away, and what are you going to do? Throw parties and balls, tour around the kingdom and have sex with your wife every chance you get. I'm honestly not surprised when terrorists wanted to overthrow him back in the third book. You're a ruler of a whole freaking country! They can't just walk over you! God, it's so frustrating! Most of these things would have never happened if PB actually knew how running a country works! Actually, that's my biggest problem with the story overall. PB has no idea of how ruling a country works and what how much authority a ruler of a said country has. I know that sometimes you have to sacrifice a bit of realism to write a good story, but this is not well written. It comes out as embarrassing. I'm glad this series has finally been put to rest. It's long been overdue!'''

'''The Hunting Of Brainwood Manor: The biggest problem with this book is that it's too short. If it was longer, it would have been way better. More time for story to fully develop and for characters to get more depth and personality. This book could have been so much more, it had potential (I loved the premise of it), but the end result was just fine.'''

'''Home for the Holidays: This book reminds me of Hallmark Movies. It's so cheesy it belongs right in there. Now, I myself am a massive Christmas Dork and I have a soft spot for anything Christmas related, this book included. Yes, the writing is cheesy and nonsensical, all 3 LI's are really nothing special and the MC is really annoying. All that stands, but as I already said, anything Christmas related is already ranked higher in my book, no matter how bad the other parts are.'''

'''Across the Void: This book is the biggest missed potential in the game. When it was firstly announced, a lot of people were calling it the next Endless Summer, did it reach those expectations? Ha! Not even close! XD The pacing is terrible. Very little happens in the first few chapters, and then they cram all the action into the last few chapters. It was really confusing. There's no real build up to it. They wait way too late to explain what the conflict is all about. The siblings were annoying, and I hated having to play as them, especially when you consider that they each have their own love interests to deal with. And all the "pay diamonds or X dies" choices just felt exploitative.'''

'''Platinum: Every book that's genderlocked automatically falls down in my ratings, regardless how strong it's other aspects are. The writer promised this to be the gayest book in the game yet, oh but sorry, that's only if your a lesbian! Hahahahahahahahaha! We got you! Now spend diamonds on it and give us money! And in spite of the writer, I didn't spend a single diamond on it nor did I enjoy it. If they were straightforward and actually just said that book is genderlocked, I would have been fine with it. Instead they raised fans expectations really high for nothing. And that's enough for me to not like it? Is that really petty and immature? Yes. But I'll tell you what... I don't care. :)'''

'''Bachelorette Party: I don't know how I feel about this book. I did laugh a few times, the "crew" is kind of annoying, Aisha's attitude turns me off and Courtney, although has some funny moments, also has some annoying ones. Writing is pure cringe most of the time. Reed and Ash are necessary to the story as much as Sakura is necessary to the story in Naruto, they also have a personality of a wet cardboard cut-outs. And I was already pretty annoyed by the whole briefcase thing, by the time I was half way through the book! So, yeah, that's my main reason for disliking this book. Thank you for listening to my ted talk.'''

'''Mother of The Year: My disliking for this book simply comes from a fact that it's genderlocked... That's literally it. This book could have easily been gender of choice! Single dads are already not represented in media enough. It would also be cool to see how the court scene would have worked since custody battle are notorious for being biased against dads. Again, is that really petty and immature? And yet again, I answer you with, I don't care.'''

'''My Two First Loves: Jesus Christ was this book long! It literally had no reason to be this long other then being a daily release book. And most of the chapters themselves were either completely pointless or filler, or could have just being combined together. Seriously, you could take away some of the chapters from the story and literally nothing would change. The story would have stayed the the same. That's not my only problem with the book. The MC, dear God the MC. Her, TNA MC and Witness MC are without a doubt my least favorite MC's in the entire game. She's at least my favorite of the three by default. With her, I genuinely don't think she's a bad person. She's just incredibly indecisive and so annoyingly vapid. Girl, I knew who I wanted as an LI from the very first chapter of the book. Just choose already! And Ava stans were completely robbed, man I fell sorry for them. And on one final note, I freaking hate principal Jennings!'''

'''Hot Couture: It's not bad, it just that, fashion type stories are not my cup of tea. I find this book really boring, the LI's also aren't anything to write home about either.'''

'''With Every Heartbeat: Just read/watch The Fault in Our Stars and you already pretty much played the entire book. It tried way to hard to make me emotional and it completely failed. It's a factor of me not being an emotional person in general and knowing that Dakota was going to die. Which brings me to Dakota, I literally didn't care for them, in the slightness. I cared more about his friend then I did for him. He's just, so boring. He's whole personality is basically just I have cancer and I'm going to die. I also really like this really lame horror movie series. The incredibly forced emotional moments just made me laugh, it wasn't sad. I may sound like a jerk and an a hole, and I'm sorry, I wasn't born like this the world made me.'''

'''Shipwrecked: This book makes me sad, like, legit sad. I'm a big fan of survival type games, outside of Choices, so this book turning out to be as it did physically hurts me. I wish the survival concept was put more into focus instead of Mc's and LI's bond and horrnines. The LI was once again, hot but boring, first half of the book was really slow, dare I say even boring, the second half definitely picked up but was still dragged down with MC and LI constantly hooking up at the weirdest time at the weirdest of places. Get your priorities straight dear God. My favorite part of this book were easily the visuals. I'm a big sucker for tropical islands so seeing this beautiful island with it's beautiful nature really improved the book for me. I could have just imagined myself there with a drink in my hand relaxing on the beach. Dream come true. The diamond scenes were pretty good and I enjoyed playing some smut with a gay guy, so, that was nice to I guess.'''

'''Crimes of Passion: Idk, I just can't seem to get into this book. I don't love it, I don't hate it, it's just meh for me. Middle of the road. I'm not invested into the story and mystery enough. Characters are boring and underdeveloped. I don't care for Trystan enough. He's attitude turns me off. I'm over slow burn romances, they we're interesting first 20 times but now they're just tiresome. If anything, at least it's not genderlocked. Maybe it will grow on me.'''

'''The Cursed Heart: I tapped to play Chapter 1 and when I saw the warning about the BDSM, the book completely lost me. I guess having a cute wholesome story about Fea's was to much to ask for. If anything, at least those choices are optional, I'm not forced to take them which I like. I also really don't like the LI. They're in my subjective opinion some of the ugliest LI's that we ever had in Choices. Maybe it's just my personal preference cause I don't find Fae's and Fae like creatures like Elves attractive. They're all extremely unappealing to me. All of them, male and female. I could have look past that if their personality is great but it's really not. Why are we still romanticizing, toxic, possessive creep behavior? It's not hot, not in the slightest. I'm sick of media normalizing it. And the worst thing is, some people are legit idolizing it. Maybe it's just me and I'm taking it a tad to seriously, but you decided to read this, and you're going to hear my opinion. The strongest assets of this book are easily it's visuals, art and music. All of them are beautiful. It's a shame they were wasted on such a book. Oh, and Longclaw is pretty great too. Not to be dramatic or anything but I would literally die for her. If something happens to her, something is gonna happen to me as well.'''

Bad Tier
'''The Freshman Series: Where do I even begin with this one. First of all it overstayed it's welcome, it jumped the shark way to many times, most of the main characters are really unlikable, MC is an idiot, terrible writing in the later books especially in the Junior and what part of "I hate Sebastian and I don't want him to be my friend" does game not understand?'''

'''High School Story: I just can't get into this series. Second book is probably my favorite. First book was boring and the third one was just frustrating.'''

'''Red Carpet Diaries: This series is an insult to the original Hollywood U game! First of all, why is it genderlocked? The original game wasn't genderlocked and nether is High School Story... So why this one is? Second, the incredibly unrealistic portrayal of a young actress in Hollywood. MC can't act to save her life, and suddenly overnight she becomes good and becomes a really popular actress? NO! That's not how it works! It's incredibly unrealistic and frustrating! Hollywood is full of broken dreams and hopes! This would never happen! Not even in fiction! Third, the writing and plot are horrid! The first book is not just incredibly unrealistic but also really boring. It's so slow and pacing is awful. Second book is probably my least favorite one. It deals with a sexual harassment terribly. Sexual harassment in Hollywood by the people with high power that can ruin their victims not just carriers but also lives with a snap of a finger is something that should be acknowledged, and I'm happy that PB tried to cover it, but the way they did it is just so baffling. MC could have just came public, it's not that hard. It's especially easy today, with social media and just media in general covering a lot of sexual harassment and insults in the past few years. Serious accusations are serious accusations regardless of someone's power. And especially when there's more then one victim. Viktor also didn't get a proper punishment at the end. He just got booed by the paparazzi. If this was real life consequences would have been way more serious. Which also brings me to a final point. If this book was gender of choice, it could have cover being sexually harassed as a guy. This happens is real life way more common then people think, and I would have loved it if PB covered that! That's something that's not covered in media in the slightest if at all, PB had a chance to do that and missed it. What a wasted opportunity. And finally the third book, it tried to do 3 plot lines at the same time, with a stalker, MC's wedding and making a movie, and all three of them fell flat on their faces. They either didn't felt complete or were just rushed. I still don't understand how this series got three books. It's sad that this book has to be associated with the Hollywood U game.'''

'''A Courtesan of Rome: Was into it at the beginning, but quickly lost interest. I'm not a fan of historical fiction.'''

Desire and Decorum: Same as ACoR but way more boring.

'''Ride or Die: Remember when this was the most hated book in the game? Ah, "good" times. I don't hate it as much as I did before but it's still not that good. The MC is incredibly dumb and naive, and I hate the crew. They are legit criminals! I don't want to be associated with them!'''

'''Wishful Thinking: This book would've been so SO much better if it had a less predictable plot. "Politician turns out to be complete corrupt snake" is such a lame and predictable plot! And with a premise as interesting as mind-reading, the plot could have been so much more interesting! This was such a missed opportunity. Very interesting and unique premise completely wasted. And being genderlocked didn't help it either.'''

'''Save the Date: This is literally the most pointless and unnecessary book in the entire game. It came out when we were already over-saturated with the wedding books, I really have no idea why PB though that giving us another one was a good idea. The book itself is also incredibly boring. Maybe that's just my personal preference, because I don't find wedding stories interesting. The LI's are fine tho. Simon and Lindsey are absolutely adorable, as for the Best Men. A lot of people hate the hell out of him, and rightfully so, but I personally couldn't care less about him. As much as I could't care less about the book itself. I'm not interested in this book enough to care... Also genderlocked.'''

'''The Royal Masquerade: Again, I'm not a fan of historical fiction. I'm also really damn sick of Cordonia!'''

'''A Very Scandalous Proposal: This was the most boring book that I ever had the miss pleasure of reading. There's a lot of boring books in this app, but My God, this was physically hard to get through. I was legit bored out of my mind while reading it. I completely zoomed out at so many points of the book, I legit had no idea what I even read. It came to the point of me just tapping through every chapter. It was that hard for me to finish it. The "mystery" was boring and predictable. I don't remember any of the characters nor their names in it except for Simon and that's literally only because he's an LI. And I don't even like him to begin with. He's such an a hole, I can't stand him. Maybe he gets better later in the book, but I was tapping through at that point so I don't know. Not even being it gender of choice could save this book for me.'''

'''Queen B: I don't understand the hype. This book screams "How do you do fellow kids?" It's beyond cringy. And I don't approve of student/teacher relationship even if it's fictional. It makes me uncomfortable. Besides that, every, and I mean literally every character is unlikable. They are all terrible people through and through, I don't see any redeeming qualities about them. This is honestly the reason I could never get into this book., despite the writing being really snappy and LOL funny. To invest in a story, I have to invest in at least one of it's characters, and I pretty much dislike every single one of them. The book is also incredibly mean-spirited and lacking self-awareness in some parts. Also, why is everyone thirsting for Poppy? I literally can't stand her character! Not even one bit! No offence to those who like this book, but I really can't see why is this one of PB's most popular books.'''

'''Rising Tides: I want to like this book. I REALLY do. They are trying to raise awareness for such an important issue. But the way they're doing it is just not doing it for me. There is 0 subtlety, and the message comes out as incredibly forced and awkward, almost as a Global Warming Propaganda. It doesn't help that Charlie comes out as incredibly pushy and annoying!'''

'''Ms. Match: Besides being incredibly boring, it has everything I hate about Choices: Single LI, genderlocked, relies heavily on smut, annoying MC, unlikable LI, plot involving competition, the cliche annoying cartoonish villains... Very unoriginal and straight up predictable.'''

I could have lived my whole life without you existing Tier
'''Baby Bump: No. Just no. The incredibly unrealistic portrayal of pregnancy and lack of proofreading aside, this book is sooooooooo boring! I don't care for pregnancy type stories. I respect the writer for basing the book of his own experience with his wife being pregnant, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I don't like the Li's. Side characters are either annoying or boring. Expect for Luisa and Elijah, who I adore and made the experience of reading the book slightly more tolerable. The story is comical and completely unrealistic, characters make so many dumb and questionable decisions. I will admit that second book was an improvement over the first, how much you be the judge, they fixed many of the problems with the first book and made it slightly more enjoyable. I was somewhat invested into the election plot line though I got bored of it half way, at least it had a consistent plot. Which I can't really say for the first book. Now, I just want to rant about Craig a little bit. I know he's supposed to be unlikable, but PB took it to insufferable territory. It's not even fun to hate him, he just makes me full of anger and at many points almost made me quit the book. It's way pass unrealistic at certain point, it's "Have you ever met an actual person in real life?" He was a caricature. No one, not even the most cartoonish over the top villains act like that. And the rest of Covington family, tho not nearly as insufferable as Craig, are also really annoying and I hated them with every fiber of my being.'''

'''Sunkissed: And the award for the best plot lines in the whole game go to... Seriously, in this book you have to search for, are you ready? A marinara sauce, a sweatshirt and a turtle. Why don't they go find my interest for this book. It's been missing since the book was launched and I still haven't found it. Besides ridiculous plot points, the book is incredibly boring and dull. The LI's ain't much more interesting either. The Ken doll, sorry I meant Nate, I confuse them a lot, is beyond force, and Eliana and Sampson are pay walled behind diamonds and are also pretty bland and uninteresting as well. The constant fighting between MC's sister and mother is really frustrating and annoying. Like, I don't care about your petty family drama! Can you please disappear so we can add you to the list of things that MC's has to search for? Thanks. The best thing about this book is that you can renovate your house for completely free, oh and the free diamonds that you get at the end of each chapter.'''

'''Witness: A Bodyguard Romance: I absolutely love this book for all the wrong reasons! It's so bad it's good category, I love how ridiculous, dumb and bad it is! Teachers should use this book in schools to teach their students how not to write! I can make a whole essay on how this book fails in pretty much everything so instead, I'm gonna focus on some positives! (Yes, there are some, not a lot but there are some.) It's a fantastic diamond mine, the chapters are relatively short so you won't have to suffer too much, the artwork is great, Cassian is a great LI (according to most people, I find him/her to be meh.) and... Yeah, That's pretty much all I got. I mean, it felt like after a point Witness became so bizarre that it was unintentionally funny, it was obvious that the writers weren't even trying. It's not my least favorite book in the game, or even most hated, but in a sense of a writing and quality, I do thing it's the worst book in the game overall.'''

'''The Nanny Affair: This is single handedly my most hated book in the entire game. I don't necessary hate any books, but oh boy is this one an exception! I hate pretty much everything about it! The characters are awful: Sam is without a doubt my least favorite LI in the entire game! Selfish, spinless creep with 0 backbone, whose whole personality is being horny! MC is an annoying hypocrite, self-centred, entitled brat and lacking in self-awareness! And why is book villainizing Sofia and Robin so much? Yeah, they're not saint but let's not act like Sam and MC are much better then them! Yes, Sofia was definitely wrong for having cheated on Sam, but she at least didn't try to bullcrap anyone about it. She knew and acknowledged what she was doing was wrong, unlike MC acting like an innocent angel who didn't do anything wrong. Dare I say, Sofia is my favorite character in the book. At least when Witness came out it resulted in countless memes and it was an entertaining train wreck to follow each week. I unironically like to replay it to get a good chuckle. This book has no redeeming qualities other then the twins, neither plot, LI or side characters were worth it to me. It can go burn in hell for all I care about!'''

'''Surrender: I played the first few chapters and realized this book isn't for me. BDSM is just not my thing, no kink shaming, if you like it, that's perfectly fine. I'm glad you can enjoy something that I can't. From what I've heard, it's not even a good representation of BDSM, what can you expect when PB literally watched Fifty Shades for "research". There really isn't much to talk about in this book, it's just pure sex and smut. If you're into that again, good for you, you're going to enjoy it. I guess I could comment about the LI, but should I? Dude's got more red flags then the Chinese embassy. I don't see the point of me getting upset over this book since I'm clearly not the target audience for it. Which is a good thing, the less we talk about this book the better.'''
