I am a woman in love, with soft point in my heart for bosses.

Formerly a fan of:
 * J-horror, K-horror and other Asian horrors
 * manga and anime
 * noir detective stories (Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald, known also as Big Trio or Father, Son and Spirit)
 * PC games, mostly RPG and RTS
 * cell phone games, mostly RPG and RTS
 * ... and I don't know what future holds for me yet...

Favourite genres: Least favourite genre: Things I hate:
 * horror, thriller, mystery, crime, historical fiction, fantasy, contemporary fantasy
 * forced romance (i.e. you CAN'T stay single even if you want) ending with forced marriage (i.e. you MUST marry LI even if you don't want) and worse: with forced pregnancy and/or forced babies (even if you extremely don't want it, but you need diamonds to other books, that's why you have to play such @#%$^@$... that you normally wounldn't touch even with two-meter long stick)... I can endure gender-locked (because heroines are women and I'm a woman), just can't stomach these books that are baby-locked or at least belly-locked...
 * bullies of all kind

Favourite:

Liked:
 * It Lives In The Woods - decent horror, interesting plot, bullies are punished. It's touching story about friendship, family bonds, and sacrifice.
 * It Lives Beneath - similar climate to above.
 * Bloodbound - the very first book I played, so I might be biased... Great music, and I really like Adrian - he's so sweet.
 * Veil of Secrets - my second book, so I might be biased too... Good music and climatic start, despite bland end.
 * A Courtesan of Rome - Historically unprofessional in many ways: twisting historical facts, using incorrect Latin, putting modern ideas (including political correctness) into Ancient world... but there is certain interesting character allowing you playing with fire. Also, Main Character gives me slight impression of a lady from a story below...
 * The Crown & The Flame - one of very first books, with archaic interface, where you have no chance to customize your character, and you can only play with premade characters... But this story is just great, fully rewarding this minor discomfort. Every character, even minor, is refined in detail. And main heroine, Kenna, is simultaneously pretty, strong and clever, what is rare combination in Choices' universe.
 * Most Wanted - despite very limited choices, it's great story with cool main characters... their guts, and banters they share, are priceless.

Mixed feelings: Least favourite books, played only for diamonds:
 * Open Heart - Minuses: medically unprofessional and implausible, very predictable plot containing worst possible cliches, frequent Deus ex machina effect, immature and bratty interns, childish and naive MC, bullies and haters. Pluses: a certain venerable teacher, whom I just love wholeheartedly - I deeply regret I didn't have such boss in real life.
 * The Elementalists - I'm just starting my adventure with this book (I had to play maaany chapters to get diamonds for this one), but it's promising. At least there's an option for asexual and aromantic, who want to fully concentrate on magic and adventure, without any distractions... Unlike other Pixelberry's "school stories", I don't have to choose a partner "for life" just to get to a school ball... Only one irritating thing is orthography: WTF is "magick"? Obsolete archaism used by infamous Aleister Crowley claiming to be a "dark mage" to justify his atrocities... I'd prefer Pixelberry to use proper form: magic. Sorry, but this "magick" is terribly gnashing in the whole symphony, spoiling the pleasure.
 * Perfect Match - another part of good job. Only one minus: why the main character gets into the whole shady business, while they have an ideal partner at their side already? I've chosen him in a moment he spoke...
 * Rules of Engagement series - Minuses: forced LIs, forced marriage, forced pregnancy... Forced MC, who's intolerably dull, bland and foolish. She's also ugly (at least for me), because of her forced looks: red cheeks, small eyes, big nose and frog's lips (especially when she's sulking). And we cannot help it with mismatched haircuts (only emphasizing sore effect) or clothes (apparently stolen from Salvation Army's container)... Pluses: multiple points of view; adoptable animals; MC's siblings and cousin - despite their flaws, all of them are more interesting than MC.
 * The Freshman series - Minuses: hardly interesting plot, bratty idiots thinking only about boozing and screwing instead of studying, certain pritch and her airheaded sidekick, some nerdy boy (but too caricatural to be my type). Forced LI, at least in the first books. Pluses: certain pain in the arse - he is a bully, but still a better option than bland nerd, dull jock and brazen hussy... What a relief, in later books I'm allowed to be single.
 * High School Story - The Freshman for good kids. Minuses: Forced LI (at least in two first books), no Asian models for MC, forced and very limited activities (sport, cheer and music - I'm super not interested in any of them, since I'm a nerdy couch-potato, and my only artistic skill is drawing). In High School Story: Class Act - even more limited activity, hardly interesting plot, MC and their sibling are surrounded by bullies, stalkers and morons... Pluses: adoptable animals, choosable MC's gender, no forced LI.
 * Passport to Romance - ...And the foreordained comes true, and the portals open wide...Yawn open wide... Where's my spell book?... I abhor to touch it even for diamonds.
 * Home for the Holidays - another Yawn open wide. Only one plus: you have option to romance your boss. But he's just mere shadow of his potential, and the other characters are even weaker... Played only for diamonds.
 * Ride or Die: A Bad Boy Romance - story of a spoiled teenage princess from a good family, who cheats on her loving father, with a bunch of scoundrels. Her father is a typical Miami Vice hero (except we are in the City of Angels): hardworking, honest, brave, loyal, caring, forgiving, able to sacrifice. On the other side we have a dysfunctional so-called "family" consisting of brutal, remorselsess criminals, or at least socially disabled kids with no future... But our little princess, having some romantic ideas from Disney's Lady and the Tramp, has a real dilemma whom to follow!

Special for me:
 * Open Heart

My bitter and cynical relation to Open Heart is very personal. I was also bullied, and later slandered and framed, what ended with losing medical license by me. However, MC paid for their own deeds, while I was innocent (I wouldn't have guts to mess with patients).

It started from unfair competition; my rival intern flirted with male attendings in purpose to boost her career in fast way - and, unfortunately for me, it worked, because some of these attendings actually had their brains in their pants... They favoured that little slut, openly flirting with her and allowing her to most lucrative procedures, which she shouldn't normally perform because of her inexperience - she was newbie like me at this time (December 2015/January 2016).

I started to resist this unequality, and in result I got bullied. They started to abuse me verbally and emotionally. They discredited and humiliated me also in the presence of paramedics and patients. They started to blame me for mistakes they made during surgeries. They also neglected their duties as teachers. They turned my senile puppet boss against me, so he didn't react when I was reporting him what was happening, nor even if bullying happened in his very eyes. Later he started abusing me too, because he was an opportunist and always sided with stronger ones.

At the peak of conflict (Autumn 2017), the bullies accused me before Medical Chamber of crime I didn't commit, while they didn't have any proof. They defamed me also in the whole city, spreading lies about me to other hospitals where I had external internships. Just in case if I told any doctors elsewhere about pathologies in my primary hospital.

Their accusation wouldn't stand a chance in every court, but Medical Chamber wasn't normal court... The bullies pulled some strings - my puppet boss was friend of Medical Chamber's Chairman, and his deputy was a member of Medical Chamber Council. I was convicted by Medical Chamber via cangaroo court, without fair and square trial nor proof for of my alleged crimes - only "evidence" was testimony of the bullies.

And the one who mastered the whole plot, who incited others to gang up against me, was person whom I considered as friend. She was the next deputy and later next boss. She was damn good actress, deceiving and manipulating me and others the whole time. She played her role nearly till the end, then openly backstabbed me.

My only crime was that I dared to told other departments' consultants about bullying in my ward and my own boss turning blind eye. Some snitch of a nurse, who had her training in the same place at the same time, told the bullies that I dared to turn them in, so they got their revenge by framing me before Medical Chamber.

After this cangaroo court, I was robbed from everything (May 2018): my job, residency and right to practice as a doctor. I can't even go to another country, because I am now "proscribed" as a doctor in the whole European Union.

Many characters in Open Heart are painfully similar to my backstabbing "colleagues" who are unworthy calling themselves "doctors". That's why I'm so strict when judging them.

I've lost in the court of first instance. But I'll fight till the Strasbourg if I have to.
