I agree with you that Pixelberry has gone downhill as of late. There's too much romance stories, and they strike me as shallow. Not to mention that some of the potentially good ones ended up having wasted potential because of Pixelberry putting unnecessary emphasis on one particular love interest. When Pixelberry mentioned that some of their stories have no gender options because they're "saving" resources for other books, I was like "BSC is made with little effort, yet it has the option to pick MC's gender". I think the lack of it has more to do with their assumption that their target audience prefers to play as females only.

I'm glad you mentioned how problematic the protagonists are. In fact, a number of them come across as Mary Sues in some ways, which makes it hard to enjoy playing as them sometimes. Why can't we have more characters like Kenna, Dom, Dave, and Sam? They're memorable because they have their own flaws in addition to their good sides.

One thing you must remember is that It Lives is not done yet. It'll be back this September like the first two books, so you should be patient with it.
