I agree with a lot of the points you made. Regarding the stories being genderlocked, it doesn't really bother me personally to be honest, but maybe that's because I'm a female and I prefer playing a female over a male. However, I agree that it isn't fair to others, particularly the male fans who are forced to play as females only and don't have the option to play a male. Even the females who want to play as males, it's not fair to them either. I personally think that all the stories should be gender optional unless it is crucial to the storyline for the character to be female like ACOR and such. Other than that, I feel we should be able to choose which gender we want to be. It only seems fair. As for the quality of recent choices stories, I agree with you there as well. Some of the stories they've been coming out with are not that good. I do miss stories like Most Wanted, The Crown and the Flame, and Endless Summer. Those are among some of my favorite books in choices. I am very disappointed that they haven't released Most Wanted Book 2 yet. Book 1 was such a great book and I was looking forward to seeing what would happen in the next book but it's been years now and they still have yet to release it. And don't even get me started on them canceling the 'It Lives' series. I am so triggered by that! They had the nerve to end it on a cliffhanger and then they just go and cancel the series when I was so looking forward to a third book. Also, I don't think they should have ended The Heist: Monoco with just one book. That is actually one of the few books I enjoy and I would have loved for there to be a second book but no, they cancelled that too, ugh. I would definitely love for some more horror, mystery, murder type books or even some more action books. I mean, I love my romance books but they need to have more variety or they're going to start losing fans and money because these same old generic stories are getting old. I agree with you about the MCs. I hate that they're always goody two shoes all the time. I would love to play a villian or a psychopath. That would be pretty awesome. I really hope that PB will start listening to their fans and start making some changes to their stories, but I guess we'll see.
