User:The Jacked Maverick



I like comics (I wish I had Fistigons) and reading. I am a vivid writer. Check out my own original series [//fearlessdivaproductions.wikia.com/wiki/User:The_Jacked_Maverick https://fearlessdivaproductions.wikia.com/wiki/User:The_Jacked_Maverick| here.]

I prefer editing in "Source" rather than "Visual."

Sci-Fi is great. I like to draw advanced technological things. I love all properties in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (Yes, even Marvel's Inhumans)

Stories I Do Not Like
''The number closer to zero is "better." The lower the number, the worse it is.''

(-9).Home for the Holidays

''So bad it is good. In a laughable way. Sometimes, being boring is worse than being straight-up laughable.''

Positives
 * I'm sure you have all heard all the complaints on this site, so I'm not going to list them.
 * ...it was only ten chapters?
 * The comments section.
 * It is ENTERTAININGLY bad to read. I kind of do want to see what Winter Haven does for Halloween and the summer.
 * It could have been worse.

(-8). A Courtesan of Rome

''This is the Stranger Things of Choices. An overrated franchise that just panders to nostalgia. Yes, I REALLY hate Stranger Things.''

Positives
 * No.
 * With the success OTHER people treat it, this franchise will be a pure diamond farm! :D

(-7). Across the Void

Style Over Substance. Positives
 * Expensive.
 * I regret spending some premium options seeing how this book played out. There's 52 Diamonds I am never getting back.
 * The "Allegiance" thing.
 * Too much science space talk.
 * Very dull.
 * 8 Chapters in and I think I'm done.
 * Artwork.
 * Soundtrack.
 * Multiple points of view.

(-6). Desire & Decorum

Discount Downton Abbey. Positives
 * Bland.
 * Generic.
 * Inaccurate.
 * At least it TRIED!
 * The clothes.
 * The set pieces.

(-5) Class Act

The most polarizing book in Choices history.

Positives
 * I refuse to call it by it's full title.
 * An insult to the original trilogy.
 * My real MC got crippled IN THE FIRST SCENE HE WAS IN!
 * Absolutely nothing of value.
 * Ms. Hutchinson and Casey's relationship.
 * I am a bit disappointed that is over now, but I hope Amber will do something drastic! :D
 * Skye and her Crandall legacy.
 * At least we are starting off as an average joe, and not continuing as the most popular kid in school.

(-4). Veil of Secrets

So much potential, so much filler. Positives
 * Pacing is off.
 * No good female LIs. This is the only book where I can be a man where I decide to stay single! And choosing to be with Ms. O'Malley for 30 diamonds is not worth it. Kate O'Malley is just too little, too late.
 * I gave up after Chapter 14. I don't even want to go on! Even if it is just for two chapters! D:
 * Scarlett Emerson was wasted.
 * Saving Mr. Petrov for diamonds was extortion.
 * The pacing is atrocious! (I know I already said this, but the pacing is so bad, it counts as two!)
 * This is the only book where I can play as a man I DON'T play (Anymore)!
 * Tanner was killed off too early.
 * They revealed whether Ms. O'Malley was dead or alive too early.
 * Started off promising.
 * Still with a great soundtrack to hear.
 * I admit the person who it ended up being was unexpected,
 * But it just seemed rushed!
 * At least it TRIED!

(-3). Red Carpet Diaries, Book 1

Cliché Hollywood. (The reason it is so high up is that on how OTHER people like it. Overrated.)
 * Pixelberry had no idea what they were doing, or what they WANTED to take this. (They didn't even make this a series until this book ended.)
 * TV-Y Hollywood.

Positives
 * Glamourous.
 * At least it TRIED!

(-2).The Royal Romance

Theme and genre are all over the place.
 * Started off laughable.
 * Then it was mediocre.
 * Today, it's just... mildly interesting.

Positives
 * Diamond farm.
 * At least it TRIED!

(-1). The Sophomore and The Junior

Sequels, sequels, sequels! Positives
 * What is there left to say but that this franchise overstayed it's welcome?
 * You know things are bad when this franchise is the best of the worst! (On my list, anyway)
 * It has the same characters as The Freshman?
 * At least it TRIED! Both of them!

My Love Interests for Each
''Only the books where I can be a man. Ranked from most favorable to "least."''
 * Quinn Kelly. (Very close between her and Ms. Montoya. Ms. Kelly is always my number one :)
 * Skye Crandall. (She seems more fleshed out than Maria)
 * Maria Flores. (Winner by default. I am straight and I really ship "Lemma.")
 * Stacy Green and Ava Cunningham. (I can't choose! They're both good!)
 * Sloane Washington. (She's so adorable! Yes, I chose her over my "perfect match.")
 * Eris Huang or Tillie Marshall. (I cannot choose yet)
 * Alana Kusuma (Just a casual fling. Sexual relationship only. Sloane is my real romantic partner.)
 * Imogen Wescott. (She seems like fun)
 * Shreya Mistry. (She appears more than Aster. That and Ms. Mistry is actually the same species as me.)
 * Juliette Mendoza.
 * Eva/Minuet (Again, by default)
 * Mackenzie (Great in bed)

''I don't play Across the Void, or Veil of Secrets. So I cannot choose Titania, Kepler, and Naomi Silverhawk.''

People I Want As An LI
Ranked from most desirable to least.
 * Scarlett Emerson. (She was wasted in Veil of Secrets. Her being an LI would have given more redeeming qualities in an otherwise bad book.)
 * Lina.
 * Bianca.
 * Myra Khandaar. (Maybe now we can get her with Class Act. Edit: Doesn't look like it)
 * Michelle Nguyen (I already have Ms.Kelly)
 * Amber Hutchinson.

Season 10
I lost, but at least I won "Favorite Contestant!"

Close

 * Adam.
 * Bianca
 * Mackenzie

Like

 * Derek.
 * Han.
 * Ivy Fisher.
 * Lina.
 * Ryder.
 * Teagan.
 * Zeke.

Eliminations
People I (wanted to) eliminate in bold.
 * Bianca and Teagan. (Nothing personal. I just want someone like Bianca on my side, and in bed...not in that order.)


 * Ivy & Ryder. (I like Ryder enough, but Ms. Fisher is such a sweetheart! I know it didn't have an effect, but at least I got what I wanted.)


 * Han & Lina. (I still have hope that I can sleep with someone other than "Mackenzie"... who is still female. On my second time playing, I'll eliminate Lina because she is so hard to impress!)


 * Lina & Zeke. (Like I said before, I just want to sleep with her. At least in this chapter, we FINALLY got a chance to hang out with Bianca and make out with her in a pool! Step forward in the right direction... even though Lina lost)


 * Bianca, Me, & Zeke. (I do not like Zeke. We are not friends. Keeping his secret was more of a professional courtesy. Plus I don't want to give Piper the satisfaction that she controls me. Piper isn't that bad! Bianca is all I have left in this game after Lina took the high road. If Bianca leaves, I am DONE. If only Ms. Fisher wasn't with Derek, I would have SOME sort of back up... and we can finally spend a night with her, so that's progress. Update: Bianca left. And... I should be done with this, but at least we got to bed Ivy. That still gives me hope)


 * Ivy & Zeke. If you've been paying attention, it is no surprise I want him to get the boot. For the first time in a while, I got the result I was gunning for.


 * Derek & Mackenzie. To quote David Tennant in Jessica Jones: "Now tings are gettin' interesting!"


 * Adam & Mackenzie. I never liked Adam.


 * Adam & Ivy Fisher. I still don't get the hate she receives.


 * Ivy Fisher & Me. She's cute and all, but that vacay with Lina is mine!

Cash Tokens

 * Beautiful Contestant.
 * Lina.
 * Ivy Fisher. (I don't regret it)

All Stars
I lost, but at least I won "Favorite Contestant!"
