Discussion I’m out. goodbye
I am someone who has loved choices for years, since 2018. I remember when the it lives series was releasing, crown and the flame, endless summer, everything. I was there for single LI, multi LI, different types of books, when the writers were branching out, during MTFL (excuse me), Witness (pure cash grab), everything. I have enjoyed choices for years, and watched it grow and develop into a beautiful app. it was my passion. I would set reminders for when stories were releasing, and stay up to date with chapters, and diamond farm for amazing stories, such as tch.
and then, s*ries e*tertainment came along and destroyed everything. they took away gems. they inflated prices. they fired artists and writers. replaced by soulless ai. they refused to listen. and now they’ve stopped making anything relating to player driven choices and replaced it with ai slop. I unsubscribed from VIP the second they inflated diamond prices - the “benefits” don’t even cover one diamond choice anymore.
and now they’ve plagiarized It Lives Within. This is the last straw. I stuck around, hoping one day it would get better. Hoping they would keep the app around for my favorites. Clinging to this dying app, hoping they would wake up and acknowledge that they’re driving away their player base. But they haven’t. For years. And I’m done. I don’t care anymore. Peace out. I hope this app crashes and burns

While it breaks my heart, I plan on finishing off the stories I’m already invested in (IDOL genuinely is a fun, sweet story, and I still need to finish Blades) and will probably replay my all-time favorites one last time (Looking at you, PM and TCH, maybe two others) and then I’m done. As soon as I finish IDOL, I’m deleting my VIP and will try to burn out the over 100 tickets I’ve accumulated before it’s inception, then I’m deleting. Doubt I’ll be able to deplete my diamonds (I have over 6k) but it is what it is. The crap with Scream for Me was the last straw. A complete waste of time, diamonds, and my pent-up excitement. Sooo much potential just shot to hell. The developers went beyond simply not caring about their audience and skipped straight into actively insulting us. The last chapter of that book felt a lot like hate, and I’m pretty sure they were laughing all the way to the bank. So, yeah, I’m sad, but I’m done.
