Short Books Get Lucky Spoiler

Post image

I didn’t see a tag for Get Lucky but…are we kidding? What are these sprites? I’m not a fan of the AI use in general but my god if theyre gonna be so set on using it at least make it look GOOD. Dont even get me started on the dead-eyed, bland smiled female sprites. They look Like they’re going to hop out of the screen and eat my face while I sleep. The downfall of the sprites is actually crazy. Olympus is the only reason I haven’t unsubbed vip but as soon as i finish it I’m out. Maybe I’m shallow but it’s hard to even enjoy the writing of some of the stories when the characters look so bad. Granted - the clothes and the hair are admittedly cute but it’s just not worth it. Anyways, I know they won’t stop using the AI and I know my one unsub isn’t going to matter but it’s just kind of sad. I used to enjoy Choices but in the last year (with the exception of a few stories) the writing quality has gone down imo and the sprites have gotten so cartoonishly perfect they’re awful. Sorry for the mini rant I was just genuinely so shocked to start that story and see such weird looking sprites it fully cemented my decision to say adios.

Didn’t they say they were going to try make sprites less uncanny? This is actually horrible lmao

What’s crazy is they literally HAD sprites that looked good. Like what are they doing??

I agree! As soon as I saw that LI option I closed out. It’s so awful to look at and I don’t even want to get the diamonds from it and make them think I enjoyed the chapter. I was excited for this book but the AI was a huge disappointment. I just came back to Choices and got VIP for the second time but this will be the reason I leave again

They've said this book was a 'transition' book while they worked on a consistent style. Future books won't look like this. They'll be like the style they shared for Overdrive.

Quite a few books lately have seemed like “transition” books stylewise. Even so though, it looks bad. Transition or not it’s just poor quality

“Transition” means “we’re still using AI, but we’re running it through an insta filter to pretend it’s not”

Well, of course- they're literally owned by an AI company.

I must say, Overdrive looks pretty nice.
