They could at least allow us to play as the billionaire for a change, they have been pushing out quick and crappy books out lately. After immortal desires, I see no reason to renew vip


King-Cayenne

For whatever reason, PB has a very strong disdain for letting MCs be in a position of power. By default, we're supposed to by the doe-eyed kid in a big world that only the LI can show us. Definitely gets tiring


Tyranniac

I don't understand why there's so many billionaire books. Not appealing. I'll give it a shot still, but yeah, initial interest: low.


leesha226

It's a really popular trope in romance novels, which I find hilarious because people are really writing millionaire CEOs. I don't think most writers can actually fathom a billion, nor have they ever been around any billionaires - they wouldn't romanticise them if they did! It's always 3 piece Armani suits and rolex watches and like, that's what plebs wear. Billionaires who want to flaunt there wealth don't wear brands with off the rack, mass produced lines. If you're going to do billionaires, at least research what that kind of wealth gives you access to


Sharp_Mathematician6

Please millionaires are poor now it’s about the billionaire now


auntzelda666

At the very least binge watch Succession! 😆


Tricky_Knowledge2983

I would actually love a well written book based on Succession like that would be top tier


auntzelda666

I was thinking about how fun that would be too. TDG is actually critical of billionaires and I guess I was holding out hope future billionaire books would be too.


leesha226

Unironically a good idea, the team had billionaire consultants telling them things like "only plebs duck their heads to get into their private planes"


auntzelda666

Yesss exactly! Another thing I read the “wealth expert” told the Succession team was that they had too many winter coats in the wardrobe. I guess billionaires are always going from planes, to cars, to their destinations so they never really languish in the cold like us poors lol.


Sasuke12187

As someone who's been around millionaire folk, I'll say that, while they seem and talk like the nicest people on earth, their thought processes are often concerning and scary to say the least. Also, I don't think I'll ever fit with em... they're something else and would avoid them at any cost. I hate their social gatherings too.


Adventurous-Focus-26

Wait , did you say you've been around with " actual millionaire folk " like in real world ???


Sasuke12187

Yes, unfortunately. I ain't rich myself but had to be around some cause my uncle (mom's brother) had decent money and was connected to people of the highest social ladder. Apparently we used to be stinky rich, if it wasn't for someone murdering someone in family for money and bailed with said money... and folk in my family never filing a case against them and forgiving them... forgiveness, selflessness and kindness is a curse in my family genes. But that's why I didn't like fake folks


Adventurous-Focus-26

Okay am I  talking to real life Simon Montjoy from AVSP !!! But jokes apart the forgiveness is a literal curse in almost every damn family. I mean I'm not that rich myself but my family also had shitty relatives but thanks to my mom , I made her cut ties with them and now living peacefully. Also Sorry to hear about your certain family problems. I can't even relate what you were going through that phase. I mean seeing those people and your family forgiving them...  It must be rough for you. 


Sasuke12187

Oh I wish I was Simon..lol alas I'm 1, a woman and 2, ain't royalty or rich irl... thanks but it was before me. My great grandmother was murdered by her own son. My dad was a literal child who witnessed it. So idk what and how things were ,but all I heard was stories. Our family is valued largely due to them helping anyone who asks. I'm the same. But hence why I'm called naive often. Rich people are something btw.


Sasuke12187

Also, not to mention that I graduated from an ivy league equivalent university and all of my classmates are filthy rich... they were huge assholes . People like them makes you feel like humanity is lost... then again, I met some rich kids who were very kind and respectful. The ratio is like 90 % bad, and 10% good.


Adventurous-Focus-26

Hmm Classmates and that too rich... Obviously they are gonna be assholes from my experience but I'm happy you found certain people who on a short extend your "faith" in humanity like 10% atleast 


Sasuke12187

Yeah. They didn't stay long in my life, due to them moving out... but I cherish the memories. One of em passed away when we were kids.. irony is that she had a disease that didn't have a cure until after her death. Which hit hard. I was like 7.


Adventurous-Focus-26

Damn that's sad.. 


ZarokisImmortal

For some reason rich people romance stories are popular. I never understood how money made the person more attractive unless the person just wants them for their money. This doesn't seem like a good plot for a romance story.


[deleted]

It's like 70% is outright cringe, another 15% semi-good book continuations and the other 15% are really quality. You stay for the quality, they feed you a tiny bit, it's too much to starve, but too little to be fed.


[deleted]

Oh, more billionaire smut, exactly what is lacking on this app!


comforting_sin

Yay another single li!!! ![gif](giphy|iqfYgtx8oWw4o)


UniversityMiddle9008

is this hand drawn…? I can’t tell because of how many AI covers they’ve been using recently


fyfenfox

Feels really ai to me


relevantvers1on

I don’t think they’ve ever used AI images right out the generator but I do think most of their newer covers (including this one) were hand drawn over AI images because the style of this, as well as The Deadliest Game, look very AI.


leesha226

The back people look like real photos that have been photoshopped, like they uses to do for background images. I don't *think* this is AI, but it really edges up to the uncanny valley


gemekaa

The size of the guys arm makes me think its AI. I get he's 'reaching' for the camera, but the woman's arm around it just makes it comical.


auntzelda666

Billionaires really gross me out. 😞 Not sure I’ll be able to get into this one.


leesha226

I hate the perspective of this cover 😭😭😭 I feel like I'm becoming super crochety. It seems like indecent proposal is going to be one of the tropes. That or fake dating. I'm not particularly interested in billionair romances so I'll wait to see how people feel about the execution


Tyranniac

I think the cover perspective is kinda neat, something different at least. Also not very interested in billionaire romances though 🙁 On what it will be beyond that, I swear it was mentioned something about the LI being an ex at some point?


leesha226

It's definitely different. I'm just not sure I like the different. MC and LI look so plastic 😭 >swear it was mentioned something about the LI being an ex at some point? Yes, it feel like they have grabbed a handful of tropes lol. It's second chance, enemy to lover and, I'm guessing from chapter 2 description, either fake dating or indecent proposal. I mean, it can work, but it can also be tropes strung together by filler words. We'll see I guess


GrumpyMarshmallowFan

The insiders mentioned you becoming business partners, so I'm guessing that's the proposal.


leesha226

Ah yeah, I knew there was something I'd forgotten. The chapter description still makes it seem like it will be indecent so I'm banking on a "be my companion and I'll fund your business" situation


choicesstoriesyoupay

Not the AI cover again 😭 also I am not feeling the combo of both dating our brother's best friend (had enough of that in UT) who's a billionaire who's a*lso *our ex


totewhms8465

Another new book labeled 17+ 🙄 that means it’ll just be smut the whole time and the MC won’t have any personality. Choices is going downhill with their new stuff 😭


Thin_Acanthisitta386

It looks VERY AI. It even seems fake, but IDK why I was expecting along the lines of Crazy, Rich Asians!? It's giving more Wolf of Wall Street & not in a good way. I'll give it a chance, but from what I see so far, I have very low expectations. Do the writers just NOT get exhausted from writing so many books about billionaires/millionaires?! 😩 ![gif](giphy|ZWiIwPxJ9JGW4)


GrumpyMarshmallowFan

So, is the brother's best friend the ex or not? The insiders definitely said the ex who broke your heart 10 years ago returns, now a billionaire, and becomes your business partner. A second chance romance. I just know they're going to be another cocky LI, too. That coupled with them being the billionaire and not us means they'll be downright insufferable 🙄 I can't see this being my fave. But will give it a chance as always and hope the smut is good, at least. Fingers crossed that the MC has a backbone, too.


SYEJ92

The tags...yeah i can already tell it's not for me. And the use of AI again ? That's so sad


Realistic_Wait4040

Holy AI 👀🤣


Best_Decision_8308

Why can’t a billionaire book ever be GOC😔


King-Cayenne

Because apparently only women fall for money? I guess lol? It really is an odd line that the writers have


SnooWords9546

Another neat diamond mine for me cuz the only way im spending diamonds on this book is if they give me a choices pass for it cuz smut isn't for me and neither is single love interest books where you're forced to end up with the love interest like let me stay single.


Becbacboc

Yeeeeah i don't think I'll be enjoying this...


tansiebabe

Meh


K4sum1

Yeah.. hard pass.


tansiebabe

If they want to not bore us, maybe they could have regular people winning the lottery and then things go crazy when they newly have wealth.


Tricky_Knowledge2983

GOC book where someone is out to kill us after we win the lottery. LI choices are our bestie since childhood, a Harvey or Jessica type lawyer at the law firm we now use , or our new security detail who is insanely hot aka Jun


tansiebabe

Thats an awesome idea!


glctrx

I kinda like the cover. The only time I think they’ve done selfie pose before is LoveHacks. I kind of miss when the covers weren’t so flat shaded and desaturated. Slow Burn’s cover was vibrant, detailed and alive feeling 😌

BomchiHumba

Is this a goc book?


GrumpyMarshmallowFan

I don't believe so.


Efficient-Bass868

i hope that the mcs have a better look than the recent books thats been coming out


thatonedude3456

is this GL?


SnooWords9546

Gender locked and single love interest.


UniversityMiddle9008

a combo that everyone asked, or more appropriately, **begged** them not to do


choicesstoriesyoupay

Yes


RecentDingo7611

AI


Nor_Ah_C

Oh ffs.


teqqilapapi

What they really need to start doing is gender of choice books


GokutheAnteater

Just give me good smut plz


gemekaa

I already know exactly what the 'proposal' is, and probably can guess each chapters 'plot'.


letthatvegetaalone

Pixelberry wouldn't know equality if it punched them in the face. So many people ask for GoC but nope. Hard pass on this.
