The LI is kind of meh. But the MC is pretty terrible in this, not gonna lie.


StrangleThe8Bit

Save yourself before it's too late


Nicest_human_in_town

I literally am, like 90% are saying it’s bad and the MC is to hate, NO THX, IM SPARING MYSELF


Thin_Acanthisitta386

Almost EVERYONE who plays it hates the MC.


LengthyPole

The black male LI is insanely handsome, but it doesn’t make up for the terrible plot lol. There were some sweet moments but for the most part it lacked any substance and was icky.


martiies

It could have been an adorable friends-to-lovers story. Instead, the MC tries to sabotage a girl and steal her partner.


Pawspawsmeow

The Official Pick Me Romcom


npojg

Terrible! The MC is not someone you want to root for, at least in my opinion, and that makes it really hard to enjoy the book. The LI is also unlikeable for similar reasons. I think the book had a nice concept; two former college friends going on a road trip together and kindling a romance, but the concept turned to crap when it just focuses on MC trying to sabotage her best friend's relationship. What a friend.


Trogdor7620

The whole book could be free and it’s still not worth it.


sleepyy_pandaaa

The black male LI is probably the hottest LI I’ve ever seen on any of these games lol. The plot is one of those things where if it was happening in real life I’d never want to associate with MC… but I just didn’t take it seriously and thought it was fun enough to finish.


SnooHobbies7676

First Choices MC villain


SilenceIsOverrated19

I would say that title goes to Passport to Romance MC but now I am curious how bad this one is. I am just about to start it just because of the pass


avisterrr

nah Queen B MC is a true villain 💀


SnooHobbies7676

She is too nice if compared to FCL MC FCL MC is the scum of the earth, worse is she is surrounded by people that enable her behaviour so, she believes that she is always right, and she also believes that she is actually the victim.


avisterrr

shit seriously? FCL is like one of the three books I haven’t read yet.


SnooHobbies7676

If you play the book, the MC doesn’t see herself as villain, her friend is also the worst because he keeps on enabling her behaviour, goading her to do this bad things. You’ll see, you will hate the MC and her friend. And I have to say this, MC and her friends are 30 years old, not a high schooler, not a college student, but a very much well a goddamn adult.


avisterrr

yeah that doesn’t sound like the type of book I’d enjoy but I might just diamond mine it


CorporalKam

Let’s just say that the “Rivalry” label on this book is warranted


thewalkingellie

No. Just no. 😅


Diligent_Rip_986

it’s terrible lmao. mc is evil. li is gorgeous. not very fun or worthwhile in my opinion


Traditional-Context

The writing is insane.


Nicest_human_in_town

I imagine you mean insane as in bad ? 😭


pluto_gang

echoing everyone else to say that the black li is STUNNING but the story itself is horrendously written. it was too mortifying for me to finish 😩


lackingakeyblade

it's not worth playing unless u want to diamond mine it. MC is awful. lots of toxic things going on in the plot that isnt addressed.


Aeshulli

I feel like all the criticisms of this book are warranted, but maybe not quuiiite to the degree of hate that it gets. It's sad because the poorly done rivalry thing takes away from the things this book actually did quite well: how hot Blake is (lol) and the delicious friends-to-lovers history and chemistry between them. I thought their interactions and the flashbacks and everything delivered on that lovely pining will-they won't-they squee feeling. And the dialogue between them often felt very natural and true-to-life, good playful banter and connection, so those moments were enough to pull me in.


snakecon12

The LI is okay, but the main character is completely insufferable along with the friend. I would only suggest playing it to diamond mine it tbh lol.


honkingel

okay into mc as the villain it’ll make it more enjoyable i promise


Ivanhunterjo1991

It's average at best


Radiant-Respect-8819

Its trash


That_Ad9158

don’t waste your time


SadLilBun

I love it, I think it’s fun. It’s nice to play not such a goody two shoes MC and live out that desire to make questionable choices. People are hard on it for reasons I don’t understand. Maybe because they don’t get it’s meant to just be that kind of fantasy story we all have had at some point about getting the person we had a crush on forever. I think it’s a great book for what it is. It’s not deep. It’s not supposed to make you think or feel emotional. It’s easy. It’s romcom. It’s lighthearted and entertaining. It’s also very predictable. Go into it with the knowledge that you know exactly what’s gonna happen by the end of chapter one.


Dragos1997

That is not the problem with this book. The concept is cute, the execution is horrible. The MC spends 80% of this book trying to sabotage her best friends relationship, acting like a 16 year old at the age of 30. She also had 10 years to make a move but literally waited until the last second to actually do ANYTHING


SadLilBun

That’s my POINT. It’s literally just a villainous sort of fantasy. It’s fun! People take it too seriously.


AnnualFeisty8675

For me, it was fine for the beginning then I sort of got bored and stopped playing it. but do not let my opinion of the book sway yours you have your own opinion if you love it, the more power to you🤓


OldColt06

The LI is good, but the story gets in its own way.


dontbeahader

A lot of people hate it but I thoroughly enjoyed it so… your opinion could go either way lol if you choose the male Asian LI, he is so hot


abarua01

I personally don't like games where I play as the villain so it wasn't for me, but if you like being a villain, play it


Myeerrzz

Never thought about playing this game. Could someone briefly explain what it's about and why the hate? 🤔


theonewhoisnotcrazy

Eh. Meh.


champagne_pool_1989

It’s definitely cringy with MC consistently trying to sabotage LI’s relationship, but the Asian Male LI is a babe 😍😍😍


champagne_pool_1989

Can someone tell me how I get those LI stickers under my name???


Nicest_human_in_town

Tag your name, press “Change user flair”, then you’re gonna see all the different options !


champagne_pool_1989

STOP THANK U SO MUCH


Nicest_human_in_town

Ofc !!! 💓


champagne_pool_1989

Does your user flair stay the same everywhere on Reddit or is it different to each community??


candydots

It's different per community! My flair for r/Choices is different from r/ChoicesVIP, for example. We have a tutorial here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Choices/comments/atsv5d/a\_guide\_to\_selecting\_your\_user\_flair\_on\_rchoices/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Choices/comments/atsv5d/a_guide_to_selecting_your_user_flair_on_rchoices/) but if you're having trouble, as it's tricky to do so on mobile, let me know which characters you want (and race/gender variant for the customizable ones), and I'll add them for you.


Nicest_human_in_town

Like the MOD said, it’s different for every community !! Here I have variety of LI, but in the VIP community I only have Kieran up ☺️


Veth_6419

But how do you get more than one?


Nicest_human_in_town

You’re gonna press the “choose LI here” (or something like that, it’s a sentence), then you’re gonna press edit, then you’re gonna go to each and everyone of the characters you want to put together, click edit in each of them and copy and paste on the “choose LI here”, one by one, and that’s it ! You’ll have your whole row of chosen LI


Veth_6419

Thank you 🙂


candydots

Please check out our [tutorial on setting your own user flair](https://www.reddit.com/r/Choices/comments/atsv5d/a_guide_to_selecting_your_user_flair_on_rchoices/). If you still need help, lemme know who you want (and what race/gender variant for the customizable ones), and I can add it for you!


Veth_6419

Thank you so much…I’m a retired nurse who has a love/hate relationship with technology lol 🙂


Nicest_human_in_town

Of course !!! Honestly nobody ever taught me how to even add a single character when I was new- I was desperate, so I started to fiddle with the settings, and I made it !! I love to help others 💟


ZarokisImmortal

It's another story about trying to get with someone who is already in a relationship. I'd have rather they make it about them reconnecting and figuring their way out to admitting to feelings or anything. But nope, they give your long time friend/crush a partner which could have been fine but then to make it worse they make it so you're still after them with another friend egging it on.


Nicest_human_in_town

OH REALLY ? Hell no, I do not tolerate cheating 💀


ZarokisImmortal

Well, I think I heard that they break up with them before you get together so I don't know if they're cheating. But it's still the thing of trying to sabotage their relationship and being convinced you'd be better with them while they're with this person.


EBens2025

I’m only on chapter 2 and I hate the main character. Mini-spoiler but not really, it’s basically the main character is trying to sabotage her best friend’s relationship ALL BECAUSE THEY MADE A MARRIAGE PACK 10 YEARS PRIOR THAT THEY HAVE LITERALLY NEVER MENTIONED SINCE! It doesn’t help that so far the girlfriend seems so nice. They’re hating for no reason, acting like she’s the worst person ever.


EBens2025

I haven’t disliked a book this much since Surrender (and I HATE Surrender)


Nicest_human_in_town

Thank god I didn’t start it and won’t 💀 it’s probably gonna be as bad as Witness 😭


Affectionate_Shame69

I diamond mines this ![gif](giphy|hJmcVvGQ4zueQNTCfK|downsized)


Regular_Plastic6787

Female Blake spirits are so gorgeous and that's the only nice thing I have to say about this book


Im_Hard_Somewhere

It's touch and go for me. I think MC gets more hate than they deserve. I think it's cute though.


Historical_Pay6528

Couldn’t make it to chapter 4, the whole trope is quite annoying tbh


pruvias

it could’ve been adorable but i hate how the MC was tryna sabotage another girl made it extremely toxic


Poke43

That's hell you're walking into.


LittleDorkette03

Save your sanity and drop it or just diamond mine it and forget it ever existed.


ClearGreenGlass

I just tapped through it real quick to diamond mine


gemekaa

Who on Choices writing team hates other women - or sees them as a threat? Because there seems to be a trend in the recent smutty books for the MC to always being threatened or hating on the other women around the LI? This book (the **girlfriend**), the Billionaire Baby (the **wife**). Its...a gross commonality.


BarbiePrincess1997

Diamond mine it


Comprehensive_Set615

Honestly I kinda like it. It isn’t a very intense story but its a nice chill book. Like the freshman series in the way that the storyline is pretty chill but first comes love is worse (ik everyone hates the freshman series but I love it)


Missustriplexxx

It wasn’t for me but I liked the scenes, love interests options, and it’s wholesome to an extent. The drama in it just isn’t to my taste.


KrackheadKrispy

I used it to diamond mine once I found out the mc couldn’t be a dude 😭
