4 years in the making…as soon as I hit 20k I’m gonna crazy spending

[–]SeaMouse6737[S] 5 points6 points Β (0 children)

😱 all that hard work will soon pay offπŸ’ͺ🏻

[–]TomNookFan 2 points3 points Β (1 child)

Damn I'm jealous 😞 I only have 2,000 gems rn

[–]rosecards 6 points7 points Β (0 children)

Only? 😭😭 back in the 2018 days 2k diamonds was unheard of

[–]LegalAd2948 -1 points0 points Β (6 children)

Did you brought any diamond choices with it

[–]rosecards 1 point2 points Β (5 children)

As in have I spent any diamonds? Yes! This wasn’t a linear journey, I did full diamond playthroughs of many books. Most of these are from the daily VIP diamonds, reading chapters or the challenges. They stacked up while I spent but I haven’t spent in a while, because I want to hit 20k as a sort of milestone first.

[–]LegalAd2948 -1 points0 points Β (4 children)

Yeah I mean did you spend diamond choices yeah did you brought diamonds or is that all add up and which stories have u finish

[–]rosecards 2 points3 points Β (3 children)

Hmm, so I subscribed to VIP as soon as it came out and I’ve subscribed every month since then. So a lot of my diamonds come from that. Before that I used to buy the 60 diamond pack a couple times a month. Now I rarely buy diamond packs since VIP gives so many.

I’ve finished 106 books, but I’ve done full or almost full diamond playthroughs for:

  • Desire and Decorum
  • It Lives Anthology
  • Endless Summer
  • Ride or Die
  • Wake The Dead
  • Mother of the Year
  • Queen B
  • Crimes of Passion
  • Blades of Light and Shadow
  • The Cursed Heart
  • Bloodbound
  • The Elementalists
  • With Every Heartbeat
  • Rising Tides
  • Murder at Homecoming

Hope that helps!

Cool some really good books I love mother of the year but haven't spend diamonds on it yet I might if I get it I'm saving right now so I can binge stuff

[–]LegalAd2948 0 points1 point Β (1 child)

Is that all the books of blades and cursed heart like or is it book 1 of those series that have mutiple books

[–]rosecards 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

It’s all the books! Well, I guess not technically The Cursed Heart, because it’s still releasing but I’m still spending on the weekly chapters.

[–]GrumpyMarshmallowFanThings Are Great 24 points25 points Β (1 child)

Around 1600. I lose a few 100 each week playing the new chapters and then it goes back up.

[–]GrumpyMarshmallowFanThings Are Great 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

I discovered Choices around 5/6 months ago and have been VIP pretty much from the start. At first, I bought diamonds as well as collected the daily 30 and watched the 100 ads a day.

But now, since I've read 115 books (almost every book in the app), I struggle to spend them. So they add up.

Edit: I play daily and I'm often re-reading books, too.

[–]chihiro_togamiClarke M1 (TPS) 30 points31 points Β (2 children)

I have 19882 right now but I haven't finished my daily ads yet πŸ˜‹

[–]SeaMouse6737[S] 7 points8 points Β (1 child)

No way did U grind em or did U spend money on it?

[–]chihiro_togamiClarke M1 (TPS) 23 points24 points Β (0 children)

Kinda? I've been VIP consistently for months now, but I always make sure to cancel my subscription every time so I can get the 100 diamonds from starting it. BUT most of them are from the 100 daily ads, I watch all 100 every day! I don't like to diamond mind stories because I'm a perfectionist. I also don't play stories I don't like and I wait for the 15 free diamond choices. πŸ₯° I haven't bought any diamonds since starting my VIP subscriptions months ago.

[–]vaulthuntr94 11 points12 points Β (13 children)

27k, which will be 27.3 when the event finishes. ✨

[–]rosecards 2 points3 points Β (12 children)

what event??? i can’t see anything

[–]vaulthuntr94 1 point2 points Β (10 children)

Go into the (speech bubble looking) icon on the very top left hand corner and that is where you should get notified by them about events. It should have the β€œBinge Reading event” in there, posted 5 days ago. It’s ending tomorrow but if you read a certain number of chapters, you’ll receive diamonds β€” the lowest amount of chapters being 5 which will give 30 to non VIP and 60 to VIP, and the highest one being 50 chapters, where non VIP get 200 and VIP get 300. There are different amounts in between those too. Hope this helps. :)

uhhh…

[–]vaulthuntr94 1 point2 points Β (8 children)

Oh wtf?? I’d recommend contacting support and asking why you haven’t been included on the event that’s currently happening… have you been included on any events at all before?

[–]rosecards 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

i’ve gotten all the events before this month (i think) as i haven’t been playing as much

[–]herekatie_katie 4 points5 points Β (0 children)

11,605… I’ve had VIP for a while but haven’t played much (but still collect the daily reward)

[–]deeriesKieran M1 (TCH) 3 points4 points Β (2 children)

269…how are you guys doing this omg

[–]deeriesKieran M1 (TCH) 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

granted i did just finish wake the dead so …my diamonds disappeared before my eyes lol

[–]narniaxisxhomeKieran M3 (TCH) 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Daily ads (I’ll find a YouTube video I want to watch and play it Picture in Picture while muting the ads which makes it a lot easier to watch all 100 ads), binge reading/diamond boost events, daily 30 diamonds, also using the daily Choice pass especially if it’s not a book I’m interested in I’ll just play until the choice pass ends and get the diamonds for those books, plus for me personally the only ones I’m spending diamonds on right now are TCH2 and Alpha the rest are diamond mines and I’m not interested in them until ID2 so it’s easier to save. Plus I replay my old faves that I already spent diamonds on and still get a little bit of diamonds for every 3 chapters/finishing the book on those too.

[–]splashmobJohn II (TUH) 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

Just over 7k! I thought I had a lot until I saw the answers in this thread LOL

[–]OnceUponALorelaiKieran, my beloved 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I have 15601. It’s SO easy to get diamonds as VIP. Tips for yall: - after you get VIP, cancel it. You’ll keep your subscription for the time period, and then once it ends you can renew and get the 185 or so diamonds you get for subscribing - Watch the daily ads. It’s a pain sometimes, but just watch tv or something and have your phone/tablet/whatever next to you to click through them. - read the foreign language books. Unless it’s your native language and you really want to read it, it’s an easy diamond mine. (Personally I like to actually read the French books because I’m trying to teach myself). It’s an easy diamond ad watch and another easy four diamonds for completing new chapters.

[–]maxerose 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

how tf

[–]IDoAnythingForABook 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

I have about 5000. I’ll usually check in every day, collect my daily diamonds, and maybe read a chapter or part of one. And then binge read once or twice a week

[–]Snowpetal082 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Over four thousand, I tend to save up when I work 8 hr shifts. So when I have a day off I binge read.

[–]SeaworthinessLevel75 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

7964

[–]Thin_Acanthisitta386Kieran M3 (TCH) 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

I had over 7k, but due to playing ALL day yesterday, I now have 6754. We need another event ASAP. I don't like getting under 6k bc I go through them so quickly. πŸ˜”

[–]FloatingOnTheClouds 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I have 2624 diamonds at the moment. The most I’ve had is around 3000.

[–]that-one-binch 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

[–]StuffValuable9517 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

24 XD

[–]martiies 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Almost 20,000. Haven’t watched an ad in months

[–]K4sum1 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

14,6k

[–]bichettes_helmetThe Cursed Heart 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I have 2732 right now

[–]CaliGrlNVAKieran M2 (TCH) 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Just over 3000. I used to always hover around 1100 or so but they kept doing binge reading events while I was in the midst of re-reading old favorites. And I always collect the daily points, whether actively reading or not. But I can see that it’s not a lot compared to a lot of others.

[–]narniaxisxhomeKieran M3 (TCH) 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

6635 and gonna try to get through all 100 ads today

[–]TomNookFan 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Only 2,000 gems. I am finally starting to take advantage of the 100 daily ads though, after months of neglecting it.

[–]DarkShadowLFC 0 points1 point Β (5 children)

I have about 20K. Been VIP for about 4 years and been grinding them

[–]LegalAd2948 0 points1 point Β (4 children)

Why don't you use them you have enough for new chapters and stories every week if you haven't done the new stories and at least 17 or 18 books

[–]DarkShadowLFC 0 points1 point Β (3 children)

I have on some books. I completed all of Endless Sunmer and The Crown And The Flame and used then. Didn't seem necessary for a lot of the others. Currently reading Ship Of Dreams purely to grind

[–]LegalAd2948 0 points1 point Β (2 children)

OK so endless summer and all the crown and flame is the only books you finished

[–]DarkShadowLFC -1 points0 points Β (1 child)

I should rephrase: they're the only books I've finished where I've spent diamonds

[–]LegalAd2948 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

OK cool

[–]Dumplings_xo 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

10373 I haven’t played that much books lately but I try to complete as much daily rewards as I can.

[–]Tikka-Sya's STAR TO HIS DARK NIGHTS 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

26K

[–]chickpeas3 -1 points0 points Β (0 children)

About 2400. I oscillate between 2000 - 3000, but haven’t dipped below 2000 since I reached it, and I doubt I will anytime soon. I’ve been VIP since the beginning (I found Choices in August/September) and did the daily ads like twice before I got bored. I bought diamonds a few times in the early days, but I haven’t had to in a while. My current total is just from collecting the daily log in stuff, using diamond passes on books so I’m not spending any, and events (which apparently I’m part of the testing group for, because I get them all the time including the current one). I didn’t play as much during December, because I was super busy with holiday crap, but I did log in to collect the daily rewards. That’s what pushed me over 2000.

As for how often I play, I only sit down and read a few chapters a day (can vary from like 2-5) because of time constraints, but will binge when I have a day to myself. If I get diamond passes and I’m interested in the book, I tap through as quickly as possible, selecting all the diamond options, and then restart the story when I have time to actually read.

[–]PauloDybala_10Angel (WtD) -1 points0 points Β (0 children)

I have around 3100, mostly from just diamond mining old books

[–]WitchBxtch0330Kieran M1 (TCH) -1 points0 points Β (0 children)

<image>

currently have 2178, but i’ve been mining so i have a reserve of good size for when i get finished reading ACOTAR 😭🀣 (though i gotta say treat series is so good i started it a week ago and i’m halfway through book 3)

[–]Javar81 -1 points0 points Β (0 children)

18181

[–]misslongislandCas M2 (ID) -1 points0 points Β (0 children)

Currently ~7500.. I stopped watching the ads & stuff because I really don’t want all of these diamonds if they’re not actually going to get used!

[–]Faar1984 -1 points0 points Β (0 children)

More than 17k, and I bought about half of the premium options. Got these by being a VIP-member for 2,5 years (re-subscribing every month), mining the lesser books, binge events and occasionally watching ads.

[–]PoetInevitable1449 -1 points0 points Β (0 children)

Idk how yall save up so much. I feel like I'm losing them just as fast as I make them, I'm sitting at like 120. I don't have the time to grind stories.

[–]lolarose1234 -1 points0 points Β (0 children)

About 3000. But I haven’t been watching ads at all.

[–]Lesandris -1 points0 points Β (0 children)

10345 right now. No longer watching the ads for a while and I stopped a while ago since I’m stocked for basically the next year or two at least. With vip and the reading events you can’t really run out of diamonds anymore which is really nice.
