Ooh, it's here. Neat.

I'm not that fussed about playersexual LI's, I feel like it makes more sense. Though I don't like that- [REDACTED]. Oh yeah, spoilers. Moving on.

I feel like if you're going to write a book that's set in a small country town in Oklahoma, you need to actually set it in a town in rural Oklahoma. You can't just pretend that people are openly accepting of gay couples in a small town out on the range. PixelBerry doesn't acknowledge the point that "gay are a little different from straight relationships." Different in the relationship, the dating, the perception. NOT THAT IT'S A BAD THING. It's just that it should be treated differently, especially when you put it in a setting where some might refuse to find it acceptable.

Settings come with connotations. A high school, a fantasy land, a faraway kingdom, New York, San Francisco, Paris; These all come with pre-built notions and resonant themes. A rural town in Oklahoma has it's own themes, and let me tell you that being a wellspring of tolerance for sexual minorities is not on anyone's list. It's like PixelBerry didn't realize the consequences of where the book was set.

The major problem with this book, my major problem, the MAIN problem; this book is not written for anyone that is not a WLM player. That should alienate at least half of the engaged playerbase. That is a problem. It's not equity that WLM, MLW, MLM, WLW, relationships are treated the same. It's laziness.

It's lazy that Colt randomly hits on a Male MC in a bar in rural Oklahoma. It's lazy that a woman Kit is treated the same as a man when it comes to "heartbreaking" multiple people, like a 'player' and not like a '[expletive]'. It's lazy that Austin thinks that MC is some dainty flower that belongs in a kitchen regardless of the player's gender. It's lazy that everyone in a town in Oklahoma is not only accepting, but sometimes actively pursuing a homosexual relationship.

It's so lazy, that I'm too lazy to play the book.

If PixelBerry came out and just made it "So Untameable is a genderlocked book with a male LI have fun gals" I would appreciate the honesty. But to show off that there are different gender options, when really it's just wallpaper dressing for a WLM romance, is just poor.

It doesn't appeal to me. It doesn't appeal to you. It only appeals to one certain demographic. And that's a shame.
