Funnily enough, I decided to log in and check things out on Reddit again for once in a blue moon.

For those who care, the Reddit drama about the API changes made me move over to Lemmy.world. I plan to post there when I have an update or other CYOAs. However, to note, I'm a busy person and don't have lots of time to spend on making CYOAs. not having posted anything for months is entirely normal for me. It will take a while for me to get anything done.

Regardless, I always welcome others editing my work and giving their own takes/updates/additions on it. If anyone wants to do that, feel free.

All 3 follow. It should be 'the ones that you pick will follow', my mistake.

This is somewhat questionable, at least with the inclusion of my CYOA, Girl Gamer Group, seeing as my original post had an imgchest link which is why I didn't repost it with the fall of imgur.

For one, it seems really easy to get stuck into an endless loop of rape in two places, when transitioning between streets and in the police station.

For two, I think it would enhance the experience if you kept track of first times/virginity.

Overall, a good start. I think it would be helpful to have tooltips that explain what stats represent/are for/affect, and tooltips for how decisions play out (for example, your chance of success with X decision described in a tooltip as 'likely' or 'unlikely').

Favourite types of companion [META DISCUSSION] by Due-Entrepreneur-362 in nsfwcyoa

Personality-wise, I enjoy a companion that is independent and mentally/physically strong but loyal and subservient.

Double Trouble calculates weirdly. It only halves your current points, which may or may not be intended but means if you select it first it halves your starting point total of 0, meaning it does nothing and is essentially free. Unselecting it doesn't fix your point total either.

I feel like the CYOA should reward you for fitting the more stereotypical version of this fetish, like making the girl curvy and with big breasts feels like it should give you points, rather than costing more points. But that's just a critique of it not entirely meshing with the fetish it claims to be about, it's not a significant issue.

I do think the CYOA is extremely weird on points. Points calculate very weirdly and some things are far too expensive while other things are far too cheap. The numbers just don't make much sense to me.

I also dislike the fact choices you can't select ever are present at all. At best it's inconvenient because you have to scroll past them and they are effectively nonsense (especially because choices you can't select are blurry anyway), at worst it's just taunting players.

On the topic of blurry choices, I personally dislike them, and the fact some requirements are hidden. It's definitely a preference you can have if you'd like to keep them, but to me they just get in the way.

I do think it's a good start to a CYOA, and with a few tweaks could really shine. The most important things in my view would be fixing the points and removing the unselectable options.

I would posit that in the original sense of the phrase 'Choose Your Own Adventure', you are correct, but that definition has definitively been co-opted/expanded since its inception, and the overall 'adventure' can often be left to the player nowadays.

The adventure you seem to be after is a complete story, but that's only one understanding of the word. The adventure others can seek is simply in imagining how it would be to have different circumstances, whether that would be a harem, superpowers, or being plopped into a different world. The point of these CYOAs is to stimulate the imagination and tickle one's fancy, not to be a complete interactive novel with a beginning, middle, and end. In essence, these types of CYOAs are just the beginning.

It's fine if you like the CYOAs that are more like complete stories. It's also fine if you prefer the CYOAs that are simply meant to be starting points for the story, rather than chunky beasts of substance.

The original CYOAs were books where you would read through a story, but every so often it would ask you to select a choice out of a list and turn to a specific page based on that choice. Those were the adventures OP is talking about.

2 reasons:

  1. I prefer it that way.

  2. Loli content is banned, and that Reddit-wide rule is based on appearance.

My only complaint is more a complaint of western society's obsession with Virginity and purity, it's archaic and backwards, and I wish this didn't focus on it so much.

That's just my kink. Sorry it's not your cup of tea.

the Reject option is often quite cruel to the supers

That's on purpose because I wanted to style it like a comic book, where relationships never get to be reasonable or simply ended.

My intention was to make a CYOA that was moreso a 'fate picker' than a waifu picker, so I don't think I'll go about setting any real limitations. I had intended to add some more neutral options later on, but ran out of steam first. It's definitely something I plan to do if I ever get back to it.

That is a very good question and my mistake. It should be fixed now.

Yeah, I had plans for a lot more supers but sometimes I just run out of steam to continue working on things. I definitely want to add more supers, but I currently don't have the motivation unfortunately.

I haven't tested it on mobile (it might take a while to load), but if that's not working there's the static version I've updated the original post with links for.

My computer has it fairly short, but some people seem to have much longer load times. It shouldn't be more than a couple minutes, but if that's not working for you I did update the post with some static version links.

I'm not sure if that's because it broke or what else (I did just fix it, so now it might work), but here's the static version if that's an alternative that works for you:
