‘I actually really liked Passport to Romance, especially Elliot. Though I also laughed at all the “Elliot is a serial killer” theories!’

sorry to disappoint you but I mostly flirted with Sumire and Marisa than with Elliot 😭😭

#my choices were strictly platonic with him #playchoices #what in the straight shit is this #passport to romance

Fun facts with Choices Girl!

Sumire is a trans woman and I will not accept any other opinions.

Go on, tell me I'm wrong.

I can't believe I'm writing a whole essay about CHOICES on a Monday morning, but I've realized that one big reason why I usually don’t like single LI books is that they always have frustratingly small and shallow supporting casts. Crimes of Passion, With Every Heartbeat, Getaway Girls, and The Princess Swap all have larger casts that I enjoyed and found myself invested/interested in, but those are only 4 out of 18 single LI stories. Every other single LI story either has a medium-sized cast that no one really cares about because the non-LI characters are pretty shallow (see: AVSP, Surrender, TNA, etc.) or extremely small casts with similarly one-dimensional background characters (see: Shipwrecked, TCH, WABR, KOD, TDA, etc.).

Yes, there are some exceptions, and of course, your mileage may vary re: liking specific characters. I know I personally liked Sir Montgomery and Longclaw from TCH, and Faith and Roy from KOD. I also liked the twins, Robin, and Sofia from TNA, although the latter two were often screwed over by the writers. But did anyone care about Jenny, Aditya, Will, Marisol, etc.? Does anyone actually like how Inez, Dutch, and the other stock characters from RWB are written? What about Austin and Mandy from Untameable? Reese, Sloane, and Mallorie from Surrender? Did anyone find the O'Connells to be compelling villains? What about Dr. Hale and Tak from Shipwrecked? I’m sure there are players out there who liked these characters or found them interesting (presumably the same people who fund unneeded sequels for many of these stories), but for me, they’re all so one-dimensional that I just can't be interested in them. And if I'm not interested in the characters, then I'm not going to be interested in the story.

On the flip side, multi-LI books tend to have larger casts, which makes sense, as these stories by nature cannot force the storyline to revolve around one singular character (except for when they clearly prioritize one LI over the others, but that's a rant for another time). When this is the case, I almost always find myself getting attached to a specific love interest or side character. Take It Lives, OH, ES, Blades, TCATF, TF, TE, and everything else in between: in these books, the MC has friend groups that don’t specifically revolve around their LI (although these friend groups almost always *include* their LIs!) and these side characters tend to have conflicts and storylines of their own. That’s very rarely the case with single LI books, which, imo, is just poor writing — if a large part of your cast exists just to revolve around one character, or to poorly fill friendship roles, rather than existing as characters on their own, that’s not good.

#playchoices #long post #if u actually read all of this ily #I will say I think I'm an outlier re: liking the cast of TPS #and sure there are multi LI books that also have small flat casts #(Passport to Romance and Baby Bump immediately come to mind) #but those types of stories are few and far between #And even in these stories you can tell the writers at least TRIED to give the side characters depth and complexity #even if the end result is less than stellar #That’s one of the things I liked about Sunkissed when I replayed it #it wasn't the greatest story ever but the LIs all have storylines strengths weaknesses and motivations of their own #As did MC's mom and sister #You can't say that about stories like Surrender or Untameable #And for the record I liked many of these stories! #I really enjoyed AVSP MM TCH and even FCL #But that doesn’t change the fact that single LI stories tend to suffer from having small shallow casts #And no not every book needs a big cast bc that can also be an issue (see: stories that prioritize one LI and sideline the others) #but when every single book being released has small casts and few characters to really be interested in #it gets old quickly #I also dislike when the cast is entirely made up of the MC's love interests and like one non-LI friend but that's a rant for another time
