I first want to commend the programmers of this game. The graphics are good, the characters are well conceived and gameplay is fairly straightforward. The way the app is run, however, is why I am leaving a 1 star review. The stories I’ve read have been really entertaining, but I really don’t think 1 and a half stories should have cost me $90. And I didn’t even use all of the premium options. The “free” version of the stories is threadbare and make the characters seem pathetic and uninteresting. The only way to inject humor and spice into the stories is to use diamonds. I’m talking lots and lots of diamonds; hundreds of diamonds. And the other ways to earn diamonds, other than buying them, are ridiculous. Most choices require 17-40 diamonds. The app lets you earn diamonds 1 at a time, and there are very low limits on how many you can earn in a day. I felt like I was paying a ransom to free the actual story. It strikes me as being incredibly greedy.

My other problem is in the lack of oversight. There is a story in the “taptales” section that is a straight cut and paste of an older story on a different website. Comments have been left for the past 4 months about the issue, but there is no sign it has been looked into. Basic oversight and accountability should not rest solely on the players’ shoulders.

This game is a complete rip-off. Don’t waste your money on this “free” app.

Do not play this app (game?) unless you want to waste money and be frustrated. The only “decisions” you get to make for your character for free are things like “do you say ‘hi,’ ‘hello,’ or ‘what’s up?’” Most decent decisions cost 17 diamonds. You can earn 5/day from watching 5 ads, and you earn one at the end of a chapter. But there are SEVERAL decisions to make per chapter. So to make the decision they know the reader wants, it will take you 3+ days of watching ads. It would take you weeks to finish one chapter that way, so I was a sucker and bought diamonds. I’m so annoyed at myself, but I’m a Jennifer Armentrout fan and was excited Obsidian was on here. Some examples of choices are—your friend looks upset. Ignore her or tell her to get over it, or for 17diamonds ask her what’s wrong. I went through most of the story having my character act like a complete witch with no redeeming qualities because those were the only free choices. And where’s the fun in that.
The idea is neat, but the execution is horrible. If anything buy stock in this app because these people have to be making a ton of money. It would seem less of a rip-off if you could choose to watch more ads to earn diamonds or something.
What I would recommend is scroll through the stories to see if any grab your attention, then just read the actual book it’s based on.
YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!👆🏻

I have mixed feelings about the app. I just re-downloaded the app about a week ago, and within that week I’ve come to a few different conclusions. I’ve only read two stories so far. One story I finished, the other I’m on the last few chapters. I can honestly say that I do like the actual stories so far. Both stories that I’ve read have been LGBTQ+ stories, which are the only two LGBT stories I can find. It bothers me that there is barely any diversity on this app. You can’t even really customize the characters to how you’d like them to look. Another thing that bothers me is the diamonds system. Now, I’ve seen this complaint a lot in the reviews. That should say something to the app developers. It’s highly inconvenient that I have to either pay hard earned money for diamonds, or just choose the option without diamonds. How am I supposed to make a choice that costs me 12-20 diamonds when I only have 7, and only get one per finished chapter? Someone in the conference room needs to reevaluate their math skills... Also, the problem with that is, the story will not go the way that I wanted it to. Which makes me disinterested with the book and wanting to just stop reading it and deleting the app altogether. Now, one thing I do like about the app is the taptales. They’re very interesting and don’t require you to make choices, meaning you don’t have to pay for some choices. I really think some drastic changes need to be made immediately.
