/cyoa/ - Choose Your Own Adventure

These masochism/submission CYOAs are baffling to me. Why would you want to pretend you're a worthless creature, doomed to play in their little sandbox while titans move above you? Why would you want to pretend that no matter what you do you'll always be under someone's (or something's) thumb? Why would you want to pretend you only exist to fulfill someone else's needs? These things are the reality around you, why would you want to create a fantasy echo?

Having read both thoroughly I can only say "GAY!" to anyone who'd listen and "hope you die" to the lavender nigger. The author has managed to write a reprehensible and contemptible creature who I'll probably choose as a target in some other delusion game.

I was doing alright with the content but had to stop around page twelve. The descriptions were getting convoluted and annoying to follow.

Best ending. I give up my "throne" so to speak, so I have no direct power of rule, but I consider that a benefit. It means I don't have to worry about such things myself, and with the extreme level of prosperity and divine favor I can expect things to go fairly smoothly without needing to. I didn't even have to make things especially lewd. Yes people are a bit more horny and more open and touchy-feely (reformed etiquette, this choice mostly just amounts to groping) , and schools are dedicated more towards sexual skills rather than trade skills (though somehow magically providing both benefits) but overall not TOO much is changed in that area.

"Hybridization" is set up to create a society of varied monstergirls (-people, really, I don't have any sex limiters in place). Psychological changes are minimal, crossbreeding rules are simply that the child is the same as the mother, however (because magic) it's possible to sometimes give birth to an entirely unrelated "species" if it would be necessary to maintain populations.

Laws are said to be on a sliding scale, so I assumed that to mean that the worst level applies to the worst crimes. So for example with Crimson Law, murderers are "sacrificed", basically executed, whereas less severe violent crimes are punished harshly with either public "service" or mind wipes. I like that sexual crimes result in branding so that potential partners might know what they've done. The worst crimes essentially result in permanent exile, it's not clear how much power I have to define what's what though.

We'll bring the Recusant Freeholds into the fold. For thair own good, for the growth of the nation, and for the glory of Teiatat. We'll also apply for our Sect to be canonized, though I worry that it may not be accepted as I've only made my edicts minimally lewd.

I took perfect Immortality as well as a number of personal magic options. Honestly the magic was just filler, I had some excess negative Hubris I could spend and nothing really left to improve my society noticeably

I never liked Lavender. I don't have an impregnation/breeding fetish and there was never enough detail about the setting. Lavender Coronation is pretty good. Solves the setting issue, but I still don't see any reason to play original Lavender seeing as I get plenty of personal power as well as full customization in Coronation

>>10639

are they actually showing self awareness?

>everyone shat on this WORDSWORDSWORDS excuse for a CYOA on 8chan

>therefore don't post on 8chan

I don't go on Reddit so I sometimes wonder if its reputation as a circlejerk is overblown, then I see something like this.

>>10647

I don't know, even mold will react to stimulus.

I always liked lavender, because it's one of the more unusual CYOA's that explicitly say, "hey, it's awesome if you go and be the stereotypical ruler of everything, but if you just want to make a character that is super awesome at doing something and let other chumps worry about what to use your skills for, fucking go for it brah that's perfectly valid."

>>10652

>I don't know, even mold will react to stimulus.

My Starborn fungal elves take great offense to that.

>>10378

Mind sees the images anyway. An adult should be able to draw from words as well, given they tell a story and give context.

>>10797

I know you are trying to fit in, but you've got things backwards. Reddit makes low-quality images with minimal text because redditors have absolutely no attention span, just like you. If a CYOA is long and well written, regardless of whether or not it has pictures, odds are pretty good it's not from reddit, unlike you. You need to go back.

>>10355

Because there's people who like that. You do understand what masochism is, right ?

>>10816

Reddit makes shit cyoas. A shit cyoa is something like the Choose Your Housewife cyoa, where there is no text whatsoever, where the text is boring, or where the text is overdone. Here it is overdone. We have long cyoas on this board nigger. 1000AD, Eternal Arms and Divine Trials are all long. The Sins and Virtues cyoa would be unreadable if it didn't have images, and even then, for the sins at least, the images don't really show anything in detail. I still use my brain to imagine it. Not only that that, the descriptions here need images since a lot of them are all over the fucking place.

It's unironically harder to be funny, captivating or interesting than long, drawn-out and detailed, yet something that's captivating is far more fun to read because you want to keep reading. Here I just had to force myself after page 2. Reddit mentality is simply seeing things at a base level, here it shines through with "it's long so it must be good because effort went into it". I'm sure fags on deviantart also put effort into their so called "art", yet it's still dogshit. There is beauty in knowing when to stop and limiting yourself. Lord of the Rings is a Trilogy, each book isn't even that long when compared to something like Game of Thrones, and yet it is much more interesting, crafts a better world and will be remember, unlike GoT. If Tolkien were a redditor however, he'd have made it into a 10 book series, each thrice the size they are now and then complain when people drop it half way through. You are doing that right now. Images are required to keep the user interested. Fucks sake you didn't even add coloured text or a background, it's just a fucking word document that been changed into PDF.

>>10876

Images are nothing but a distraction. They never truly represent anything in a CYOA because they aren't made for the CYOA, they are just some bullshit grabbed off of the internet that sort of fits. The text is the only thing that ever matters.

Honestly, more (probably all) CYOAs should be text-only PDFs because images are a waste of time for the authors. They don't add anything of substance except to bring in illiterate retards who won't actually read the fucking thing to figure out how anything works anyway, and most authors will tell you that finding and adding images is the most time consuming and annoying part of creating a CYOA.

>>10876

It's a good read for us anon but don't waste your time with the redditor, normalfags can't learn.

>>10882

yes because colourless, barely formatted bricks of text in an equally black and white pdf is so, so much more preferable.

>>10888 (checked)

Well it's better than dicks in my face, so it's already better than half the shit posted in here lately.

>>10882

Yet the best cyoas have images. It's about not being a fucking lazy faggot and actually putting the effort in to find them instead of demanding people accept you for what you've done. I've made a few cyoas and I have a word document at 40K words which I could just make into a pdf and upload it, but you know what? I don't because no one fucking reads that much without visual stimulation on a computer screen. If I want to sit down and read, I'll get a book. Not some shit pdf made by a 14 year old on the internet.

>>10903

t. PDF creator

The only people who like this sort of shit are the people who make pdfs since it would be hypocritical for you to attack others on what you do yourself. It's like furries congregating together because they are all as shit as each other.

You're so fucking lazy you didn't even add images for the companions. I don't need a different image for every spell out there, but make a fancy background, add images to the companions and format the text in such a way so that it doesn't make my eyes burn.

>>10908

I was joking you autist. Well, half-joking. Pdfs or images, reddit is cancer and must leave. between the 2 i'd rather pdfs because they are less visual polution thus easier to ignore.

And remember to sage, faggot

>>10911

I'd rather images because they don't make my eyes bleed

>>10914

Hold the fuck up, are you saying those lewd cyoa with shitskin futa dick DON'T make your eyes bleed?
