as well-written as this is, it very much feels like one of those ‘the illusion of choice’ type situations. despite it allegedly being left to the pc, the style and wording in which a lot of this story is written makes me think that the author simply wanted to write a f/m fantasy romance novel but instead chose to make it interactive and as a last minute thought, added other gender options. still, I can see the passion and love in the writing, so kudos to that
