𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤. — like, there's a line between teasing and straight up harassment; they didn't just cross it, no no, they erased it.

𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬 — at the kid. absolutely preposterous! absurd! ridiculous! you?? ugly??? there's no way! their laugh was so loud, it attracted the suspicion of not only you and the kid, but everybody else in the general vicinity of the scene.

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐭 — agrees with the kid, probably cackling once they heard the words come out from the culprit's mouth. the moment you turn around, however they flip the child off.

Cadybear's Re-Reviews- Ride or Die

Welcome to the first of Cadybear’s RE-Reviews! In Re-Reviews, I of course reassess my original opinion of a story I’ve recently replayed. Maybe my opinion has changed, or maybe it still holds up and I have further thoughts.

Today I will be re-reviewing Ride or Die, the seventeenth review I’ve done. The last time I played this story was 3 years ago, in May 2021. I last reviewed it in March 2024, putting it on the Wood Tier with a 3 stars out of 10 rating. As of my most recent replay however, I can comfortably put it on the Gold Tier at 8 stars out of possible 10.

Sooooo… My opinion on this story has changed VERY drastically as per my second replay.

The first time around, I did not care for this book. The plot felt poorly paced to me, with too much happening at once. To the point where I said it caused me actual mental distress trying to keep up with it. And I found the whole mood and writing far too melodramatic for what I felt was supposed to be a shallow relationship between MC and the Mercy Park Crew. It was far from being one of the worst to me, but I still found myself speaking very harshly about it. And it shows in my original review.

This time around, I had much more ease in following the plot. I don’t know why. But it is a pretty solid story, and I actually found myself quite invested in what was gonna happen next. There were definitely some parts where I found myself tuning out a bit and had a bit of trouble following, but for the most part, it was a decent and enjoyable story. And because I could follow the story better this time, I could follow some of the more emotional themes of it.

I actually had quite a bit of fun with this MC. Even though she is often pushed as this ingenue/innocent type character, it’s not too overbearing, and she isn’t made to be outright spineless or passive. And they do have some flexibility in their character too– we get quite a bit of variety in how we behave towards the other characters, how we act in certain situations… and that’s something I always appreciate. There are even some choices that directly affect the story, particularly the ones where you choose if you focus more on studying or more on spending time with the Crew– and if I’m not mistaken, it affects whether your MC becomes valedictorian or salutatorian. Buuuuut, and correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that’s about as far as the “affects the story” choices go.

And I actually found a lot of these characters very endearing. Toby and Ximena were very vibrant and charming and easily my favorite members of the crew. Riya and Darius… I remember being a tad more annoyed with them in my first playthrough, but this time I found them to be very interesting and pleasant characters.

And by far, my favorite character is certainly MC’s Dad. Oh my God. Even in my first playthrough, I think I did always have a bit of a soft spot for him. He’s just such a sweetheart, and a lot of the interactions and scenes between him and MC were quite emotional to me, I will admit. Even though he is a bit overprotective, it feels backed by understandable well-meaning intentions rather than some over-the-top “if anything happens to my daughter I got a .45 and a shovel” stereotype.

I’d say it definitely puts a fair amount of twist on the stereotypical “goody two shoes good girl x immoral tough bad boy” trope. While Logan’s route definitely upstaged those of Colt and Mona, the story doesn’t revolve entirely around MC’s relationship with him (or any of the other LIs really). The dad was a very sympathetic character, and like I said before, his protectiveness felt well-intentioned and not over-the-top. And rather than a stereotypical “MC runs away with the bad boy” ending, she’s instead allowed to grow and change to independence through her experience while still sticking true to her academic and family values.

Of course, I do still think this book is pointlessly genderlocked. The storyline with MC wanting independence and Dad being overprotective could still work with a male MC, to be honest. And Logan’s character I think would have also still worked as a woman if he was GOC.

The handling of the LIs is probably my biggest problem with the story. I did find Logan a lot more interesting of a character in my replay, but my God, is he a screentime hog. Although the seemingly forced attraction between him and MC is really only pushed in the first couple of chapters, the story is still blatantly biased towards him. By the halfway point of the book, we’ve only gotten one premium scene option with Mona, two with Colt, but plenty with Logan.

Now, in my first review, I said that I don’t understand why Logan is so god damned special and why he of all the LIs was the main LI. But here, I think I would phrase that a bit differently: I don’t get why Logan is far more special or important than the other two LIs.

This time around, I was able to follow Logan’s special reason for taking interest in MC. Quite simply, he was employed to be a sort of “honey trap”. He and Teppei Kaneko knew that MC’s dad was a cop and had been assigned to track down the MPC, and so Kaneko had Logan charm MC and lure her into their group in order to possibly manipulate the Dad and his case. Narrative wise, I do think this is fine, but it doesn’t justify him getting more scenes than Mona and Colt.

Personally, I still found Colt the most compelling and developed of the LIs, due to the whole conflict between him and his dad. And Mona is an interesting character too, in that she was once a straight-A’s “good girl” like MC but had gone down a bad path and ended up being stuck as a criminal. These are genuinely interesting character types! Yet for some reason, the story acts like these are much less important and significant than Logan’s character, so much so that they have far fewer premium scenes.

Seriously, Mona is given so few interactions with MC and premium scene options, that it’s honestly hard to feel for any relationship between the two of them. So it still feels 100% like she’s just the token f!LI (and the story’s subtitle still isn’t helping matters).

And even all that aside, I do think the romance aspect is a bit melodramatic, kind of? Like, MC and these LIs have only known each other for, what, a month? Three months? Yet they try to push the LIs as having these deep feelings of love for the MC and make it seem tragic when they eventually have to go their separate ways. If it was more of a “I like the idea of dating you” type of thing, I’d feel for it a bit better, but no, they have the LI outright say “I love you” to MC at prom. I understand that MC and the crew did have a major impact in each others’ lives, but it was hard for me to buy it or feel it was earned when Colt confessed his love for MC.

To be fair, they do allow MC to not return the feelings and point out that they don’t know each other as well, and ultimately treat their romantic interactions as just a small thing. Though I do think it’s weird that they have MC still care about the group even after learning that both Colt and Logan had essentially manipulated her. I mean, Mona, Ximena, and Toby, I can kind of get why MC would still care about them. But with Logan and Colt… I don’t fully buy MC still being that eager to help them. But yeah, we are allowed to treat the romance as less serious and more brief, which I quite appreciated.

Frankly, I think the romance is better when played that way, as a brief fling that was never meant to last or become deeper. Not all relationships get to develop or have a happy ending. I’m fine with a story’s romance routes being more shallow and fling-y, but the story itself needs to treat them as such. ROD somewhat does that, but at times it does also try to frame it the same way of regular more developed Choices romance routes, and that does take me out of the story a bit.

As for the ending… I was okay with it before, but I can honestly appreciate it much better now. I’d said in my previous review that even if I did like the story, I probably would not have wanted a sequel for it. And that still holds true. MC not getting a happily ever after with her LI is certainly different from the usual Choices ending (again, why couldn’t books like TNA, FCL, Surrender, and TBB have this), but I like it not just because it was different, but primarily because it felt appropriate to the storyline and MC’s experience with the crew.

It makes much more sense for MC’s relationship with the crew to be more like a short-lived fling that was never meant to become deep. In the end, it allowed MC to break free from her usual studious and family-focused routine and a taste of adrenaline-fueled independence, and now she gets to move on and start a new adventure as someone who is still studious and cares about her family but is also more independent.

And unlike other books that got their sequels suddenly canceled like ATV or Hero, the note that this story ended on was fairly conclusive, and it doesn’t really need a continuation. I still wouldn’t have been against the sequel idea (MC being targeted and having to bring the group together again after graduating college) that was revealed in Storyloom, as I do think it’s an interesting idea to explore (as long as there would be a choice for the ending where we don’t get back with our LI)– but it does work just fine without.

Of course, I still don’t quite get why people have praised this as one of the bests/most legendary of Choices. In my original review, I said that even if I did like this book, I wouldn’t consider it quite one of Choices’ bests. And I do think that opinion still holds true. As of now, I do like this story well enough. I find it fun, action-packed, with a solid coming-of-age narrative and even some strong emotional moments. It does do a fair amount of things differently, but… it wasn’t quite enough to really stand out and *wow* me.

Overall, I’m glad I gave this story a second chance.

If you could have a poly/ot3 route with any two LIs (so the MC dates both of them and they date each other) which ones would you pick? 😁

i think i'd have to go with Alex x MC x Medusa for my top OT3 that i'd want! i already think about it a lot, it would just be so fantastic <333

but i'd also really REALLY enjoy:

Abel x MMC x Lucas Lucien x MC x Roman Vivienne x MC x Zoe Andi x MC x Lorelei Andi x MC x Juliette Antonio x MC x Diego (it would be so fucking funny) Alain x MC x Helena (but i dont want helena and alain dating each other tho) Mackenzie x MC x Annabelle who i know technically isn't an LI but 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 Aurora x Astoria MC x Medusa (this is a guilty pleasure ship tbh) Arin x FMC x Nora Jessa x Alien MC x Nav (but again i dont want Jessa and Nav dating each other) JD x MC x Razi (again. hilarious potential.) Jett x MC x Remy Renzei x MC x Zeke Cal x MC x Darius (AGAIN. WOULD BE VERY FUNNY.) Alex x MC x Hydra Alex x MC x Astraeus

im gonna stop before i just list every possible ot3 combo one could imagine :^) thanks for asking though, i really like indulging in my ot3s :)

Ow - Sin With Me - Darius x MC (Suzi)

Can you do a story please for LI of your choice using the prompt “Why didn’t you tell me you were hurt?” Requested by @simpsonjenna1 - I’m sorry for how long it’s sat in my ‘to do’ bundle. I think it might be coming up on 6 months so I hope you still want to read it lol, I’m not fast, but I do get there in the end...

TW - I know people don’t like feet, so please note that this is about feet. Could have went for something demony, life-threatening angsty and dramatic, but nope, I’ve picked fluff and sore feet - LOL I’m an idiot 😆

Words 800

[MORE] [[MORE]]

“Oh my- Look at- Babe?! Why didn’t you tell me you were hurt?!”

Suzi shrugs despondently as Darius holds her foot in his hand, gently shifting it around, shaking his head and trying to get good look at the utter mess Suzi’s new climbing boots had made of her feet,

“We were having fun, and you had been really excited about going, and it’s been ages since you’ve had a day off, and I didn’t want to ruin it.”

‘Can we go home? I’ve got sore feet.’ Sounded really lame, so Suzi had just sucked it up and ignored her blisters that felt like they were getting their own little blisters. And Suzi wasn’t going to say it out loud, but she had been more focused on watching Darius’s shirt ride up as he climbed, exposing those glorious, chiselled abs than she had been on the burning pain where her shoe was rubbing at her heel...

Darius looks appalled as he lets go of her left leg, picking up the right one and grimacing some more,

“Never do that again? Look at the state of your feet? Suzi...”

Suzi mumbles, embarrassed because she knows it was stupid, and now that she sees how bad they are, she can’t decide which she regrets more: her stupid bravery or her unquenchable thirst...

“Yeah... This is much worse than I thought it would be...”

Darius raises an eyebrow,

 “Damn right, you’re not going to get proper shoes on either of those feet for a week...”

Suzi flops back onto the bed dramatically, only to have her wrist caught in Darius’ grip and pulled back up,

“Oh no. Let’s move...”

As Suzi gets to her feet she bites her lip.

“Ow. Ow!”

Every step hurts. How did she actually make it back? Darius takes pity on her after the third tentative step when she sharply inhales, hoisting her up into his strong arms, carrying her the rest of the way to the bathroom. She can’t make up her mind what’s better: being pressed tightly against Darius, or just not having to stand on her feet...? By the time she’s decided it was the former, Darius has sat her down on the edge of the tub, pressing a soft kiss to her lips. Suzi smiles into the warmth of him, her imagination starting to wander...

“Mmmmm. A bath sounds nice...”

Darius cheeks glow a little pink as he silences her with a slow, lingering kiss. Without breaking it, Darius reaches behind Suzi, running the tub a quarter of the way full. Suzi, paying no attention to what’s going on behind her, finds her hands wandering under Darius’s shirt, finding warm, taught skin, drawing him closer to her. Too infatuated by dark eyes and caresses, she hasn’t noticed that there’s no steam or heat coming from the tub. She almost whimpers when Darius pulls away, leaving her wanting and longing for more, retrieving a bottle from the cabinet and pouring some wonderfully scented tea-tree oil into the water.

Suzi stares longingly at Darius: hopping in the tub with him isn’t really going to do much to help her feet, but damn it’s a good distraction... Reaching for him to close the space between them, Suzi’s breath catches in her chest, she wants to pick back up right where they left off before he got the bath oil...

‘Seems like he’s got the same idea...’

Darius’s lips are on her neck, his teeth grazing the sensitive skin, and it feels so good that Suzi’s collapsing into him, practically forgetting she even has feet... She groans as Darius shifts her in his muscular arms, lifting her up, turning her as he kisses her shoulder, until suddenly Suzi lets out an almighty shriek, loud enough to be heard all over Las Vegas!

“COLD!! COLD!! YOU!! YOU!!”

Darius is trying his best to look sorry as Suzi gasps for air, his hand firmly holding her feet in the tub, but the smile he’s tamping down is crinkling up his eyes and threatening to turn into peals of laughter,

“Keep your feet in there, Suzi. Getting into the cold water is the worst part, I saved you having to think about it. Better just to dive straight in...”

Suzi scowls at him, knowing that he’s actually right, but she sure as hell isn’t about to tell him that! She turns her face away from him, rejecting the kiss her offers her, huffing,

“Oh it’s going to take waaaaay more than ‘that’ to make up for this trickery!”

Darius hook his finger under her chin, and Suzi makes a show of allowing him to direct her, his eyes burning as she meets them,

“Good job I don’t have any other plans tonight, then...”
