This is not ok:sob:
29 gems for FRECKLES
Even outfit choices are cheaper than this. Heck, even intimate moments with love interests are cheaper

Yea, that’s why the only gem offers I’m putting in my story are the author support ones at the end cuz ik how I feel when I read a story and can’t choose the path I want because of gems.

How do you know which outfits are gonna be added to your profile
Not to mention they force new readers to read these featured stories with those ridiculously priced choices so by the time they unlock the full catalogue to access reader stories they’ve already spent whatever gem’s they’ve saved up or bought. This tactic goes deeper than you think it does
