I feel for you, anon. I was torn between feeling discouraged at my decision-making ability (well, that ... could have gone better) and feeling like whoever wrote those books was a preachy, unimaginative, judgmental jackass. But looking back, I think it's the latter.

When you're getting much better outcomes in your life than you are in your light reading, like I was, there's something wrong. :p When there are more rainbows in the sprinklers watering parched, yellow lawns on your way home from school than there are in a stereotypically fantasy CYOA novel (+2 rainbow), there's definitely something wrong.

They were particularly disappointing when they were based on literary works of note, I think, because whoever wrote the adaptation seemed too cowed by the original story to add anything important to it. But ... er. Adding a protagonist? By definition, that's supposed to be important. So you were either stuck being a nobody POV character with silly, fabricated relevance to the real action being carried by the adults, or the story cut you off immediately if you strayed from the canon path. I think what I liked the least was that the idea of being able to choose something diffrerent from where the story originally went appealed to me powerfully, so the letdown when it was half-heartedly executed was bad. Fanfic isn't better than most whole genres, but for what-ifs and developed AUs, it blows all the CYOA books I've ever seen out of the water. I wish I'd known about it back then.
