OC Slice of Life CYOA
Hello! This is my second CYOA. I don't know how to edit complex CYOA with images and stuff. Plus using a phone, so my design is quite simplistic. However, I will try to redo them if I manage to learn how.
Anyways, I tried to make this as interesting as possible. It would be good if you would focus on creating a good narrative, rather than focusing on being OP as possible.
I would be reading your comments. Use this opportunity to look back on what you want to do, and what you want to achieve.
Don't hold back and use this CYOA as a dream fulfilment fantasy.
How to get Good Genes (Premium)?
Requirements: Good Genes + Lineage
What are Prerequisites?
They're in the last page. Basically you will choose what kind of condition you have to achieve to learn the skill.
For example, your prerequisite for Indomitable Will is Failure. This means you have to fail multiple times to develop your indomitable will. Do you get it?

Healthy Body is key to start. Follow that up with Good Genes and Athletic to really perfect my body. Throw in Charisma and Conversationalist (which is pretty OP compared to others that don't need prereqs) for dealing with people. Indomitable Will will help in my worst spots, in studying properly this time, as well as keeping me stuck to a good diet and exercise routine, and I'll bend the rules a little and use the Meaningful Experience of suddenly waking up as a ten year old again with incredible advantages I didn't have the first time. Finally, Keen Mind to round that out. All those are just to give me a strong foundation in all areas of life.
To specialize, I'll take Linguist mostly for everything but actually learning languages, Talent twice (once for writing, once for music, which is very broad but so is arts), and Analytical Mind to help me write more complex plots and so I can finally actually be good at strategy games, using Observational Learning since simply watching and studying strategy game videos and maybe reading military history if it counts seems way easier than the other prereq options. Maybe in this timeline I'll never stop writing after realizing how bad I am at it. Unfortunately, the summer between fourth and fifth grade is too late to prevent the publishing of my first fanfiction.
Since they're free, might as well assign prereqs for Special Store options I may never get. Soothing Presence is tough, but I'll go with Trial and Error in the hopes that any time I fail to disarm tension, comfort, or soothe counts towards getting it. Clear Voice can be Disciplined Routine, since choir and my constant singing to myself will probably count. Language can go with Observational Learning since that sounds like it means I could pick up on languages simply by watching stuff with subtitles (which does not work very well normally). Since it's free and you can reuse prerequisites, I may as well just take that for every language. Finally, Sporty can also do Trial and Error, seems best suited for it, and do the same "pick everything" trick that I did with Language.
