Alright, I love this ask! Ok, so these are some of my favorite IFs and ones I continually return to. I greatly enjoy character dynamics, so if you like that aspect in my works, you may like these. 😁

I need to lead with A Tale of Crowns @ataleofcrowns one of the first IFs I ever read and one of the biggest inspirations for me to write my own. Every character is unique—I could romance each and every one. I love all the interactions and dialogue, and the story is unique and incredibly well written.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention a certain slutty waist. 😏 It should come as no surprise that God Cursed @wings-of-ink is one of my faves. Every character, from the ROs to our dads, is incredibly well fleshed out and a joy to read. Highly recommend!

Stygian Sun: Total Eclipse @stygiansun-totaleclipse grabs you in a chokehold from the very beginning and doesn’t let go. The characters and their interactions are unforgettable, as is the story itself.

Softly, Opulent @softlyopulent-if is another chokehold, sucker punch to the gut IF 😭 but so, so good! It just had a rewrite, I believe.

The Abyssal Song @ri-writes-if is another good one with wonderful characters. Every RO is delicious! The amount of branching within each route is extensive, almost like several stories in one. I recommend multiple playthroughs!

Arcadie: Second Born @sofia-d-asb is also one of the first IFs I ever read and one that inspired me greatly.

The entire Crème de la Crème series by @hpowellsmith is excellent, but my absolute favorite of theirs is Royal Affairs.

The Lonely Shore @thelonelyshore-if is another excellent read. I am not a fan of horror but I absolutely love this IF, so that should be testament to how good it is!

College Tennis Origin Story @collegetennisoriginstory has so many good ROs it’s difficult to choose! If you’re drawn to the childhood friend ROs, I highly recommend Sam’s route!

When Life Gives You Lemons @when-life-gives-you-lemons-if is an absolutely lovely read. The romance and spice in this is so good, but it’s also genuinely such a cozy story to read.

Their Majesties’ Pleasure @leiatalon is another great blend of comfy and spice!

Fields of Asphodel @chrysanthemumgames is a lovely read with beautiful characters. If you’re looking for a comfy, feel good read, this is the one.

And if you’re looking for a fun adventure with unique and memorable characters and loads of customization, Party of Four @partyof4game is it!
