My first attempt at an original CYOA concept (well, sort of, since it's a meta), focused on being a personification of a magic system. Hopefully it's not completely incoherent, and hope you enjoy!

Inspired by the Death Troopers novel by Joe Schreiber. When reading it I really thought they could have used some droids to help them out. So I drew a few allies. But then I got carried away. Choose a side, pick four, and let me know what happens. Or pit a team of droids against a team of zombies. Do whatever you want, but have fun. Hope you enjoy crude drawings.
Choose two OP choices to improve society. Whatever selections you make are implemented into all societies magically overnight.
NZT-48
A chemical is put into the drinking water of all countries, be it bottled or tap. Overnight, every single person unlocks 100% of their brain. Harmlessly, without affecting healthy, everyone gains photographic memory, extreme savant intelligence, golden charisma, and streamlined work ethic.
World Unification
Overnight, all nations announce a unification project. This project unifies all nations; all land, under one flag. Magically; all citizens will be at the very least 'okay' with this. The best part? You get to decide one of three governments: A dictatorship with you at it's center, A perfect, incorruptible egalitarian dream, or your own designed government. This unification will never be broken or undone, and no major wars, conflicts, or genocides will ever take place among humankind. And unless you take Selfless Rich, the corporations will remain as is.
Selfless Rich
Overnight, the rich, the 1%, become extremely selfless. Major gaming corporations actually listen to consumers, congressional leaders actually think of the people, and companies try to give their workers a much more fair wage first and foremost; even if they have to significantly reduce their own pay. Lastly; product quality becomes a much greater care.
Veil of Life
An island known as the 'Veil of Life' is discovered. It uncovers a liquid which can bring the dead back to life. Soon; labs begin to replicate this liquid and bring the dead back to life. Not only that, but this liquid seems to also heal incurable conditions, diseases, mental disorders, etc. It becomes an over-the-counter medicine. Oh; and if you're worried about population, this medicine also works on food, so the price of all food and quality of food goes down dramatically as well. Also; all countries agree that the Veil of Life can never be claimed by any single nation or corporation.
Energy!
Infinite energy! Yup- you heard that right. Infinite Energy. Power bills disappear overnight, the extremely energy-hungry projects now have a bottomless source of energy. Coal and Oil Plants go offline within a few days, and humanity now has the potential of utilizing previously impossible technology. If only we had the intelligence to wield such power...
Gaia's Great Reset
Gaia gives humanity a second chance and gives Earth a complete biological reset (only for the environment). Atmospheric carbon crawls back to Pre-Industrial Levels, all Oceans are scrubbed of waste and plastic, and all Soil regenerates to peak fertility. Additionally; Gaia adds an extra gift. Deserts become habitable and full of lush green grass, as well as the Coldest places on the planet. Extinct species return overnight, and in 1,000 years and every 1,000 years from that point on, Gaia will bless our planet again. Oh- and Natural Disasters? Forget 'em.
Maturity
Overnight, all humans with an Ego, Prejudices, Hatred for others, Biases, Sick Obsessions, etc. have all of those thoughts disappear overnight. Simply put; if World Unification unites the governments, Maturity unites the people. Everyone learns what is wrong with their behavior, gains clarity on how to act, and becomes far more understanding and willing to learn/accept fault... except Governments and Corporations, unless you take those options too.
A.I Uprising?
No- not an A.I Uprising. But what A.I actually is changes overnight when a Futuristic, Unknown Spaceship crashlands onto Earth. Now- the ship is gone. Disappears in the oceans never to be found. But the 100,000+ Futuristic Robotic Servants say they were sent here by another long-gone species. They want to help change things and, in exchange for becoming servants of humanity (not Governments or Corporations, rather, servants of the people) they begin producing more of themselves. They become real life superheroes, helping those in need where their futuristic technology can help out.
So, here's the scenario:
You've met someone. It does not matter how or where, if it's romantic or platonic, the thing is, you're both really digging each other.
They are a perfect match for you, exactly what you need to make your life happier right now, hours of conversation or comfortable silence, tons of interesting topics, which inevitably made you talk about your CYOA passion and lo and behold: they want in, and they don't want to be eased in, with you sending a simple picker, they want your ALL TIME FAVORITE (which can be a simple picker surely).
So, hit them up with the CYOA that you think is the best of the best, no matter if it's short, long, NSFW, SFW, action, fantasy, slice of life or whatever.
(P.s: I would say just the one, but if you're really unable to pick one, you can try your top 2 or 3, max)
Hopefully I got all the errors out, but I bet I didn't. Enjoy.
This update is just a big set of spells, including a new school of magic to do with modern tech. I've got most of them spells down now so next few updates are going to be based on more perk related stuff.

I was thinking about introducing CYOAs to some friends of mine, but then I realized I don't quite know how to describe what they are exactly. How would you describe what a CYOA is to a new person?
I am checking if anyone has ever made a build that would let you defeat goddess Luna?
I tried to rationalize a little bit and I came up with some possible weaknesses that she might have, for example, she doesn't have any luck power or perk so by being a gnome choosing the luck option and getting blood awakening is a good way to exploit it, also I noticed she doesn't have knowledge of martial arts making she a ranged fighter but this information was seemed as non important because you would need to have the nothingness magic+ personification and probably blasphemy to your physical attacks have effect on her, also to scale to her level of power it was seemed interesting to have some type of god blood because this way you can scale your power virtually infinitely something that goddess luna seems to lack because her domain is a fixed one and I also noticed that she has weakness against eromagic because some of the perks she has also have the NSFW drawbacks which makes she weaker to this. However she isn't only op by herself, she also has ally's which are final bosses by themselves so having elite companions is a must and probably a army too but there is the little problem of how you are going to acquire this level of power strength companions or how are we able to train them.
Is she just impossible to defeat?

(On second thought nothingness+personification and blasphemy is a must to have or else probably none of the attacks will have effect on her)
I was rereading the Mandrake CYOA and noticed that the author’s note mentioned it takes place “within the larger /OCYOA/ verse,” and was wondering if anybody knew what this meant?
Are there more CYOAs in this setting? Any links?
Wanted to make it longer but it's late
