History YMMV / BigSkyCountry

* CreatorsPet: It comes across as obvious that the writers prefer Sawyer over Juliette, Asha, and, to a lesser extent, Dallas, given that there are far more free and premium scenes with him over the other three.

** Juliette as well. Most scenes allowing players to know her are hidden behind premium options. Moreover, most free scenes involving her relegate her to support status, even after she had ADayInTheLimelight moment in Chapter 14.
** Dallas is considered as such by players who don't see him as a forced love interest. While he has a lot of screen time, there aren't enough opportunities for players to know enough about him to feel compelled to pick his premium options, where most of him is known.

* CreatorsPet: It comes across as obvious that the writers prefer Sawyer and, to a lesser extent, Dallas over Juliette and Asha, given that there are far more free and premium scenes with the former two. There's even a premium option in Chapter 12 for Morgan and Dallas to pretend that they're married.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Dallas's entire backstory [[spoiler:where he was framed for a robbery by his ex jealous new boyfriend and has to become a fugitive because being a poor black kid]] is hidden behind a Premium scene and is never incorporated in any meaningful way into the narrative beside for his aloof behavior. Many fans even think that this backstory is even more compelling than the main plot.

* BrokenBase:
** The story is either viewed as ''Home For The Holidays'' done right, or a boring slice-of-life story.
** The announcement that there will be a second book has divided players between those who are excited for more of the story and those who think one book is enough.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: After complaints that Asha barely appeared in Book 1, Book 2 introduced a key plot point in which she campaigns to become mayor of Sweetridge against Jasper Tate.

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Many readers consider Brooklynne to be the best supporting character for being a positive representation of a more sympathetic teenager who makes vlogs and is vegan, with both attributes being consistently mocked or portrayed negatively in other media. Her popularity skyrocketed when she became important to save the ranch.

** Cliff is well liked due to his hospitality and humorous dialogue.

* AuthorSavingThrow: After complaints that Asha barely appeared in Book 1, Book 2 introduced a key plot point in which she campaigns to become mayor of Sweetridge against Jasper Tate.

* HoYay: Many players have joked about turning this book into Film/BrokebackMountain, aside from all the romantic scenes between Male!Morgan with either Sawyer and Dallas.

** Several players bemoan that Asha Roanhorse barely shows up in the story despite having been introduced as a love interest early on. They even pointed out that not only is she a NiceGirl and SelfMadeWoman, qualities that make her admirable, but she also tries to know Morgan on a personal level rather than being flirty all the time.

** Dick gives plenty of {{FoeYay}} moments about defeating Sawyer at the rodeo. Fans didn't waste time to reread all his dialogue as DoubleEntendre, not helped by [[PunnyName his unintentionally funny name]], and him still hitting on Morgan even as a guy.
** Morgan can compliment and flirt lightly with Garret Redmond to get information from him, and he responds positively even if Morgan is a guy.

** Dallas is considered as such by players who don't see him as a forced love interest. While he has a lot of screen time, there aren't enough opportunities for players to know enough about him to feel compelled to pick his premium options, where most of him is known.

* StrangledByTheRedString: The primary complaint about this story is that the writers are forcing players to pursue Sawyer even when they are pursuing other love interests instead, given that players get to know him for free while having to pay diamonds to know the other three.

* CreatorsPet: It comes across as obvious that the writers prefer Sawyer and, to a lesser extent, Dallas over Juliette and Asha, given that there are far more free and premium scenes with the former two.

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: When the book was first announced, people had mixed feelings and believed that it would be a strictly romance book. It didn't help that the cover depicts Sawyer with his shirt unbuttoned and a flirtatious grin on his face. However, it has gained a decent fanbase, with people who like the story stating that it has a cast of likable characters and it's nice to have a fun story that isn't action packed. People became more invested when the story introduced Garret Redmond, a shady businessman who is implied to be a criminal.
