5 Apps Falsely Advertised
I don't enjoy false advertisements. I have an associates in business management, and there's a lot about false advertisement that was drilled into my head. It's unethical, it's shady, and there are serious consequences to businesses that falsely advertise to increase profits. Going to prison is included in fraudulent activities. I don't know how well this applies to mobile game app advertisements. But I do know I've found more mobile app games that have been falsely advertised as play-to-win, and I'm going to do a couple of short reviews on a few of them below.

The Honor of "DM/GM" in Dungeons and Dragons
I am a HUGE Dungeons & Dragons fan. I have always LoVeD fantasy stories and games. Dragons, faeries, elves, adventure, saving the realms and kingdom! I love roleplaying, I am the girl who will go to the Ren Fair dressed in a FULL faerie get-up. Handmade and everything. If I had ever found a LARP community nearby, you can bet that I am so there. In essence. I'm a giant freaking nerd and I'm super proud of it. I never actually got to play the real D&D until earlier this year though, due to never having found a group.

Be sure to Read First: Prologue // Chapter 1: The Queen is Dead...Again // Chapter 2: The Ball Iris looked up into the night sky, her golden eyes narrowing. Beyond the fog of evil that lingered in dense clouds above the castle, the moon glowed brightly, creating a hazy red glow around it. It was at its peak, and already the creatures in the golden cages were reacting to its call.

Mobile Apps Falsely Advertised as Play-To-Win
There are so, so, SO many mobile game apps out there that are advertised as "play-to-win" or "free-to-play-to-win." What does that mean exactly? It means they are played off in ads that you can play these games for free, and win real money.

Receipt Hog - An App That Gives Back
I enjoy earning cash back on my purchases. I enjoy it enough that I upload almost every receipt into an app on my phone that rewards me for spending my fiancée’s hard earned money. Or rewards me when he spoils me and the kids. It's pretty awesome.

Chapter 2: The Ball
Be sure to Read First: Prologue//Chapter 1: The Queen is Dead...Again Everything was ready for the ball. To be honest, Jonathan always looked forward to these parties. On top of all the dancing and young girls fit-to-be-wed, there were narcotics and booze, and it was the one chance that many of them got to have a decent meal. Jonathan enjoyed watching starving people eat. They would make themselves suffer all at the one chance they had to be a glutton. But then again some of these sad sacks of sagging skin and bones really needed the calorie boost.

The Underlying Fictional Truth of the Conception Snow White. Content Warning.
Far back in time, somewhere in the younger generations of civilization where kings and queens ruled and princes and princesses fell in love, there was a small but wealthy kingdom. It was as lush and beautiful as a child's dream. Far from danger, on a peninsula with a narrow entrance, the kingdom was relatively safe with a good defense strategy of using the peninsula from being easily invaded by land. And it wasn't much easier by sea for the peninsula that held the kingdom atop a very tall steep cliff that had sea-slippery and smooth walls. Not even wyverns dared try to scale the cliff-sides of this young kingdom.
