It depends on what you're expecting out of a CYOA, I think.
For example I prefer scenario-heavy OCs - needing to parse through pastebins to craft powers like in Seinaru Magcraft Girls or pic related would bore me, while finding combinaisons between existing powers would do the opposite.
At the end of the day I don't really think we can gauge how good a CYOA is overall based on our personal brand of autism, even if popularity is probably not fitting either.
