Fading into the background does not equate to becoming slop. If more people here tried to be creative with their builds instead of powergaming, they would find a lot of enjoyment in older CYOAs. Most over 2 or 3 pages have good replay value, and there are so many that it's easy to play one and forget about it for months or years, then come back with a new idea. I regularly revisit CYOAs that I must have built for over a dozen times. This is also why it's silly not to Sartre at all - with some imagination you can stretch a lot of choices for more interesting results
