That way we’re not “choosing our own path” as the game proclaims, we’re only waiting to see what the author will write based on the most voted option and in her own scenario planned by forehand.

Actually I think that Lyrical Days has the most clearest choices of all 'games'. (Not that it would be a bad thing)
A) Fate
B) Nanoha
C) Hayate
D) None of the above
Only vague choices were the Fate's confession scene, which is still somewhat unclear, or what route to take home choices.
Sure the famed NxF route isn't as linear but that's just a dessert. Yuuno is the 'player', so choosing for other characters would be just dumb.

Thing is that this game is played by many people simotaneously and only one choice can be taken at the time, otherwise it would start pyramid effect that every choice would spread into two or more scenarios, which would end up in a fairly good game script but you would get updated to 'your' route once a week or so. And besides, you don't really know what happens in 'real' games either as they, too, have been created in someone's head and can be just as or more vague and unpredictable as Lyrical Days. Only difference is that they have save option for screw ups.
