I vaguely recall why no LitRPG author lately does "let MC choose which power/ evolution" thing.
While it does tickle the readers with "what could have been", it also makes the author look like a bellend when the selection is obvious like for example
Pick: increase swordsmanship, mage hand, LITERAL GODHOOD.
Then it turns the author into a bigger bellend when he chose anything but the most obvious answer.
