Short and exceedingly concise. Tells you what it's all about pretty much right away, but still has a small surprise or two along the way. Squicky for some, I'm sure, but lively and fun to me.

Eeeeeehhh... I suppose. I guess I can't really say for sure, since I've probably read at least a hundred thousand words of MCU (or however many it was up to Truce Week, when I burned out on the genre altogether), but there's a lot of context to this one that, if you don't have it, will probably make this story sound like nonsense. Who is Geraldine? Who's Daphne? What's their relationship, that one would perform cartoon villainy just to give the other a nice gift? I know, but how could someone who isn't into MCU expected to know (or care) about any of that?
That said, it was nice to get a taste of the old MCU again. Fantastic folks in that community, back in the day. Memers and shitposters nonpareil. I think this board could learn a thing or two from them.

The characters of Geraldine Linventeur and Daphne Miller may be familiar to some of you from my Mind Control University story, though no prior knowledge is required here.

« Last post by MCaesar on January 07, 2020, 02:02:25 am »The final Thoughts of yesterweek (plus a week before that), are for Organism-X.
I was originally going to skip it, because it was a long one, but I had finished the other ones I wanted to check out a little early. I saw a few 9000 word chapters, and thought "eh, it won't be so bad. I got to the last chapter, thinking I was almost done, and came upon the sudden realization that 3,485 and 34,485 are not the same number. So I will probably be finishing it at the end of the week, if I knock out everything else. I'll echo Potestas, saying that it could have been split up better, both from a chapter division standpoint, and also meted out over multiple weeks. You know, for those of us who like to sample a little bit of everything each update.
But, halfway (and 34,000 words) through, I would say it's a neat little parasite infestation piece, with some good horror vibes coming through. A lot of the female coed characters blur together, though, and I'm having some trouble telling who's actually important and who's just worm-fodder. The synopsis suggests that Haley, the psychic girl, should be the protagonist, but she gets little screen time and even less agency. Jessie actually seems to be doing far more protagonisty things throughout, and I feel myself rooting for her more than anyone.

I feel like I've read a hundred stories about women staring at screens, getting horny and brainwashed. Never gets old.The antics of the two nerds in charge of the brainwashing made it stand out a little in a fun way.
It's often interesting to me to focus on the controllers, even while the story focuses on the affected. There are a few more Test Cases to come, at least until I feel I'm no longer saying more.
I did have an inkling that there might be more. It was open-ended, even though there weren't any specific loose ends.

It's very, delightfully British.
Okay, maybe more than one thing. For a dystopian world, it actually felt kind of... light. Like a silly dystopia. And I do love robots. Didn't push too many of my buttons, personally, but it was fun and competently done.

« Last post by MCaesar on January 02, 2020, 04:26:20 pm »Thoughts on I’m Coming 4 U by Jukebox, as well as the 4U series overall:
First, the stories give off a really cool spy vibe, like the Bourne movies but with less shaky cam and the protagonist is a sex slave. Second, I think the setting is fascinating, and we get a big exposition dump in this installment to break open all the little cracks and glimpses we've gotten into the history of the MK Perfect conspiracy. And for once, the "cabal of sinister mind controllers" trope plays out to it's logical conclusion, where one person decides they just want to be the only one at the top. I feel like there are too many shadowy cabals made up of megalomaniacal mind controller that all seem to share and get along fine, and that always breaks my immersion unless it's addressed.
And last, but the opposite of least, the way that 4U works through her programming in all sorts of situations. Rarely is a brainwashed character so aware of their own brainwashing, and so deftly able to dance around the cognitive dissonances that arise from conflicting programming. It's fun to watch. The pleasure component of the brainwashing sometimes feels kind of pushed to the background, and some of the sex scenes feel a little tacked on as an afterthought. That just might be me, though. I feel like all the hottest stuff is going on in 4U's head.

Let's just say, you had me at futa nuns. This story does not seem super complicated so far. It's not going to ask deep questions about human nature. But what it is, is my kind of weird. The characters and setting are definitely colorful and lively too.
