I have exactly one thing to say about Adoring My Robot Overlord.

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.

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.

Resolutions (Trixie Adara) (mc ff ex hm) (new)  by Trixie Adara
Four friends drunkenly make New Year’s Resolutions which will turn out to drastically control their lives in the coming weeks and months.

This probably was the intent of the author to portray as such, but I always found New Year's Resolutions to be a joke. People will put all this thought into doing something positive, only to just not do it. I personally made a Resolution years ago to not do Resolutions! So, having women actually follow erotically charged Resolutions can only be a farce. Even the first part, which largely introduced this whole thing, delivered, in albeit more intriguing than hot ways. The Resolutions themselves were not erotically charged, but it seems instead that the interpretation of them became erotic. I'll look forward to more.

Another thumbs up for The Role of a Lifetime.

The Role of a Lifetime (mc mf md gr) (new)  by TheHandsThatLead
Denise has been a struggling actress in Hollywood for years, only getting bit parts, but a new opportunity has come along, will it be the role of a lifetime for her?

Have you ever read a story and felt like the author was writing it just for you?
From the main character having the same name as me, to having an almost exactly same high school experience, and same fantasies... it is just uncanny! And so I was hanging on every single word...!!!

Thanks Dede, I promise I didn't read your mind from afar while writing it... or did I?
