Huh. This update actually introduced an element we haven't see from these white-panel stories in quite a while: breaking the mind control so the victim can actually fight back and/or come to terms with what happened to him instead of just meekly going along with whatever the villain says.

I like it! It’s a nice POV shot too!

I've always felt like that could be a decent premise for a "horror themed" feminization story. Seeing the brief bits of lucidity where the protagonist is trying to figure out what's happening to them and being powerless to stop it.

Also, while I love the stories where the feminization is "boiling the frog", something you do lose is the more visceral reaction and exploration of the changes. So I certainly appreciate the variety and would look forward to seeing that in future stories.

EDIT:

We don't get enough of those! I don't know if they're particularly hard, but I'd love to see more POV panels in these CG comics.

I've also added the latest part to the OP in a Mediafire link as I'm not sure the admins appreciate the pictures being uploaded to posts in a thread.

Does anyone believe we have a true chance of this story turning into a horror for the main character, i.e. she never really embraces being a woman and gets truly depressed with what's done to her? Or will she eventually be okay and embrace the changes?

Edit:
So I guess rebirth095 and I are on the same page here. I usually prefer stories in this genre to have a happier ending, for a change of spice it can make for an interesting premise to see it turn horror-adjacent.

I doubt Sweet Change will delve into how dark it would actually be to be feminized and not want it as an ending. Frankly, it doesn't seem like Melissa's style. Closest I can think of is Flying High. Which ends more like "GASP! I'm stuck like this?!" rather than dwell on how bad they're taking it.

Otherwise, the stories usually either have the character corrupted enough that they enjoy it, basically were trans, or basically identity death'd so that the character appears "happy" but the original personality wouldn't be happy to see what's happened.

For me, I can be on board with a variety of things, but they're usually ticking different boxes.

For a story where I'm fantasizing and self-inserting, sometimes I like the ending where the character never wants the changes and they're stuck (as a super hot woman). EDIT:

comes to mind where the character never escapes. Stories like that are ones I can pretend I'm that character and it tickles that submissive part of my brain.

"Bad" endings are fine though even if they aren't things as part of my fantasy. A well written story can be through provoking, or evoke emotions that broaden our palette.

always pops back in my mind of a dark story of identity theft.

On the other hand, I'm not into suffering. There's having a bit of a humiliation kink. Or being into status change (like bimbofication, becoming the maid, etc). But actual degradation and unrelenting suffering just isn't my thing.

My main thing is that I want the story to know what kind of ending it is. To use a bit of a weird analogy: I stumbled upon this h-manga, and this main character is drugging women with aphrodisiac. And this author actually has this character think "I'm not the kind of man who rapes women. I just drug them and I'll only touch them once they say yes."

That kind of thing is insufferable to me. You want to write rape fiction? Then have the balls to just write rape fiction. Don't write it, and then pretend its something else so you can claim you're not a creep or something.

So on the feminization side, sometimes I can't tell if the author knows whether or not they're in the "right genre" and how to present their ending. 90% of the time, I genuinely despise the stories that basically are "oh, I was trans the whole time. I was only able to realize it because I was strapped down and ass fucked until I liked it". You don't get to have it be completely non-consensual and then wrap it up with a neat inner thought bubble at the end just so you can avoid the dark implications. By all means: have the character corrupted. Have them start to enjoy it and fall down a rabbit hole of addiction to femininity. But let's not romanticize it and retcon the character arc.

Maybe Mirror's dream sequences have resulted in some creative juices flowing in directions Melissa dive into before. We've talked about how Sweet Change isn't really a story that captures many of us, going in this more horror/nightmare direction may lead to at least an interesting hook for the main character. Or at least make the story more memorable.

I've already lived the displeasure of gender dysphoria so I'm good on that in my fiction. To me, these stories are a nice form of escapism, I don't need reminders of real world issues in my entertainment, as especially many Holywood folk seem insisting on.

KK & Fraylim did a story for Joe Six-Pack called The Boy's Guide to Girlhood and without trying to spoil it, I imagine that's a bit like how you're describing Sweet Marissa. It was unsatisfying for me. That's not to say bad or awful things shouldn't happen in the stories I read. I'm a believer in the idea that a reader should be sent home happy. I also absolutely hate Requiem for a Dream. I don't have the vocabulary to describe how much I despise that abhorrent film.

I usually prefer social feminisation over sexually feminisation processes, as they tend to be methods (in my mind at least) that stick better for the main characters journey into womanhood. For example, in Mirror I feel Elenas female friends and their expectations of her should be a better way of conditioning her to be female in her daily life than the once a week sex session Nikos has with her.

I don't think there's enough time to "eventually" do anything. On February 4th, Melissa said "Just two or three more parts to go...", so after this last update, we only have one or two. So since the dark turn was introduced on the very last page of the possibly second-to-last update, I'm guessing that it will either end with the MC in despair, or the villain will flip the hypnosis back on and the readers will be left with the dark implications even if the MC appears outwardly happy.

Along these lines, did you read Emory Ahlberg's "Anywhere But Boring"? Without giving too much away in case you haven't read it yet, I'd be curious to hear what you thought of that. Personally, I really enjoyed it.

The last page of this update is the first time I've been interested in this story. And it's not because I have to have a really dark story. I enjoy both dark stories and sweet stories. I just don't want the same story every time. I like variety. And this last page is the first real thing that differentiates this one from others like Temporary Roommate and High-Heeled Journey.

Sort of, but I think the tone is different. It's been a while since I read Boy's Guide, but despite the protagonist being "stuck as a woman", there's a passiveness to the main character that is, in my opinion, what makes that story weak. Or at least for me, it makes the fantasy unfulfilling because it doesn't really capture any of my submissive kinks. Let's be honest, MOST of SixPackSite stories are like that. Very bland characters and lots of passive allowance of being feminized.

Sweet Marisa is forced feminization. The level of cruelty may very well turn people off. But it knows what it is and it entertains some of those scenarios that the submissive part of my brain fantasizes about. That's why, even if it's not a story that's my usual cup of tea, I respect it because it commits to what it is. I recognizes just how fucked up the scenario should be for someone to have forcibly feminized someone else and doesn't romanticize it or downplay that.

I'm a believer in the idea that a reader should be sent home happy.

For me, I believe the reader should finish the story "satisfied". Now that doesn't mean that the ending is happy or sad. But there should be closure of some kind. If I'm in the mood for a story where a husband gets cucked, then the satisfying story progression is that the husband gets cucked. But the story should know what genre it is and know what audience it's writing for. It's why I rant about stories where the ending tries to justify it as "Look! They actually do like all the fucked up shit happening to them!". I think you need to EARN that kind of justification. Otherwise, you've slapped the ending from a different genre onto the one you've currently written.

I usually prefer social feminisation over sexually feminisation processes, as they tend to be methods (in my mind at least) that stick better for the main characters journey into womanhood. For example, in Mirror I feel Elenas female friends and their expectations of her should be a better way of conditioning her to be female in her daily life than the once a week sex session Nikos has with her.

Generally, I don't think one is inherently better or worse for delivering a good feminization story, I think this all boils down to whether the arc the character goes through passes scrutiny. That said, I think that too many stories equate "sex with man" and "being a woman". Especially when they don't go through the emotional aspects. I feel like feminization and how that relates to sexuality can be just as powerful and internalized as much as social pressures. Speaking personally, my own journey experimenting with vibrators, dildos, and exploring my body in "non-masculine" ways was powerful. But it's true most stories don't pay off that level of detail. Most of them just go straight to "Oh wow, sucking cock for the first time has made me a cock addict! Me so girly now!".

Along these lines, did you read Emory Ahlberg's "Anywhere But Boring"? Without giving too much away in case you haven't read it yet, I'd be curious to hear what you thought of that. Personally, I really enjoyed it.

I have no issue with people winding down roads and finding themselves in the end. I've known friends that were convinced they were straight, then bi, then gay, then ended up in a heterosexual marraige after meeting someone they fell for. Does that invalidate their journey? Absolutely not. My own journey with my gender and sexuality, how I present myself is also winding and nonlinear and at times contradictory. But those are real stories, or stories meant to be real.

I think Anywhere But Boring is well written enough. While I find some of it a bit contrived (and there's certainly scenes I'd workshop a lot more), I understand what story it's trying to tell. But I don't think it's a feminization story. It's a trans story (and I think it knows its a trans story). There's nothing wrong with that. But for me personally, I'm really not interested in trans stories (in the same vein that I don't enjoy most coming of age stories based in real life in general). For me, I find it uncomfortable getting into the actual personal lives of someone else (even if they're fictional). It feels intrusive and disrespectful to treat as erotica.

That's why I generally dislike "sweet/sentimental" stories. The vast majority of them either feel too intrusive, or come off as glurge. It's like encountering toxic positivity. Having a story go "yay, all I had to do was transition, and now my life is perfect. I'm hot, everyone that matters accepts me, and I'm married to the perfect significant other" just rubs me the wrong way. Either because that's not reflective of real life, or because it's such clearly wish fulfilment from writers that are projecting too much. It, again, makes it feel incredibly intrusive.

By all means, have a happy ending. But let's earn that happy ending. Let's have a premise that makes sense for the story we're trying to tell. And let's be clear with our genre. I think the main "ding" I'd give Anywhere but Boring is that while in hindsight, I realize it wasn't meant to be a feminization story, it does start off like one. So it is a bit of a "bait and switch". But to its credit, with hindsight you do understand that the story knows what it is. And so I'll give it props.
