So, to start, I'm looking for female submission. Male or female protag are fine with me. However, specific. First off, I'm not looking for incel fever dreams. I want something at least somewhat well written. The game doesn't have to be pure Dom/sub, but I do want at least one fleshed out route including it, or a love/dom routed VN.
If male protag:
Examples of this done poorly: Big brother, Man of the House, Milfy City (fucking hate the teacher line), Absolute Power (still the worst game I've ever played).
If female protag:
Examples of this done poorly: Elena's life, Anna's Exciting Affection (really sad, because it has the head injury to do the same thing as my mind control idea), Katie's Corruption
Ok, now to list some games I've played that have this, so that we don't waste all our time
Man of the House
Big Brother
Dreams of Desire
Dreaming of Dana
Timestamps
Milfy City
Harem Hotel
Mythic Manor
Waifu Academy
Solvalley High School
Sisterly Lust
Long Live the Princess
Summertime Saga
Coceter Chronicles
California Bound
Chloe18
Good Girl Gone Bad
Elena's Life
Anna's Exciting Affection
Katie's Corruption
(Probably a few other generic Retard In Lechertown games)
Vis Major/Vis Major: Awakening
Absolute Power
The Gift: Reloaded
Lab Rats
Sister Sister Sister
Life Is Good
Last thing, I need variation in the art. If you know of a japanese game out there that does this, but it has the same image on the screen for 5 minutes worth of dialogue, I'm not interested. There are western 2D games I like that have variations in the art. Hell, Offcuts is done very much in the style of a Japanese VN, but it has variations in the art. Every Japanese VN I've downloaded from F95 has bored the hell out of me with the art. That said, I have the same standard for western games. I'm not looking for Milfy City quality every time, hell, I put up with Sister Sister Sister's art for a long time before I gave up on the developer's shit ability to code and keep track of branching.
If male protag:
- no rape - I don't really like forcing women into things from the male perspective. This line can get blurry with submission as a fetish, but if it's clear that the only way I can get this woman is to rape her, I'm not interested.
- light bdsm only - I don't mind pet-play, I don't mind Rope-play, I'm even fine with a little sadism with a willing masochist, but I have a hard line at the point where it starts to involve blood, forced piercings, actual harm etc. I generally didn't mind the BDSM in Harem Hotel, but it certainly tested my boundaries.
- bodily functions - Light watersports is fine, not exactly my thing, but I get it. Poop and vomit however are a fuck no.
- Corruption? - So, to me, you can't corrupt the unwilling. A person has to commit to something to be corrupted. So while a girl might start timid, she's a willing participant as you turn her into a submissive slut. That isn't to say that she can't be Tsundere, a girl who wants it, but has a hard time expressing that she does. But this is usually obvious to the observer.
- Humiliation - yes please but not necessary
- Exhibitionism - I mean, it's kinda a part of humiliation usually, but also yes please.
- Blackmail/coercion - almost always bad. If it isn't written well I'm not interested. In fact, I'll give an example, the Veronica Route from Man of the House fucking sucks. However, if someone can bring me an example of a well written character who similarly gets off on the fact that she's being blackmailed I'd consider it, but don't bring me weak shit.
- Mind Control is ok, if well written.
- Breeding/pregnancy - fine
Examples of this done poorly: Big brother, Man of the House, Milfy City (fucking hate the teacher line), Absolute Power (still the worst game I've ever played).
If female protag:
- player agency - absolutely necessary. I cannot play a retard in lechertown, no matter how much the game has male domination. If I am forced to play a character who is fighting against becoming a sub, I'm gonna quit, and fast.
- rape? - I'm actually a little more ok with Non-con from a female protagonist. Of course, I'm not looking for anything where the MC is just constantly brutally raped, but blackmail, corecion, and molestation are fine, so long as I have the above player agency.
- Bodily functions - same as above for male protag
- corruption? - Again, only the willing can be corrupted. It's a little harder to do this from the perspective of the one being corrupted, but again, as long as I have agency.
- BDSM? - I'm a little more opposed to this in a female protag game, as it limits agency enough that it gets dangerous. If it's done well, for instance, done by a character that is trustworthy in the game, then it's fine.
- Humiliation/Exhibitionism - again, yes please.
- Mind Control - Depends. If, for instance, it's used early in the game to loosen her inhibitions and allow the plot to continue (essentially the same way it's used on the little sister in Dreams of Desire, only from her perspective) then it's probably fine. If it's something that's used to interfere with player agency, then it's a no.
- Breeding/pregnancy - fine
Examples of this done poorly: Elena's life, Anna's Exciting Affection (really sad, because it has the head injury to do the same thing as my mind control idea), Katie's Corruption
