Reader’s Picks: Ferjid
DESCRIPTION
Hi there, I’m Ferjid. My tastes have evolved significantly since I started reading stories on this site years ago. So I gladly took the opportunity to highlight my favorite ones and thank the authors, hoping they continue to write stories like these.
My favorite stories fall into the “moral degeneration” category, in which a strongly principled protagonist is corrupted to the point of becoming the opposite of her original self. One of my favorite settings is the protagonist trying to uncover the truth about a mysterious company or place that manipulates people and falls victim to their game.
To effect this transformation, I prefer a slow and gradual method, even better if it involves subliminal messages, elements, or methods that the protagonist comes into with without realizing it and, over time, change her way of thinking, making them forget who they were.
Extra points if other characters, friends of the protagonists or strangers, are already victims of the mental conditioning that makes the situation seem completely normal, as if the protagonist were behaving or thinking absurdly.
For me, it’s not so much the sexual relationship described in the story that matters, but rather the protagonist’s mental transformation into a person whose sole purpose in life is to experience and give pleasure.
PERSONAL PICKS
This story has all my favorite elements inside. A career woman who complains about sexist behavior at work is taken to a spa to change her mindset using multiple subliminal methods during her stay, and she gradually becomes completely addicted to sex and desires to endure degrading actions. The author’s stroke of genius comes when he rewrites the first scene later in the story, with the protagonist behaving in a diametrically opposite way.
Ms. Pendragon’s School for Girls
There are very few explicit scenes in this story, but the detailed description of the system by which the villain controls her victims makes everything extremely believable and erotic. I love the relationship between the protagonist and her roommate: the latter has serenely accepted her new life, and the protagonist, initially stubborn, gradually becomes envious of her roommate’s relaxed state and decides to let herself go more and more.
What I love about this story is the focus on the transformation of the protagonist’s thoughts: while at first she hates the villain’s sexist methods, as time goes on, she’s persuaded to behave and think like a real bimbo until these trophy-woman attitudes become second nature to her. The hypnosis method is also subtle, gradual, and believable.
I’m not usually a fan of stories that drag on for dozens and dozens of chapters, but this was one of the first I followed from the start, and it kept me hooked until the very last chapter. If you have the patience to follow it, you’ll find an erotic survival story filled with tension, twists, faction changes, and a villain with a powerful and an extremely erotic attitude (who would have me falling for it in a second, unlike the characters in the story).
The context of this story is one of my favorites: a protagonist, outraged by her colleague’s arrogant behavior and how no one realizes how hateful he is, confronts him head-on. Thanks to a subtle key phrase, he manages to align her thoughts with his, making behaviors that she initially found reprehensible seem logical to her.
In this story, the transformation of various characters into bimbos is quite rapid, but the plot is always based on the changing mindset of the women who come into with the subliminal element of the story, in this case the various perfumes produced by a company. I love the dynamics between the characters under the influence of the perfume and those horrified by their degrading behavior, with the former trying to convert the latter.
In this story too, thanks to the subliminal messages in a video, a key phrase insinuates itself into the protagonist’s mind and begins to consume her from the inside, making her increasingly happy to fulfill her partner’s desires.
In this story, the protagonists’ mental transformation is an explicit and direct torture, like an erotic version of Ludovico’s Technique, but it’s still based on working on the characters’ mental state while they’re physically stimulated to mentally corrupt them and make them willingly accept their new condition. I loved the transformation of one of the protagonists from lesbian to straight.
