I don't know why this story turned into one almost exclusively about cheating. It veered themes somewhere in act 1.

Because I think it's hot? Really, that's the reason anything appears on the site.

Just like all of the egregiously under-endowed women.

At least with this kind of cheating, everyone is having fun ;)

I do sometimes think I might need some kind of chart to remember current relationships and layers of control.  Since Francesca's new worldview includes not thinking her husband isn't going far enough, I wonder if she'll continue adjusting his subjects on the down-low while he's out of the room, or if she might start hypnotizing him as well.

Well, clearly somebody does, but this story specifically changed from one with a harem to one about cheating, which is definitely a tonal/kink shift, and it isn't the (what I would consider) fun hotwifing/swinging that we see on something like Expanded Universe either.

Eh, could always be "worse". All the men are still getting action, specifically from their partners. Not like Daphne's putting out real hardcore NTR, so I still consider this the fun kind of cucking.

I mean, I'd probably define this as "cheating" more than "cucking." But the specific permutation of "man is tricked/mind controlled into his woman having sex with a man who she's more obedient to and is more sexually satisfied by" comes up often enough that it bothers me.

Ah, well, yes, in that case it is unfortunate the subtext being made text is not more to your liking, or at least indifference.  :-[

Well, it's not so much that, as, like I said, it changed from being a harem sort of story to this at one point.

I hear you. There are other stories that go in directions I don't prefer. But it's a matter of taste, and not every story is going to play out the way I like.

Within the (rather large) ranges of things that I find appealing, I do try to have something for everyone!

Which is good! The flip side is that not every story will appeal to every person, or, as Haight mentioned, some stories may "veer." Cost of doing business I figure.

I'll also note that 'pure' harem stories eventually become repetitive and stale.  Find new target.  Control.  Sex.  Integrate with the others.  Repeat.  This limited scope is what brought Audiophilia to its well timed end.I

The switch from harem to cheating seems like an attempt to give the harem members something interesting to do other than hang around waiting for their master to fuck them.

I'd agree with you that a formula can get stale, but I *liked* the fact that Audiophilia ended at a certain point. If you try to keep a story going indefinitely, it's going to have an unsatisfying ending.
