Forever Summer [MOONLLY]

I feel like this one tells a lot about his mentality.
 
What do you use to make this?
I used qwen-image-edit to make the first image. I've found a low quality porn gif that more or less have the expected movement, and used wan2.2+vace with a depthmap of the low quality gif to guide the motion.
Chitoge appeared out of nowhere, like a surprise.

qwen-image-edit and wan2.2 are generative AI models, one specialized for images, the other for videos. And vace is more or less like a "plugin" you can stick to wan, to have more control over the resulting video.
 
The year is 3250. Creator Moonlius the Thirty Eight from the House of Moonly , A Major Solar Conglomerate. They had slowly cornered the shares of the system on the backs of the numerous simps longing for the return of the author who left them eons past. Their Generational Wealth build upon the simps who forgot about them. whom Moonly Senior also forgot about. Even now Moonlius , looking at Neptune's Moon , Triton ,remarks " Just like those 2 groups who wont stop fighting over who promised them the moon, so wont my money tap .
 
Since Moonlly doesn’t seem interested in continuing the series, I’m thinking of taking over and finishing the story myself. So I wanted to ask everyone: who would you like Rika-chan to end up with—Airi-chan or Haruto (Raku)?

It could be interesting to have actual tension and conflict in the story, instead of the crap going nowhere we got recently (lol... "recently").

If Rika (formerly Raku) could for example grow a brain and be a real character instead of being such an obvious mcguffin, it would be nice. I know it's kinda part of the genre to consider the main character as brain dead, because otherwise you'd have to find good explanations why a guy would accept getting feminized against his will. But you have to admit it's very far from being satisfying. For example, LilTKit stories check all the lazy writing boxes of the genre : main character either being an idiot from the start or becoming a dumb bimbo for either the sake of the plot or for some kink, "magical" SRS, etc.

There are other authors who have done better. For example CBlack183 in "Arrangement", the main character has his own goal and make plans to achieve it. He has agency, it's just that it backfires quite badly.

To make Forever Summer more interesting, you'd need to have a main character who is not just a passive victim who doesn't even realize he's being used as an object and deprived of his humanity. At the very least, he (the real Raku) should be in conflict with Aiko somehow. Not necessarily in direct conflict, but not what we have right now, that is : the real Raku simply endures the abuse without any real protestation.
Sure, there are some moments where he protests "No way I'm gonna get bottom surgery !" and then Aiko has a let-me-convince-you-real-quick-chat with him, and the poor boy goes "Oh well, I guess you're right. After all, I have no other solution, since I have no money yet to revert what needs to be reverted and you're willing to pay for further body modifications that will need to be reverted later (if even possible, which is not of course)". As if he did not realize Aiko could also simply pay for reverting the changes, so it's quite obvious, even if you're not in Aiko's brain (like we are, due to the omniscient narration), that Aiko is manipulating him.

The problem here is that the author introduces an obstacle for Aiko that he immediately removes. This already happened before, with the Father's main hitman, which I forgot the name. Remember ?
Rika: "Oh no what are we going to do about this guy who is totally close to the father and wants to meet with us ???"
Aiko: "No problem, let's just talk-lie-jutsu the shit out of him, anyway everyone is stupid in this story but me"

There's also a huge missed opportunity to get Raku's father (the real Raku) involved and investigate, to create tension around the question "Will Aiko's misdeeds be discovered?" Chitoge also needs to be part of this, as it was part of the plot at some point, but was quickly dropped for no reason (except maybe a brain tumor - either in Chitoge's or Moonlly's brain).

Thoughts on the Raku front...

Option 1 (the contract bomb):
Rika's mom just dug up a clause buried in all the modeling agency contracts—no marriage allowed, or the whole deal gets voided instantly. Apparently, it's to protect the "pure idol image" or whatever corporate BS she wants to push. If Rika actually ties the knot, boom—career over, no more gigs, no more money for either kid. Rika's Mom and Raku's dad are not going let that happen. (no wedding)

Option 2 (mafia family drama incoming):
Rika's mom starts the fake rumors around the modeling/yakuza grapevine that one of Rika's uncles (who is from a smaller rival clan) is gunning for her to get hitched ASAP. The goal? Use the marriage to merge clans and stage a takeover/power grab. That should scare the hell out of Raku's dad and make him rethink pushing this arranged marriage.

Either way, we gotta find a way to "poison" Raku's appeal as marriage material—make her less desirable to the suitor/family without it looking too obvious.
Some wild ideas to derail this:
  • A hot new talent scout shows up out of nowhere, offering Rika a spot as a co-star in a huge idol survival contest (think "Produce 101" style show). Instant fame, travel, fanbase explosion—mom would jump at the cash and pull strings to get her out of the marriage fast.

  • Possibly a big-shot TV producer/recruiter rolls in with a fat paycheck and wants Raku as the lead in a juicy ren'ai dorama (love drama series). Fake romance on screen, real drama off screen. Mom sees dollar signs, and suddenly "marriage" becomes a career killer she needs to avoid.

  • A slick corporate sponsor (think big national coffee chain like Doutor or a fictional upscale one) shows up out of nowhere with a massive proposal: Turn the family coffee shop into a full-blown franchise empire across Japan. They're offering serious cash—royalties, expansion funds, the works—and they want Rika as the official face of the brand. Cute posters, TV ads, in-store meet-and-greets, the whole idol-treatment package. Mom will keep Raku as the CFO or something, so she can watch the money, and Raku's dad won't be looking for him. Mom's eyes are practically sparkling with yen signs; this could make the family loaded and secure, Mom's legitimate legacy for good. But Rika drops the bomb: She refuses unless her girlfriend comes along for the ride. No solo spotlight—she wants her partner there for emotional support, moral backup, and probably to keep things from getting too lonely on the road. (Cue mom’s face when she hears that part... awkward family dinner vibes incoming.)If this goes through:
    • The girls would have to travel all over Japan opening new locations, doing promo events, photo shoots, and fan meets—basically becoming traveling brand ambassadors.
    • That means meeting tons of boys and girls everywhere: Flirty customers, jealous rivals, pushy local franchise owners, maybe even obsessive fans who think Rika's "single and available".
    • Trouble brewing everywhere—paparazzi rumors, fake dating scandals to protect the "pure" brand image, old family enemies stirring up drama during stops in certain cities, or even the girlfriend getting jealous/uncomfortable with all the attention Rika gets.
    • Mom might push hard for it anyway (money talks), but Rika holding firm could force a compromise... or blow everything up.
  • This ties in perfectly with the earlier sabotage ideas—franchise life would make marriage even more impossible (idol/image clauses again?), scare off the mafia uncle angle, but throw the couple into a whirlwind of new chaos. Road-trip romance with high stakes!Thoughts, fam?
    • Should Rika cave for the money/family pressure, or dig in her heels and risk it all?
    • What kind of trouble do you see popping up first on the road (scandal, rival idol stealing spotlight, creepy stalker fan)?
    • Any fun side characters to throw in—like a shady franchise consultant or a rival chain trying to sabotage openings?
  • What if Rika has a new model rival who wants to steal her girlfriend and boyfriend, and she's got bigger boobs? Rika could lose the top modeling spot and money. Will Rika ask the Dr. for an "upgrade"?
  • Let's brainstorm how this arc explodes!
  • I am not really interested in the story ending, but more challenges for the whole team!
