Hello guys,
Long time lurker here.
I created this account because of this opportunity to add feedback.
I am serial buyer of hotwife erotica, always looking for the stories that match my taste, which has been dificult to satisfy.
I bought the 5 available volumes of the The Contact on Kobo after reading the "previews" here, so thanks for them.
sire_richenbach asked about the genres we like. My favourite BY FAR is the one on this quote: "Like is the premise that both the husband and wife do not want the wife to have sex with the other man, but some outside plot mechanic makes it so they have to? Then the husband saves her?". I think it's the one where the love of the couple is best preserved and the one that can be connected to real life. I don't know much stories on the genre. I rate Beat and the Beauties from kingbooruwa as a fine example
https://www.literotica.com/series/se/410840. It was also the story that lead to me buy King B's - the author's Amazon name - entire book library, even if some of the others are more hardcore.
There's another one more recently, not on this site, from Stella Wynne on Amazon, called "The Kinky Housewife: Falling for the older neighbor" that's very hot and long, though it doesn't have the husband saving part. But it feels rather natural.
Another example more known here is Newlywed New Desires from Maddox Storrey, though the turnaround happens very late and it's point I am going to address on my review of The Contact a bit later down here.
I was at the end and remember yet another one: Alex Jamieson's "My Hotwife the Spy" two volume story series. Very good.
I too dispute this quote: "Or is everyone just happy with all the boundaries and theres no conflict at all? The wife wants both her husband and the other man, the other man likes the wife but respects the couples boundaries, the husband is happy with the situation and in control. Seems like this gets boring pretty quick?" but with a receipt sort to speak. The recent, on Amazon, "Our First Wife-Sharing Experience at a Naturist Campground" from Wild Camper Secrets has the wife becoming a size queen but the husband from the start wants a new woman and the wife agrees. It's a long story but single volume. I understand sire_richenbach's reluntanct to write stories like this as they are indeed hard to into monetizable serials - they work best as standalone books.
But everyone has their tastes. With stories like, what The Contact is turning to be and most of Peter G Johnson stories, I buy the volumes until the wife loses respect for the husband - because without respect, saying "i love you" are just words - and with Peter that's usually volume 1, which is a shame as he has the best premises in the business - IMHO.
Now The Contact, I should have dropped it when the wife disrespected the husband at volume 2-3 with the SA charge but moving on. I decided to keep playing the findom cuck for a while longer.
The story is a risky bet as there are volumes with little to no sex so the plot has to stand. I respect the sire_richenbach for going that route but be careful. There's a whole different between what the characters say and what they do.
Volume 7 ended somewhat promising but the premise of volume 8 was ominious, the content even worse. As it is, the decision to buy volume 8 hinges on the plot of volume 9 for me and I don't think that's good. And that's because volume 9, unless some moneymaking plot device is used - will show is the husband is just a warrior in his mind or if he can actually decide and do anything other than being a passive cuck.
As a reader, I don't like the angst of having to wait for more to see if the character I identify the most has a good plot or not. In this stories, it makes feel like a cuck and I despise cucks, which ends with a no purchase.
I mentioned Newlywed Newdesires before and I will add Kirsten Mccurran's "The new wife on Milford Court". I only bought the series after the release of volume 4 - the last - and reading it to avoid a repeat of the disapoint of the similar "Tempting Kate" from Michael Andersen. With The Contact running up to 15 volumes, there's a risk of buyers with a dispositon similar to mine to wait for the release of the final volume to decide if the series is worth spending the money or not.
I will end this with a proper review of The Contact Volume 8 okay?
I use a lot of IA on my work and its presence was felt. I don't mind it being used. If it's IA only is very good and I am curious about the models used. The sentence structure of the wife describing the husband seemed rather OpenAI or some version of Claude - I mostly use Claude. But the dashes, oh the long "-" were cringe. Even if you use IA to clean up the text like I do in my work documents, be more careful with the final touches.
I liked the final sequence with the husband becoming aware of the wife not acting as his partner. I don't like his lack of action but it's part of the plot. I don't know where the story goes but be careful with writing yourself into a corner. At the current point, I see the wife finding the original premise for the corruption and siding with the lover because he showed himself to be the superior man. That could be an ending but if not, where to take the story from there? Total corruption, TA-style? That's an option too and your choice.
Also be careful of becoming "type-casted" though. I don't touch Manus Dare stories for ex. On the other hand, be careful about branching out and losing your audience - Alex Lee was an instant buy for me but after he joined the group of Kirst MCcurran and the others he became more hardcore and more "word-count averse".
I am also looking at the other story too. So far it has little to offer so I am on the fence. Waiting for more.
And after this wall of text, I am off. Sorry for the long post. I just wanted to add constructive criticism.
