Forced by AmneLeGrand3

 

A short scenario by Harem's author that includes the usual shenanigans in Stream of Consciousness Power Trip scenarios like complete lack of human logic, empathy, and usage of power regardless of any morality or ethics, but does not bring anything new to the table and ends up too soon without leaving too much to enjoy to any kind of possible demographic it might have.

Guys that mentally slaves his crush, a guy that possesses his mother and sees her naked body, it offers several ideas, but well, it ends them up all soon too, just like any other.

A few things to mention about this scenario is how it tries to create its own magic lore, setting up the action on Spain, and present magic "rocks" with different kinds of power, but all backgrounds are taken from real-life pictures and applied a posterized effect that doesn't look actually good (cartooning real-life pictures is usually a complicated process, after all), people told me that there was also a version with real-life photos of people, but I didn't see it anywhere and it probably isn't available either.

People who want a bit more of the whole madness of this kind of scenarios might check it out since it also has a few unintentionally memorable and pretty crazy lines, but people who want the scenario for its sexual appeal might end up dissatisfied since everything ends up so quickly, just like so many other recent scenarios. People who new to this kind of scenario with the ironic appeal should rather check Harem or other scenarios that have a lot more content instead.

Electric Disaster by Thalcynnas

 

Just a quick, short stream of consciousness scenario that Harem fans might enjoy thanks to its ironic appeal. It has cryptic writing, illogical decisions from the characters, and an accidental dream-like atmosphere.

Basically, John gets access to an app (or something, I didn't understand well to be honest) that lets him possess people, he possesses Katrina first and then Allison, he then he tells her the truth and she tells him that for compensating they have to start dating each other, from now on Allison will let John possess her at times if she is in the mood and with an app option John can give partial control to Allison while she is possessing her.

Katrina and Jess were living with John for some reason I don't remember and once Allison moved with John Katrina was starting to get jealous, but nothing is developed from there, the scenario ends up in a placeholder, maybe for the best.

My New Family by R0nnyA

Basically, just another Power Trip scenario in the vein of Harem, just with a lot less content. John is unhappy with his current family, Sandra didn't wake him up for school in time and Holly is distant, so when he gets the remote he changes his family to his own desire.

Depending on the choices he will make Holly his little servant sister and his mom, Sandra, either his girlfriend, sister, or close friend. People who appreciate morality on the side of the protagonist should probably skip this one, otherwise, you can check it out if you are into Mind Control and Incest, it will be either hot or plain creepy. Even then, is also pretty short, with only around 10 minutes of content.

This is the issue with most scenarios, all of them are not just incomplete, but also abandoned at their own very beginning, they create a setup and they just end, and I have tried to be as positive as possible about these stories in the past, I say, well, it is not a good story, but they offer good ideas, I try my best to think about someone who might fit the demographic the scenario is aiming for, but the truth is that checking stuff like this at the very end will be frustrating for a lot of readers, any kind of readers, even if you are the person who likes this kind of stories, you are just going to get teased and then left completely with your pants down! 

If you are going to write a scenario in the future, I would say work in giving either a complete story or at least... one hour of content? At least in that way, you will make sure that there will something for the people who decide to check your story. What are you saying? Publish something as short as this as a proof of concept? No, don't, we have enough of those already, and people end up abandoning those "proof of concepts" most of the time anyway! I am sure we can discuss the concept you want and the story with you in the forum or the Discord.

Now, there is just another little thing I can mention about this scenario, let's talk about the how-the-protagonist-gets-the-TF-device-trope!

So far in the community, we have seen:

A car dropped it by accident and I picked it up (Press Switch, Bodysuit 23)

Aliens gave it to me (Student Transfer Remote)

I found it in an old abandoned old place (Student Transfer Magic Book from Kat's house, PDA device from a library or so, I think)

There is also other stuff like magical events in Freaky Friday and stores that when you try to come back do not exist anymore. In this case, we have a variant, John gets the remote thanks to an old guy who offered him "a universal remote that does whatever he needed" but I feel that's the worst variation of the trope, why somebody would give a remote like that to a stranger? Just because they are the protagonist? Anyhow, for fetish and sexual-focused stories, it does the trick, but for more serious stories, I think is something you might want to take into account if you are going to write them.

A New Life by BuggsB

 

Fan cover made by me

Probably the most recommendable Power Trip scenario. Now, what is Power Trip? When playing and reviewing scenarios, you usually find certain patterns or certain criteria that repeats in some releases, so naturally, for me, the idea of giving that pattern a tag becomes a necessity so these scenarios that share certain characteristic can be grouped together and recommended together. (Classification is just such a beautiful thing <3).

The term "Power Trip"  was coined by Student Transfer Developer Narg when we were discussing a way to classify this kind of scenario in TF fiction, and is a term a lot of people agreed with. What does Power Trip mean? A scenario in which the protagonist abuses power with impunity without negative repercussions, often so the reader can vicariously experience being powerful. In Power Trip scenarios, the ethics beyond the limit of the protagonist's powers are often ignored, letting the player experience the story without mental repercussions or remorse.

In this way, we can group scenarios like Harem, The Tale of the Loser, Body Switchers, and even new ones like John Sudden Lifechange. Now, the idea behind the Power Trip tag is having the protagonist being the one who has the power to change things, if another character has the power to change everything and the protagonist is part of the victims, that would fall into the label of masochism. Even then some people could argue that the obscure Takeover route of Student Transfer has a character that could be a way to achieve power for the writer even when the events are told from John's perspective. I accept that the tag is still a bit wonky and the concept is a work in progress, but by now I propose it to you to group certain scenarios that follow this format.

While Power Trip might be infamous among people who like TF due to the psychological implications and the possibilities of creating conflict around the struggle of an identity change, it is true that Power Trip has its own appeal, normally between people who like TF for lewd reasons more than for any psychological or dramatic reasons. I would define it as some sort of dark, freeform Wish Fulfillment that doesn't take care of real-world ethics.

Going back to A New Life, the scenario offers a new take of Claus, the most respected person in school due to his grades and his intelligence. Once a new student arrives, Michelle, Claus loses his spot as the number one student and looks for a ghost trying to make a wish so he can get revenge. The spirit, Faith, tricks him and steals his body, making Claus a ghost unattached to the shrine that needs to have a body to exist. If he stays without a body for too long, he will end up disappearing.

The scenario at the moment goes through a big amount of decisions and flairs but offers overall two main routes (with a big new Sandra route coming soon) and it has something that makes it stand over a lot of other scenarios, detailed animations all over the story to enhance the experience. For the most part, there is all sorts of boob bouncing, boob bouncing with dresses, with sports shirts, boob bouncing with all kinds of poses, if you love lewd content you will certainly enjoy all these animations that really make you submerge more into the story.

The main route starts when Claus possess Allison and due to her assets, decides to stay as her for the time being, Irene discovers the truth and after some time Claus discovers how to mind control her as well as Allison, making them both praise him and obey him as their master, Claus also concedes Cornelia her wish of being her friend Sayaka instead in exchange of having Irene take her place in her body so they all can live in her mansion. What the story points out now is that Claus is presenting his new self to school and is planning how to get to the top again and avenge Michelle, but Buggs writes the story as he imagines it so things are pretty much unpredictable, really.

The characters are very one-note, Allison is treated as some sort of dumb airhead that only knows about her boobs, Claus is very much a Mary-Sue with incredibly high levels of intelligence and no regards for the feelings of others, and Irene is treated as the tough girl of the group, but I have to admit she is the one that feels most natural of the tree so far.

Overall, what else you can ask for? It's an over-the-top, bizarre story where you as a protagonist have no limits, there is also (some sort of) plot, which makes it different from previous Power Trip scenarios where things just keep happening without reason. The descriptions about Allison's body and breasts are very detailed and that added to the superb animations Buggs has carefully crafted all over make this route a favorite for me and a solid recommendation for any Lewd scenario fans.

The other route focuses on a male-to-male possession where Claus enters the body of Stevie and some days after confronts Mel who is picking up on Stevie. Things happen, and Mel and Claus start to get closer to each other more and more while he is in Stevie's body. While it is interesting to see Mel feel intrigued and confused by this new Stevie as if she develops her feelings for him, I found it ironic that the whole route is based on fixing the relationship of these two while Mel is just talking with somebody that has possessed Stevie, not the real him. Claus overall acts the same as he does in the whole scenario, trying to show his superiority and being apathetic to her advances even when externally giving up to them until they have sex. If Claus stays in Stevie's body, he is probably going to get somebody to reach for, but Claus overall I felt he was the same until the placeholder, with little to no character growth, he wins them all, and he always has the reason.

This route is overall a mixed bag, it is one of the few or probably the only one with Male to Male possession in the Student Transfer scenario catalog, and thanks to Stevie's huge penis, it is probably a good option for guys who want some variety and want to feel who it is to be a more "gifted" person :P. But the thing is that Stevie overall looks too young and that might be a deal-breaker for some (the initial release had to be deleted since Stevie was described as underage). Buggs says that he can't really write about a boy who isn't girly enough since if he isn't then it isn't really different enough to Claus and therefore not interesting to write, which is a fair point as a writer, but still something I would mention to people who want to check the route out, Stevie is basically a girly boy with a really huge penis, which plays in the irony of his appearance.

Even when I do not usually enjoy lewd scenarios, I found the Allison route quite enjoyable and recommendable, all things considered, and I am waiting for an update soon.

Powers by royal422

 

After discovering his new ghost powers, John ends up getting discovered by his Mom who can see ghosts due to experience with John's Dad, John ends up possessing her and at school, he starts a possessing spree starting with Rita and Rachel, the scenario ends after 5 minutes.

This scenario is just another proposal of Serial TF (Serial Possession in this case) that ends before it even starts, John acts impulsively like Kiyoshi, without caring too much about what his Mom says, and using his powers led by his horny thoughts. If you like this kind of content, the scenario doesn't offer really anything aside the set up, so you can easily skip it.

Demonic Experience by Knightmare49

 

After a long rant that takes half of the scenario where KN49 tells us why he couldn't update The Tale of the Loser that month because his dad took his laptop borrowed, the author shows us the idea for a story where Kat becomes a demon.

Kat mentions being hurt and goes to the park and meets Circe and because of a curse she has gotten from who is it implied to be Setsuna, she says she has little time to live, and instead of spreading her energy in the mana of all the earth, she decides to give that power to Katrina instead.

Afterward, Katrina takes her form, Circe gives her the spellbook she used, and finally disappears. Katrina wanders around and finds Elizabeth who is feeling frustrated with her life as a maid with Cassie, and since Katrina as a demon needs negative energy to survive, she asks herself if she should use her or find someone else.

That it's, that's the whole scenario, I don't know what do you expect me to say aside from what I have said of other scenarios, it ends too quickly, nothing happens, etc. The author says Katrina would have been very carefree with her own power and that is why she chose her, but since the project is abandoned it seems we will never get to see why.

The Tale of the Loser by Knightmare49

 

With a playtime of around 15 minutes, The Tale of the Loser offers a story similar in style to Harem where the player can swap and possess different people with no consequences in a sort of fetishistic wish-fulfillment without limits.

The small routes that this scenario shows have:

1. Dominic becoming a famous actress, Gwen, after copying her body from a show on the TV screen. Gwen coincidentally arrives at his house at that same time and sees Dominic morphed as her.

2. Dominic stealing Connie's life and make her continue his life as Dominic in his old body

3. Dominic swapping with Flavia, Allison, and Cassie, each one in different routes.

Overall, most characters act like normal human beings unlike in the dream world Harem shows, Dominic swaps with all kinds of people without taking care of their feelings, just like Kiyoshi, but he shows a little remorse for his actions that are completely taken care of by his own desires.

An interesting thing to note about this scenario is that it seems to point about Abbyswap route or a route related to Abby, some characters talk about an incident in school, making everybody taking the day off, apparently, Abby and John got in some sort of trouble that is never explicitly mentioned.

The narrator also talks directly to Dominic in several parts of the scenario, including the beginning where he apologizes to him for giving him such a bad story because he lost 900 lines of coding while working on the story, recommending also to other scenario authors to make backups.

The scenario is overall pretty short and already discontinued, aside from the Abby and John plotline, it is mostly focused on the sexual appeal of these stories for the reader, if you can get off in less than 15 minutes, well, check it out, I guess.

John Junior, El regreso (Spanish) by mrdonferri

 

This scenario is awful.

No, it's not just awful, it's incredibly putrid and bad.

No, it's not just putrid and bad, it's an insult to everybody who tries to read it.

Did you think Harem was bad? Think again. Basically, John gets a remote for his birthday from his Dad, shenanigans happen, shit happens, and overall, the writing is at the level of Harem but the difference is almost every single plot ends up containing either implicit AND explicit parts with underage characters. If you are the ones that like non-sensical and wacky TF like Harem, trust me, there is a lot of stuff that is infinitely better than this, thank God it has been removed so it doesn't see the light of the day, ever again.

Oh, and the characters were always changing size for no reason! Connie was half her size! And in the next scene, she was normal! The same with John! What was going on?

You, English-only speakers, you are lucky for once. God, what an abomination.

Body Switchers by mbrad

 

While Body Switchers' style will be disappointing for those who look TF for the psychological drama attached to it, people who like the physical part of the swaps would have enjoyed these frenzies where characters focus all the time in the bodies each time they enter to.

In this story, John and Kiyoshi are given the power to switch bodies by will, which they do start with their two best friends, afterward, they start swapping with the bodies of every person they see at school for one reason or another, swapping Brad and Zoey to give Brad a lesson, swap with Tori and Vanessa to give them a lesson, swap Sayaka with Cornelia to give her a lesson, swap Mina with Eric for an experiment, or swap with Kiyoshi and John's mom out of pure lust and curiosity.

Aside from the loose notion characters have from their canon personalities, all of them are left to their barebones acting mostly by the gender stereotype they are part on, characters usually have the same cadence and overall they all point out the basic gender roles every time they get swapped, boys are stronger, bigger, girls are more attractive and weak, this could have gotten repetitive for some but the people who do not want to look too deep into the logic of the situation to get a quickie done would have enjoyed it without issues, and in the way the scenario is written, they could have gotten a quickie one after the other.

The swaps come and go rapidly, showing a similar approach to scenarios like John's Sudden Lifechange but with relatively better results and a relatively more logical plotline, the logic doesn't work the same as in real life, but it is comparable to TV sitcom logic.

What we start to see here is a certain division on the Student Transfer audience, people who are into TF for the psychological, nonsexual aspects of it, and people who like the sexual and physical aspects of it; in that sense, Body Switchers pointed to the latter group a lot more, logic is a secondary aspect of the plot since the characters are there only to acknowledge the body differences they perceive with each swap, overall, the scenario didn't look to take itself too seriously, and what has proposed it was fun if you were part of the demographic is targeted. 

This scenario would have been recommended, but because John and Kiyoshi are tagged as underage people at the end of one of the routes, and as well the existence of one Natsumi scene, this scenario had to be removed for violating TFGS rules due to depicting kids in sexual situations. People who want to read something of this same style can still check its reboot available with the name of The Gift of Switching for Student Transfer v4.

Harem by AmneLeGrand3

 

In the story of the Student Transfer community, Harem has become one of the most well-known scenarios although the reasons why are rather unfortunate, and Harem has become for a lot of people to what not to do with a scenario.

The story follows Kiyoshi in a rampage of actions that in the end do not make too much sense and confuse the reader. The scenario is written as if no second thoughts were given about each plot element, the concept is so primitive that most people will be able to identify with it due to its dream-like logic throughout the whole story.

What makes Harem bad for a lot of readers is how things are developed, Kiyoshi ends up mind controlling every person he encounters without giving anybody the opportunity to react so he can create his own "Harem" dream, including his relatives like his Sister and Mom. No empathy is given to anybody without any feelings of remorse or thoughtfulness to the people who are mind-controlled. For those fans of TF that like to explore the psychological and social aspects of TF, this makes the scenario null in worth since it does not do any work to explore any of these aspects and goes straight into some sort of wish-fulfillment fantasy that end ups being boring for most people since everything ends up being "perfect" for the protagonist, and asks more suspension of disbelief that any story is allowed to ask for.

The protagonist does not suffer any consequences (in almost all of the routes), nobody can't react to his new powers for too long, since everybody ends up being mind-controlled, the protagonist is happy, the people are happy, but underneath we have a psychopathic-like character that has no limits and a cast disposed of their own identity and opinions, giving the scene a very dark and "macabre" feeling.

The sexual scenes are mostly lackluster as well since they consist mostly of the time in repetitive blowjobs with not too much describing of the situation. Even then, the scenario has gained a certain cult following due to its ironic appeal, the scenario is so erratic that can it even be considered funny for some, it is absurd and surreal in an unintentional way, comedic in the same way The Room is; there are also people who are able to ignore all of these issues if they do not take the scenario seriously either, going straight to the point merely to jack off.
