Marlon Humphries is the head of a company on the verge of a breakthrough. His corporation has patented the design on a device which can reprogram anyone. Little does he know, he will be one of his device's first victims! The sultry and conniving Margaret Seiver has other ideas, and soon the whole company will be hers. Seiver will change the once-powerful boss into an emasculated servant for her ambitions, and Marlon won't be the only one! A gender-bending tale of revenge and transformation!
Did you ever take part in that experiment where somebody is blindfolded and given instructions to complete a particular task, but can only obey the instructions given? Where they cannot assume anything, cannot show any initiative, and cannot fill in the blanks with missing steps? It always ends in disaster (usually humorously so) because humans are so complex, and our actions are comprised of an entire hierarchy of actions.
Keep that in mind as you read Bad Code because, as Lyka Bloom so creatively demonstrates, words have power . . . and sometimes the results we intended are not where our instructions are leading.
Thwarted in her attempts to initiate human testing of her new technology, Margaret Seiver decides to make her boss, Marlon Humphries, her first guinea pig. She uses her mind-control technology to usurp his power, take over his life, and forcibly feminize him into her slutty sissy secretary. With the experiment looking to be an unqualified success, she begins taking control of the entire company, using a combination of surprise, assault, trickery, and seduction to bring more and more men and women under her control.
With such power at her fingertips, you might think she would start looking at extending her reach, but she is a young woman of simple desires and limited vision. Instead of transforming political structures and creating a global community of desperate consumers, she is content to toy with her coworkers, creating sissies and hucows to amuse her. It is a failing that we, as readers, are just beginning to question as Marlon begins to find his new bimbo body reacting strangely, with almost frightening new thoughts invading his submissive mind.
Without saying more, that is where Bad Code begins to get really interesting. In setting out to correct the bad code in humans - changing behaviors, overcoming addictions, eliminating pain, and more - Margaret's frantic rush to seize control of the company has replaced bad code with bad code, and the results are not going to be what she expected. This is a sexy, thrilling read, with all the luscious details that Lyka writes so well, but it is also a thoughtful one, and the surprises here are exhilarating. I wondered where she was headed with it, and whether there would be a fix, a confrontation, or a new chapter, and I love how the story ended . . . even as I wonder if we might see these women again.
It's a good story if you enjoy femdom forced feminization stories. There were also some twists and developments that are uncommon in many similar stories. However, from femdom perspective there were several actions missing, for which rating it five stars would not be right. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this story.
Fell slightly short due to the abrupt ending, however,the characters were well thought out and the story was well thought out and well versed with numerous characters.
