First off, I apologies for the rant I am about to deliver, but you hit a nerve with that response. I was hoping for others to write their personal opinions or get to see what their favorites were.

Oh I understand that concept, however it is very odd when those characters then are not punished or fall at the end, but in fact their worst qualities are represented as the correct one by the narrative... leaves the audience, who feel those emotions, narratively blue-balled and great dissatisfaction. Imagine alternative story for GoT: The emotion in the scene where Tyrion slaps King Joffrey. Satisfying downright cathartic even if no where near the end, right? Now imagine you knowing Tyrion will not just be punished for it severely, but there is at most a 1-2% that Joffrey will be dead, imprisoned or otherwise lose. And a 90% chance he will be on top of the world torturing everyone by the end. Would you want to continue that story??? THAT is the feeling I get with the five negative characters I listed. The problem is NOT you having unlikable characters. IT IS HOW YOU USE THEM AND WHAT THEY DO TO THE STORY!!! 

Hatred and misery without catharsis physically hurts. Worse when it does not make me hate just the character but hurts the world-building, because other characters have to behave illogically in order to force their screentime in a story that barely fits them.

Backyard Garden and Fashion Queen are both great examples of characters who I "hate" working well in your stories for me. Because yes, I love to hate them, I feel the hatred and disgust towards them, but they fit the narrative and there is satisfying payoff. Leaving me satisfied the main story-line has concluded.
That is very different from having characters, who make you hate part of the story/plot, because they either make the themes worse, such as an entire issue about how women are trash and love is for suckers~ or it makes the competent men appear like goobers, because their misogyny makes them reward anyone with a penis no matter how incompetent and broke, especially when the women are more competent than their underlings and should be high value sex slaves, and makes them not see use the women to their full potential, even if they are owned. Seriously, why are you using what is the equivalence of a high end gaming system essentially as a pizza tray?

I would love more stories in the future where misogyny is not treated like a virtue by the narrative, but it is just a character trait some of the sadder doms have like with FQ. It is fucking weird that the least misogynist parts of many issues are the bondage and kink scenes, because they focus on the women's position as slaves rather than it being about them being women...

I would much rather discuss the characters that I adore and like~ because that "defense" of those specific assholes I mentioned leaves me with the impression that it is good that I am feeling hatred through a large - sometimes the majority when it is light on the fun scenes, (like that horrid Red in Tooth & Claw part 1), comics. And that the artists wants me in the situation where I leave the comic, sometimes a series, with a feeling of hatred rather than satisfaction. I get misogyny is a kink, and that is what that is, (even if I prefer maledoms who are more capable than that) but if my level of hatred towards the characters is intentional on the writers part? Damn there is missing the actual climax/resolution for a MASSIVE number of the your stories. I adore the complex characters and the art style, but that- that response scares me into feeling like the stories are only going to get worse (not worse as in upping the kinks and extreme emotional stuff, that can be fun. But worse as in... more dumb characters hurting the narrative and more plots about the women being less not because they are sex slaves or they did something to be punished, but simply for having a twat instead of a penis.) Because the narrative/plot does not act like these manchildren are the characters I am meant to hate/want to see punished. Just portraying misogyny realistic, as pathetic and weak (emotionally, sometimes physical) men is not enough. The narrative cannot then reward them for it once their purpose is served, otherwise the narrative portrays it as the correct path, especially if punishing characters for the reverse values.

Sorry about the rant. Outside of Fansadox comics, stories is what I adore. Usually I do not even need a very high level of fetish because the story whether a consensual thrill ride or a revenge story of punishment for past misdeeds fulfills me. For Kitty Hand stories I NEED the beautiful, perverse elaborate scenes in order to compensate. My emotions in stories burn strong and bright- but with very few exceptions like FQ- I hate the stories in Kitty Hand comics (god that is so awful to say, but they have burned a hole in my chest this past week. And thanking me for feeling that... it is mean at best). I love the characters especially the women, what we have seen so far from Harry, and the dragon lord's aura (not dragon baby-lord). I adore the art-style. But I read your stories exclusively for the fetish scenes involved with them, for the emotional scenes between the women. Individual scenes can be fucking epic outside of their context. But take Enter the KA Club 2, my favorite character involved, but I only get 1 scene I like, 6 pages. The rest is beautiful, but the plot absolutely ruins it, and means the comic in its whole is something I will only read once. The kink scene multiple times. Enter the KA club 1 at least had more, and oh damn they were good. Why was Enter the KA Club 2 not just focused on training and learning to please?
I am so not used to thinking "This would have been better with less plot/story". But that is the way I often feel because the damn plot lacks catharsis. Vikki beating up her loser brother and father is cathartic~ having it happen before - and in defense of her mother not even herself! - leads to the reverse feeling like I am missing the climax with no promise of getting it due to the genre. And the promise that narrative satisfaction, however brief, will lead to a higher feeling of dissatisfaction later. 
Good examples of issues benefitting from focus on fetish over plot: Claire's Tale 4 (getting punished for causing mistress taking it up the butt is *chef kiss* both journey after in this issue and end being so fitting), Objection Overruled, Red Tooth and Claw 2. They are all great because of their strong focus on the fetish scenes and the plot within the fetish rather than what lead up to it, both story telling within them and art.

Of course I am just one perspective, maybe the rest of the audience love the "Misogyny is a virtue"/"all women should not just be sex-slaves, but feel like worthless sex slaves, especially when they are more capable than the men" plots, rather than tolerate them for the fetish and beautiful art involved. Because if a reader agrees with 'women should all serve under men' and 'love is for losers'/agree with the most pathetic characters "I am meant to hate"... suddenly every issue I have a narrative problem with works perfectly from a narrative sense. As those readers almost always get to experience their emotional release at the end.

I am just~ I am so fucking frustrated. From a technical level. I adore the art. I adore the writing-style. I love most of the main characters, and I want to see characters like Vikki, Nastya, Sophie go through absolute perverse and degrading sexual slavery, but in the end fucking win in some shape or form, because of how well they are written... knowing there is maybe a 5-10% chance at best... honestly, for any of these series, if I was confident that the losers I hate would fail and be punished severely by the narrative my opinion about the writing/plot/narrative would probably do a 180.

To anyone that bothered to read my rant... thank you... and I am sorry. Hope it amused you. Please, please do not hold back from writing what you love about characters you actually adore or like to hate. 

Quote from Comixchef on February 28, 2026, 2:42 pm

I understand your perspective. In Dofan's previous works, the narrative often follows a "bad guys always win" structure, sometimes sacrificing story coherence to ensure that abusers evade punishment, thereby amplifying the dark and oppressive atmosphere of their tales. I share your disdain for such comics. My principle is this: if characters behave like gangsters, humiliating and abusing female characters, then others will treat them as gangsters too, ultimately meeting a similar violent end as a gangster. Take Seth Douglas, for instance; his personality makes him a figure of scorn among his peers, yet he wields the power of his family to act with impunity until he stirs up serious trouble and is cast aside by them and meet his end. Since Seth isn’t a main character, his fate will be revealed swiftly. You enjoy "Fashion Queen" and "Backyard Garden" because those short stories have concluded, with all characters facing their reckoning. Your dislike for Fei stems from "Red in Tooth and Claw," which is an extensive series spanning at least six volumes, where Fei and Harry's journey is just beginning. As for characters like Xander or Timmy, these low-tier antagonists may elicit disgust, but their crimes do not warrant serious punishment, and they know better than to provoke those who shouldn't be trifled with. Just like in reality, such individuals persist over time; without a compelling plot twist, they might outlive many main characters.

Quote from SiggiWolf on February 28, 2026, 7:07 pm

I appreciate your response, and the desire to eventually give narrative closure to many characters. (Low-level people in real life are much more likely to be punished than those on the top... not really sure what reality you are talking about. But not important~ real life often does not have satisfying narratives. Stories are meant to have satisfying narratives, which require cause and effect.)

Even if I am not sure why many issues (or even some series) are not provided with some narrative satisfaction with the piece of the story being told: Punishing unimportant characters in the grand scheme, switching power-balance among slaves, or even you know giving women positions of power within the kink-world that is not as slaves - seem great for that. It is not like women cannot hold power in crime families or women are completely absent from violent crime in any capacity other than as victims, and the misogyny does not actually serve most of the kinks being shown when we really start to ramp up the BDSM stuff rather than just back-alley r*. Because then it often become the role of sex slave rather than woman...

It does make me happy to hear that maybe Seth will be dealt with swiftly. And it does give me hope for some kind of narrative closure for some of the very long-running character arcs... even if I would have preferred there to be some kind of way for the women to rotate who is on top in the main series, so there could be some kind of narrative closure in issues that still built into the next one. Or there being stories where some of the protagonists such as Vikki to be corrupted into a bad guy. There are many kinds of narratives I adore, and good prevails is not even my favorite in naughty comics, because as my favorite list shows, I want my main characters to not be idyllic and sweet. 

You are correct in saying that I like Backyard Garden because it is finished. BUT it would be a mischaracterization to say I like or love Fashion Queen's narrative because it is finished. Because while Eva and Yukari are my favorites, I "love to hate them" too in the narrative. Had Fashion Queen 1 been the only issue, it would still be my favorite story from Kitty Hand comics. My favorite narrative conclusion is not good prevails. It is the tragedy: someone falling due to a fundamental character flaw/ a narrative punishment story. [spoiler title="Some examples of this plot-type/less relevant and deals with kinks not common in Kitty Hand comics"]Pride, classist, elitist, bullies, etc. being brough low, this is the most common type due to its ease of use, Fashion Queen fits this gloriously. Homophobes turned into lesbian toys. Racists turned {insert non-white race}-owned. Misogynists turned sissies. Slut-shamers turned into well... obvi. Reprisal: example someone started or escalated something like a prank war they lost. Role reversal, mistress or master becomes slave to their servants or slave.[/spoiler] However that narrative requires a correct start with a protagonist that fits~ or like in 31s journey in Objection Overruled 3 viewed as a standalone issue, a character trying to manipulate and sacrifice others, and it blowing up in their face.
I enjoy the first Fashion Queen for how bitchy the main character was at the beginning, so she works for a "tragedy"-style narrative, where her downfall gives narrative closure on its own due to the "sins" of pride and emotional cruelty. The second issue then restoring her, defeating multiple other characters who were just as bad and her, and giving the sister bitchiness to her downfall as well is just a double love, no innocent protagonists or narrative shortcomings in that. These tragedy-style narratives can work very well, and is the reason I wish Vikki had been more unreasonably violent or an ambitious upstart in the first issue. Because then it would have been narratively fulfilling on its own. Fashion Queen 1 and Fashion Queen 2 are both my favorite trope in non-con and dub-con naughty stories. Plus you know~ we see both 1) women in charge alongside the men 2) side characters who do not hate all women, and even one of them aiding her in ending out on top.

Timmy may not warrant it from a crime in-universe. But from narrative point of view? He most certainly does. He is sort of like an Umbridge or Wormtongue. More hateable because he is more relatable than the "big bad".
Sometimes the big bad in naughty stories can stay in power if they are not actually the one that is more satisfying from narrative/plot problem for the protagonist.
One example (might be biased due to nostalgia) is Middle Eastern Nights. Sure, the "big bad" is the sultan/sheikh/lord, but the main character ends up getting payback on the favorite who tormented her. Leading to the protagonist embracing their role as favorite becoming a tyrant of the harem as well, before the final page showing her being usurped by a newcomer~ The narrative payoff is given through the characters that give a bigger emotional reaction instead of who is technically in charge. Doing so much~ revenge, corruption/turning into what your enemy, before retribution... it did a lot in a brief amount of time.
I have a hard time seeing Vikki's journey receiving a satisfying end without Timmy and her father dead, at least based on the first two issues. Because so far, they are the one that has the personal connection to her and the narrative drive. (Why else would so much time have been used on them in the second issue, if they are not important? I mean that goes against wanting to eventually give story coherence.) And especially because they are smaller players, they could meet their end without having to stop the kinky fun. 😅 Giving more narrative satisfaction along the way, just switching an issue to have a different obstacle to deal with, treating it like an episodic play.

While your response is not the one I would have liked for my favorite, Vikki, I very much appreciate it. As it will make it easier for me to prepare emotionally for the fact that her story will not end in a satisfying way and is one of the reasons I like to seek out spoilers, because at best it leads to anticipation and at worst it lessens the blow of disappointment. ^-^ Will still buy any following issues with her cause the scenes between Vikki and Gretchen are gold. (Unless of course those get phased out completely in issue 3, considering the reduction from issue one to two. It really is amazing how much just having one amazing scene raised my opinion of the second issue of Enter the KA club...) Maybe she will get to dominate her, as that will at least give her something. 😂 It does open the door slightly for Nastya's narrative, unless something is revealed that justifies her fall to the nasty -way too excited about her age- guy in the other direction. Jane's fate looked pretty bleak, but at least she was a bitchy bully so a little bit narrative closure there however small. Just hope Melissa is happy and not faking it in her role, since she is a side character anyway. So just happy to see her even without a character arc.

For all my frustration with the themes and story in many Kitty Hand comics. The beautiful art and kink-scenes in most of the issues, coupled with new prominent characters like Vikki, Nastya, and Melissa being so incredibly stunning to me, means it would probably take another issue like 'Red in Tooth & Claw 1' (without a single good scene, and a narrative that feels like going through the manosphere in comic-form), in order for me to stop reading. I really, really do not understand why that level of hatred is an intentional feeling from the artist. I would NEVER have bought the second issue, which to be clear was much better having several stunning kink-scenes, if I had not bought them as a bundle. In fact. If I had not bought all of the other series in a big purchase thanks to how much I adored the visual style of Nastya and Vikki, along with the fetish scenes between Vikki and Gretchen in Enter the KA Club... Buying 'Red in Tooth and Claw 1' would at best have made me research the heck out of every other series before purchasing and not touch anything bearing its name. I do not even want to see Fei punished anymore after having to go through that entire issue without him ending up a slave, as he fucking should. He screamed prime target to fall to the lowest of the low~ I just hope any further appearance of his is minimal. Ideally just spoken about like in issue 2. I am sorry about ending on a down. But I want to be clear. I cannot imagine anything happening in the future that would justify the dislike I feel for Red in Tooth & Claw 1 ((on a good day.) Searing hatred on a bad day like now~ cause the implication that you MEANT for me to feel like this throughout an entire almost 70-pafe porn-comic, or really anything I bought, with no scene for an emotional break from the disgust and hate, kinda sends me off. Easier if I the intention was at least some kind of emotional journal or Fei failing to resonate how you intended.  70 pages... Jesus Christ, that is more than 3 comics on lustomics. That is insane amount of pages for essentially no character progression, twists, different emotions, or changes to take place other than moving a slave around.) ... Fei inherently fails for me in every single way for me as a dominant character. He brings nothing save for the misogynist point of view which is already glorified among the doms and prominent in plenty of other Kitty Hand comics. There is nothing I "love to hate" about him. I "loathe to hate him". There are plenty of characters that are hateable like Rudy, Carson, The master of the mansion, the geek in classmates, Kate, who at least brings something to the table and work in their role in the story.

*I am sorry that I am being mean... It does come from a place of caring about stories and characters, and wanting... hoping for this lovely artstyle in stories that will resonate with me fully like it did in Fashion Queen. Fei and Red in Tooth and Claw 1 represents the antithesis of what I love. Because again, my favorite in non-con/dubcon is punishment~ narrative punishment for flaws/wicked deeds the reverse of the kind of narrative punishment that happens in most issues. Not good eventually winning over bad guys after hundreds and hundreds of pages. Having some of the doms as women-hating losers is the opposite of my kinks, especially when they are not punished within the issue. Because your comics are not short on page-space like yeah... KA club 2 only has 6 pages I love... but there are almost 44 other pages. And in fact it does provide a narrative punishment arc, but backwards. Punishing Vikki for doing the right thing and being a good daughter to her mother~ twice. Could easily have portrayed Vikki less in the right without using more page-space. Like~ fuck, the scene I love works perfectly in the kind of narratives I love, she could have assaulted her brother while he was with another slave or even just coming in to gloat, altering some backstory to have her more abusive than as a defender at home...

I would very much like to see Kitty Hand comics try their hand at consensual stories in the future, as I think you guys could be great at it.
It seems that outside of Fashion Queen, and selective plotlines scattered about such as the torment of Mona and Ivy, on the narrative front we are in numerous times on the opposite sides for non-con, if that was not the case, so much page-time would not be given to virtues/good qualities for characters being used as justification when wicked deeds or negative personality traits would take up just as much time.

Thank you. In addition to simply preferring to hearing not just the what/who, but the why of other readers liking certain characters. One of the initial hopes with making this thread/post to begin with was getting a feel for which characters, and therefore which kind of plot-lines, other members of your fanbase might favor. Since if I am in a minority among your readers, at least the hardcore group that would be on a forum, and the majority adore the opposite kind of narrative to me, then it certainly make sense for future stories to get further away from my interests.

(Though would be insanely surprised if the cover and promise of woman-on-woman in Gretchen with Vikki sold worse than Vikki with stepbro and dad. Even accounting for drop-off rates between numbered entries in a series. But obvi. I do not have market data to point to. You have much better hard data for insight in what works for the audience you have built along with those who are not the hardcore audience, but might stumble upon them.)

But I think I derailed my thread by overcorrecting assumed misunderstandings and will not be getting any member-replies. XD

Sincerely, I hope you love the craft of writing and bringing your ideas to life. 
It is something I fear I will never do, outside of being a narrator and DM, as my criticism towards others' stories pales to the criticism of my own expression. Self-criticism can be a crippling bitch and a hindrance to growth. 😛

Quote from vera molina on March 4, 2026, 9:13 am

I wanted to share my perspective on the stories and characters. I might be completely wrong, but this is how the comics feel to me when I read them.

To me the stories don’t really feel like they are about individual characters winning or losing. It feels more like the real “protagonist” is the world itself, the system of power, corruption, and decadence that exists in that universe. The characters are just people trying to survive inside that system.

In that kind of world, normal people tend to get chewed up by it. Claire is probably the clearest example of that. She starts out relatively normal and ends up dragged into something far darker than she expected. It doesn’t feel like the story is punishing her personally as much as showing how overwhelming that world is.

Some characters survive by adapting to the system, like Carla. Others embrace it and become part of the machine, like Eva. Watching how different characters react to the same brutal environment is what makes the setting interesting to me.

The antagonists also work well in that context. Someone like Fei initially looks like a major villain, but later you realize he’s actually pretty low in the hierarchy compared to his father and grandfather. That moment made me think “damn, this world is even bigger than we thought.” It makes him feel less like the ultimate villain and more like another piece of a much larger system.

Characters like Xander show another side of that world: opportunists. When he discovers Claire is a prostitute, he immediately turns that information into leverage and starts blackmailing her for sex. It shows how some people in that environment don’t even need power themselves, they just exploit whatever weakness they come across.

One character I see differently from some readers is Jane. She can come off as a stereotypical “popular bitch” at first, but I don’t think she’s actually a bad person. She’s more blunt and reckless, with a kind of “screw everything” attitude. But she also seems genuinely loyal to Claire. That loyalty is what makes her story feel sad to me rather than satisfying. She’s not cruel in the same way some other characters are, she just ends up caught in a really cruel world.

I don’t really have a single favorite character, but I will admit I’m a sucker for strong, amazon-type women like Vikki. Characters like that always catch my attention. I also like Anne a lot because her design feels very different from many of the other characters, so she stands out visually.

What these comics leave me with isn’t really a “what the hell did I just read” reaction. It’s more a feeling of sympathy for some characters while also understanding that the harshness of the world is the point of the story.

Ironically, reading these comics also pushed me to start writing some of my own smut stories. They’re inspired by the atmosphere of Kittyhand’s work and also by Narita’s storytelling style (like Durarara), where the world itself feels bigger than any single character and different people can become the focus of the story at different points.

The main difference is that I tend to lean more toward gray or even happier endings. After reading a lot of BDSM comics and hentai where things almost always end badly for someone, I realized it can start to feel pretty heavy after a while. So I like exploring stories where the world is still harsh, but characters sometimes manage to get out of the situation or find a better outcome.

Anyway, that’s just how I see the comics. I’m curious how other people interpret the characters and the world.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. ^-^ I can certainly see that point of view, viewing the setting as a world in and of itself. My opinion is that comes off better in some stories than others.

Like you mentioned Claire's tale overall. Is a great dive into the themes of power, domination, but also what someone is willing to do in such a world in order to survive. Not just for yourself but those one care about. Claire's tale also works more for me because while yes~ the medical debts are the catalyst that sets it in motion, there are not really any issue that seem to punish her because she chose to help and love her father. 

 

I am not as fascinated by the world, as I feel its particular version of gender-based "modern grimdark" is rather limiting in most stories, because of how restrictive the setting has been presented so far outside of Fashion Queen. While of course it pushes realism in order to further kink, but every time that is pushes character believability/consistency it is to make it darker and grittier. Especially in regards to misogyny, something real and high in our world. I find pushing it further than our own world odd, because it is already very high so any higher is putting a hat on a hat, and while in most fictional high-kink settings there are more male than women dominating, there are often one or multiple women on top that are also interested in domination and sex, if nothing else than as background characters. (Not necessarily as conventionally attractive as the subs, but still.) Though maledom and gendered slavery fantasies are not rare, not about shaming that. My narrative issue mainly comes when the story takes it further than that and the narrative becomes about punishing virtuous traits, as if it was negative traits.

vera molina: "What these comics leave me with isn’t really a “what the hell did I just read” reaction. It’s more a feeling of sympathy for some characters while also understanding that the harshness of the world is the point of the story."
Agree with many issues, except for the one with Fei, and also most of Enter the KA Club 2. Though the second the kink-scene with Vikki without her family still had me content. Though sometimes I have individual scenes in otherwise great issues leave me with that feeling too. 😛

Also agree that Jane, and all the women are fully complex characters, who are very interesting. Mainly that narratively felt like she was being punished for her negative personality trait in some of her issues, which fit better for me as I prefer a more traditional story structure in that sense.
Vikki is great visually and personality-wise <3

I also very much enjoy complex characters and kinky worlds where there are a lot of possibilities. As I remember something like Fernando's confiscated twins series was very good at that... a world of utmost debauchery, where no one was safe. Even if you were an absolute ass, if you were not clever you could fall as well. Having both protagonists unfairly caught up in it all and "villains" falling to one another in its stories. In fact a lot of narrative fun came from the shifting power dynamics between the "villains".
And completely opposite end of the spectrum, in mostly consensual furry-fun, Jay Naylor's Cottonwineverse. 😛
