Re: Bigger is better
I like both fast and slow expansion, but I'll agree that there's not enough slow. The one thing that isn't so great is instant stuff, since those are usually just gags, but I think that's a pretty common opinion around here.
Over time my tastes in BE have skewed heavily toward any situation where the subject enjoys the end result, so consensual expansion is what I lean toward. My favorite scenario is a girl who specifically wants larger breasts to get her wish along with a huge confidence boost-- so characters like Lina Inverse, or other 'pettanko' types who are characterized by their envy of busty characters, are great subjects. However they're rarely given the BE treatment since most of the time being flat is considered an essential schtick.
Just once I'd love to see some sort of anime or manga play out where the downtrodden flat-chested character gets to slowly become the bustiest character without reverting, leading to interesting role reversals and such. I'm a big fan of the mini-power trip, and in more sex-oriented works, it's great when the subjects quickly learn to use their new assets to their advantage, overwhelming some hapless victim...with sexiness. My favorite BE story (though technically also a mini-GTS story) is "Compounding Interest" by Hunter S. Creek, which is about a scrawny, shy little girl who slowly wins over the narrator over the course of a year or so while growing and becoming more and more confident.
Also I think I'm in a bit of a minority in this forum when I say that I'm fine with artificial augmentation/ implants, particularly (surprise) expanders. Injecting more saline into an expandable implant is literally the closest thing the real world has to self-controlled breast expansion (in fact that's exactly what it is), so there's that.
I don't have the skills necessary for this, but one day I think it'd be really cool to see a visual-novel style game or RPG where you actually play as a girl who's out to get larger breasts through whatever means necessary. Or perhaps you'd play as the friend/boyfriend/girlfriend trying to help, but either way it could have a lot of those 'realistic' little bits that MayaOsaka was describing. I don't think there's ever been a straight BE-centric game that did the slow burn like that.
