That's what I wanted to say, and I'm glad you're in the same camp.
For sure for sure, for most doujins it truly feels like the author is using MC as an afterthought (tho they are some good ones).
It's sad cus then you see people criticizing the MC fetish by saying it's boring and a shortcut to a good narrative, but that's only because they've only been exposed to it through shitty narratives IMO.
Someone getting hypnotized into fucking can be very nice don't make me lie, but only when it's built up to and used to present a contrast in the subject to further drive in the effectiveness of the MC process.
That said, on the other side of it, I still think instant_loss is a pretty funny tag, always makes me giggle.

My hot take is that programs like Kisekae and Custom Maid are good. I would rather a great story in kisekae than a bad story with great illustrations, and they usually work as starting points for artists to get their feet wet.
Mmh, I get that but at the same time if you're using Kisekae and the like to make a good story, I don't think you would lose much to just write the story without any illustrations honestly.
If your goal is to eventually draw full hypno stories, then you might as well start with sketching rather than a program like that, and if your goal is not necessarily to draw but just to write a good story, you can kind of ditch the program TBH.
