From what I can gather, Stu seems kind of like a Mister Mxyzptlk sort of character. There are no flaws in the plan because there isn't really much of a plan to begin with: it's basically, "mess with humans and see how they react", unless I misunderstood Stu's motivation entirely.

2. Mental changes and instinct, I mostly believe that the whole instinct bit is really the person's own way of how they perceive the animal they turned into. How much of a mental change is considered too much that they're no longer a person anymore? Can instincts be controlled or even nonexistant?

Humans control their instincts all the time and certain non-human animals (eg. dogs) can be trained to control their instincts as well. For the purposes of this story, I can imagine a character continuing to act human and resisting the urge to, say, chase cars and bark at strangers.

As for the question of how far you can go with the mental change while retaining the character's identity, I'd say that a character must continue to be able to have coherent thoughts about herself and her situation. She might have new instincts, but she would have to recognise them as compulsions to do things that she wouldn't normally do.

3. How much of a biological change, whether it be from magic or science, does a TF victim to an anthro normally go for you? To just very little like certain food taste better while everything is the same when they used to be fully human, or so much that they have to change their life to accomadate that change, like a dog girl can't eat chocolate anymore because it will poison her now despite the fact that her body is mostly human shape?

If I were writing the story, I'd probably have it so that a radical change in diet is part of the overall TF, but I don't really have a strong preference either way.
