Hello people. I have just read this story up to this point and I must say that it is extremely deep. It really touched my heart, because it deals with very interesting and very complex topics. Regardless of the GTS theme, this story touches on issues like what exactly defines us as human beings. In particular, the scene that struck me the most was that of the city of the little ones in the alley. The death of those children, women and men in such a cruel way, man that brought a tear to me. My mother was in my room and she asked me what was wrong with me. I told him it was just a story that I was reading and I passed it on to him. We then had an interesting conversation on these topics. What is it that makes us human beings or persons? Many times in history those simple facts are overlooked. What differentiates humans from animals? It seems obvious, human beings dominate the planet to a certain extent, but to my understanding it is not that. I think it's our reasoning, at least that's what the scientists say. But that capacity that humans have to feel love, morals, decency, ethics, sadness, human values r03;r03;in short ... I remember that a man I admire a lot named José Julián Martí Pérez said in one of his articles when observing the horrors of the Spanish colonial prisons in which a 12-year-old peasant boy had been sentenced to forced labor in the stone quarries said:
"Something inside me, and every honest man knew what it was, began to grow. 12 years, 12 years sounded in my head. 12 years old he was and the Spanish government put chains on him, 12 years old he was and the Spanish government sent him to the quarries to be destroyed. My heart wept with rage and helplessness. "
Although it seems like a somewhat pathetic quote, I would say that I felt the same as José at that time. When reading each scene of cruelty, I felt a chill thinking about the anguish, the sadness, the infinite pain of all those who lost people sometimes for similar reasons. Simply because they were different and at the mercy of others who had the power to harm them. For me the characters of Grace and Jisoo are a center of contradiction, on the one hand they claim that what they do they do with the purpose of saving the planet from humanity itself and on the other hand what I imagine implies the enslavement of it or at least submission to their company. I imagine that the way in which humanity will submit, in history, is implicit in the terror of what will happen if humanity rebels against its "goddesses". As Batman said to Robin (Damian Wayne), how do you intend to rule humanity without being part of it? Personally, I didn't think that the death of Thomas, Alice's brother, was the right thing to do on Jisoo's part. What kind of person would a brother blame for defending his sister? Much more when he promised it, is it that neither Grace nor Jisoo saw this? And so we see how they dehumanize themselves, becoming perhaps just as murderous as those who murdered for pleasure.
In short, excellent story, I really like it. I long to see how it will end. These stories that touch your heart are pleasant readings that make you think and on top of that you enjoy. Thanks for giving us your art in this way man and keep it up.

That's a really beautiful quote and I think it is extremely fitting! I applaud the thoughtfulness of your feedback and am touched that you shared it and were able to have a good conversation about it afterwards!

Fantastic story so far! I do have some questions about Jisoo's family though.
1) Byung-ho isn't actually Jisoo's biological father, right? The story told to his ex-wife was false?
2) Is there a reason why Daiyu Fang's descendants go by a different surname (Chen)? If the clan's naming convention is matriarchal in nature (passes down through women), why would the surname change?
3) Are there male members of the Chen Family, or does the bloodline only produce women? It is mentioned earlier that both Jisoo and Grace started off as specks and went through an ascension later in life. Would males not go through this ascension and have to stay specks? It would be an interesting family dynamic to have all female family members be normal sized and all males be specks.
Author's Response:
Thank you for the comment!
1) Correct, Byung-ho is her adoptive father and Tae-yeon is an adoptive older sister.
2) This will be said later but it's a pretty non-important spoiler: Chen is the surname of Baochai Fang's first husband, and after she assumed control of his company she decided to use Chen instead of Fang since it was more marketable to English-speakers.
3) There are male members of the clan, but you'll find out later what life is like for them!

I completely understand the premise of this site, but considering I'd imagine the point of the story is to give a decent amount of plot with the giantess fetish, Grace just annoys me.
My issue stems from the inconsistency. She acts as a vigilante dealing out cruel punishment to speck-abusers, just like her cousin, and yet she literally just enslaved a good guy, who for all intents and purposes just wanted to save his sister. He never hated specks, hurt them or oppressed them.
At this point if the entire point of Grace isn't to be a sadistic pet-keeper I just want an admission of it. Because that's all I really see her as now, the kinky sadistic hot asian woman of the story.
I apreciate sadistic female characters in stories/movies etc. A lot of media usually don't portray women as sadistic, at least in regular entertainment, when in fact they easily can be. My problem is it's just it's like she turned a switch. The sadism was there a bit in the beginning, but now it's on full blast.
Don't get me wrong it's basically the hottest part of the story for me when Grace is in action, especially when she first captured Claire, the disregard she gave for literally entombing someone in her footwear was just crazy, but god damn I hate how she thinks of herself as a good person sometimes. Her actions with Thomas clearly shows she's not, sometimes her actions allign with "good".
Overall though, this is one of the best stories I've read on this site. Honestly probably the best that's still here and not deleted or banned off the site. You don't just throw kinky scenarios with no plot or dialogue, you give a semblance of a story, even if the plot itself is so far-fetched its funny at certain times.
Anyway thanks for writing so far, this story has been grat so far. I just wanted to get these thoughts out of my head and on electronic paper.
Author's Response:
"Kinky sadistic hot asian woman" is probably the profile description Grace uses on dating profiles lol.
There are almost 8000 stories on this site and that is very high praise to hear that this is among the best of them! Thank you very much, I definitely try to balance plot and sexual content as much as possible. Ultimately this site and most of its stories are intended to be pornographic, although there are many examples of genuinely good stories to read for more than just to smut. So whenever I put pen to paper so to speak it's a delicate act to make sure that there is not copious amounts of meaningless sex but also not an overload of strictly world building and character development some readers are not here for. I am pleased to hear the pace so far has been pretty good!

Good stuff again. I love this story. You haven't given up. Please try to maintain this high quality.
To many writers with good stories at some point give up and write annoying chapters.
Author's Response:
Sometimes you can tell an author has lost either their motivation for a story or they pump out chapters they clearly put little effort into. I definitely want to avoid that, especially since this is a longer story and I plan to invest a lot of time into it and readers also invest a lot of time into it as well. Hopefully each chapter that comes out only increases in quality as opposed to the opposite!

I love the duality of this story. Gentle and nurturing, contrasted by Tae's violent urges. For now, these two stories are running parallel to each other, but it seems they may cross soon. Hopefully Eren can make it out of this with his heart intact. He's the only truly innocent one so far.

Thank you for the feedback!

A very unique story that I'm glad to have read so far, it's quite rare that we get a story that mixes gentleness and cruelty like this, or that lets us enjoy the sweet bliss of well-deserved revenge. Looking forward to where you take this in the future, wherever that may be, and I'll be eagerly awaiting future chapters.

Thank you very much! I hope the direction the story begins to take from now is to your liking.

This story is FANTASTIC. Turnabout and revenge are old tropes but you're managing to knock it out of the park in such a creative way while giving us small little tidbits of Tae's past throughout the story to show us why she feels how she does and how she's able to do what she's doing. All of the size interactions have been super hot and it's been delicious seeing these former bigs getting their comeuppance once they're small. The bartender getting thrown in the toilet was so disgusting and hot. It's hard to say whether or not the punishment fits the crime, but that's part of why Tae is an interesting character, because she's not perfect so we have to flinch at the thought of "does this bartender deserve to get pissed on and flushed just because she looked the other way when Eren was getting tortured?"
I haven't written anything in a while so take my critique with a grain of salt due to how rusty I am, but this last chapter seemed a little confusing with the way you laid it out. I feel like it would have flowed better if you started with Tae going to the airport to get Grace and then once Tae got the text on Sylvia's phone, jumping forward in time to Alice being captured.
It's a small thing but I think it would make it less confusing as to the timeframe.
Also, the scene with Sylvia getting captured and shrunk was so incredibly well-done with Sylvia slowly starting to realize that something wasn't right until the terror at what was happening washed over her. That slow-burn really let us appreciate her fall from grace, so it was disappointing to not get a similar scene with Alice. It felt a little bit rushed to me. I was actually hoping to see a scene where Grace worked with Tae to get that job done!
Either way I'm loving this story and can't wait to see where else you take it. Cheers and thanks for sharing!
Author's Response:
I greatly appreciate your response!
I definitely agree that revenge can be overdone in fiction, I am elated to hear that I am keeping the tale original, and of course sprinkling in the size scenes which does beg the question if Tae is going too far or not with her actions, and the mystery why she cares so much.
Regardless of how much you write I think that's really good criticism which after reviewing the chapter I wholeheartedly agree with. Since I know where the story/chapter is going I can forget that the reader doesn't have all the information I do or my thought process which can make it confusing. Since time/flashbacks will happen at certain points in future chapters I wanted to introduce the concept, but think I missed the mark here.
Between Alice and Sylvia, I had not thought to include Alice's capture since Tae and Grace were not the ones to do it (at least directly), and thought the scene would be too similar to Sylvia's capture but would lack any surprise factor since by that point the reader would be aware of what was happening, whereas with Sylvia she and the reader learn what is going on at the same time. However I concur, it would have been really cool to see how that went and perhaps it will be explained more later! I definitely appreciate how much thought you put into the review and will make efforts to prove how the reader is able to interpret the passage of time in the story!
