Hey Nostory, it's me again.. I'm sorry to stalk you like this, but considering how I liked Downtrodden, I couldn't let some of your hours of work go to waste... I had to read this story :D


I'm a bit glad that I've read it all at once, cause this way I can review your complete work.

Ok, let's begin with the universe (you'll understand that I'm not a reviewer at all, so don't expect a wonderful criticism from me ^^), the story speaking about a giantess locked on an isolated island, a man who discovers her when his boat is unfortunately threw off by a storm, he lands there, etc.. And then all this thing about her being used as a weapon... It wasn't that original, but with this comes the strength of your tale. It's true, you made a masterpiece with something that isn't that much out of ordinary !! It's with this kind of demonstration thar we trully see what you're able to do, your genius is there.

To be honnest, I didn't like The Escape Redux as much as liked Downtrodden (maybe because there isn't this dimension of a rude past for your characters). Though I must admit that it was a really pretty story. Sure thing is also that I'm fond of love relationships, or very friendly at least, and there wasn't that much of it around here, so this is only a question of taste :) Once again, I see this fact as a strength in itself : the giantess you "built" wasn't meant to be there because you wanted people to interact with her, but she had a real meaning in this story, she's even a key element of your scenario. I'm not sure if my point is clear, but let me explain briefly : your giantess isn't really out of nowhere, all the story gravitate around her, and this is a good thing. Surely, this hazard causing Jack to meet her is a bit hard to believe, but in reality... Who cares ? The important thing is that they met, and then a strange relationship begins.. To be honest once again, this kind of relationship wasn't my cup of tea, but I believe it was well done, logical at least : A rich dumbass way too sure about his capacities and an endearing person like Jessica had nothing to do together, and this is obvious that they couldn't go well together. But I hoped that Jack was going to change, seeing how she treated him and all.. But the personality of your charachter would have been awfully less interesting (yeah if he had been more docile, then in what would have he been worthwhile ?). So yes, I would have liked a more friendly relationship between the two of them, and I've got to admit that when Jack tried to run away at night, I was hurt for Jessica. Her reaction was trully right from what I saw, some may have wanted her to be more cruel, but then would it have been logical coming from a woman as nice as her ? I don't think so. The scene when she's fighting against the jets was really really cool, but I was a bit disappointed when she arrived at Miami.. Sure you expressed the people fear and all, but I thought it would have more details, would have taken longer.. But as I've seen you were a bit in a rush with your other stories, and this is something I can perfectly understand :) 

I just have two things left, the first being the fact that I didn't see at all Lauren's plan coming, and it was something really well thought :) The part about her using Jessica as a diversion was a good one, maybe she shouldn't have underestimated her big ennemy :3

Also, I always search stories thought about the little guy in the relationship not being totally useless, because when he is given an important role once in the story, it is a proof for me that the story has been well thought, this isn't that simple to do so (I don't know if your see my point, I'm really sorry once again). Just to tell that appart the fact that Jack is rich and he can offer her a "life" in the end, this character has no heroic characteristic. Maybe it would have been better if this guy boring and unnerving in the beginning turned out to be someone brave and courageous :) but again your story is realistic this way, I am probably overestimating the power of love haha xD

Although with the end you proposed I am hoping he'll become someone better, and the way you showed him to us is really promising.

A special thanks for the scene with the wild dogs : It's true I am fond of feet (and I would like to draw your attention on the fact that this didn't stop me from reading your stories without that much foot interaction) and usually not really liking the crush scenes, but this one... Maybe it's a bit because she does it to save him, but it was pure bliss... :3

You'll understand that I had things to say on this story and I'm not that strong to explain them, plus they weren't that much positive, but trust me if I did this then it was because I thought for a long time about The Escape Redux. Even if my words aren't always kind and I might seem rude, be sure to know that I liked very much the story. Your stars are very well deserved, because the time it took you to work on something this good is clearly visible.

Frankly, great job man. Nice done :)

Hope to read more of it later, trully :)



Author's Response:

Thank you for reviewing and I don't call this stalking, its just reading haha.

The idea was generic and I don't hide the fact that the idea behind this is not creative in itself, I just wanted a giantess on a deserted island meeting a shipwrecked guy and he'd have adventures with her. I'm glad you liked how I  did it. 

 

A lot of people tell me that, that they like Downtrodden more than this one and its fine ,I guess Downtrodden is easier to relate to. There wasn't any element of a romance because this story didn't need one, I didn't want to have that part. Maybe in the sequel, due to be released in 2016 will have it?

I agree that if Jack were too nice and well behaved, the story would be a lot less interesting and even boring, glad you liked the scene where fought jets. I apologise for the Miami portion , was rushing and it showed. I'll try to avoid that but just wanted to clear my stories. Lauren's plan was good, simple but very effective as only Zoltan and Jessica noticed.

 

Jack offering her a place is at least some respite from the fact that Jessica is now homeless, its a step in the right direction for him.

Oh you liked the fight in the jungle? Great, I'm not a person fond of feet but it was never meant to reach out to foot fetishes out there. I like it when a giantess kills to save her friend :)

 

I'm not offended, glad you liked it and thankful you took the time to type out this review to point out my mistakes.

Hope you'll enjoy the sequel!

Thanks for another fantastic story! You and vgiv are certainly among the best authors on this side as far as the plot-oriented stories go and this ending certainly makes me anticipate the sequel. Between the military wanting her back and Caitlin’s feelings for Jessica, it will certainly be interesting to see how that unfolds, especially since Caitlin’s feelings, right now mostly anger, could quickly turn into jealousy. I guess Jack will have to be careful if her wants to keep his girlfriend...

Keep it up. I'll always be following your stories :)



Author's Response:

Thanks for the compliments! 

vgiv definitely helped to improve the story, turning Jessica from docile giantess into a sassier giantess was his idea and I am glad to see he liked it, Jack being a total douche at the start was mine. 

 

There's a lot going on now for Jessica, Jack and Caitlin as you've pointed out. The government wants Jessica back plus lets not forget the public reaction to Jessica herself, Jessica will have to deal with that. Caitlin and Jack just got a little more complicated  since the former despises her and Jack is caught between the two due to his change of heart over Jessica and having to keep Caitlin from jumping at Jessica.

The sequel will be out once I finish Downtrodden, it is all planned out and I just have to flesh out the outlines I have so   once I finish the last 10 chapters of Downtrodden you should see something.

Wow... Caitlin's a riproaring bitch. Think she's feeling encroached upon... Maybe one day she'll realize that things could have turned out very, very differently if Jessica was cannibalistic, mentally unstable, or sadistic. Maybe she'd learn how lucky she is to see Jack ALIVE, considering how Jessica could have eaten him or tortured him into submission if she had different temperment. Caitlin needs to know where she stands.



Author's Response:

Yeah not the best impression from Caitlin although we've seen her twice before this meeting. 

I hope Caitlin does realise the error of her ways since Jessica could be using Jack as a buttplug if she wished to and she'd never see or hear from Jack again.

Thanks for the reviews!

Woah, Caitlin has a mean streak in her doesn't she? But also, Jess has got to get some thicker skin honestly, because now that she's exposed to the world, people are going to say things much worse than what Caitlin just said about her! And it makes sense too, Jessica is very very different, and it takes time for humans to get used to things that are different.



Author's Response:

Caitlin is still sore over nearly being eaten. Jessica has been pretty sheltered all her life with her father, Zoltan and the government protecting her from scrutiny so now that has been lifted, a lot of people are going to say terrible things about Jessica. Jessica is not just different, she is large and powerful which scares people since no one knows what she can do but that her potential for destruction is potentially limitless. 

 

Thanks for all the reviews, hope you'll enjoy the sequel!

Jack has enough money to build a giant house for her. She is almost 60 metre. About 35x times the normal size of 1.70 metre. That house can be 420m by 420m. hight can be 100m. A little land around it. Problem solved.

Enjoyable story by the way.

 



Author's Response:

Jack can definitely afford to build a huge house for her , as a multi billionaire money won't be an issue for him.

Your numbers are good but you are a little off when it comes to Jessica. Jessica is based off real life model Jessica Gomes who is 1.77m in real life and she was 60 metres until her last growth spurt which puts her at about 70 metres in height but the house would still work. Good suggestion and we'll see how close you are when it comes to the sequel(s) 

Thanks for reviewing!
