"...window washer for an executive *office building* was cleaning a window of the *sixtieth floor*...she had to *kneel* just to look at him..."

Finally! Some indication to the size of the giantesses! Now I can obsessively try to calculate their height compared to humans. Let's begin:

Firstly, how high up is Anthony?
According to the CTBUH tall building height calculator (yes that is a real thing. I'm also shocked. Link below) a 60 story office building is 257.4 meters (844.5 feet) tall. Subtracting out the height of maintenance areas on the roof, the height of the 60th floor window is 249.6m (818.9 ft). We can therefore assume that Cecilia's eyes are at a level of approximately 818.9 ft in height while she is kneeling.

Now the question becomes: if that is her eye level while kneeling, what is her total height? This question depends heavily on what one considers kneeling. According to Wikipedia, there are two types of kneeling:
"Vertical kneel: where both the thighs and upper body are vertical – also known as "standing on one's knees"
Sitting kneel: where the thighs are near horizontal and the buttocks sit back on the heels with the upper body typically vertical."
Basically, while kneeling, one's thighs can be at any angle from completely vertical to completely horizontal relative to the shins and the ground. As such, all numbers past this point will be given as a range. Based on measurements o took of myself kneeling, one's eye level is at between 68% and 57% of their full height. Given these numbers, we can find Cecilia's full height using the equation (818.9 / {0.68 to 0.57}) which gives us 1204.4 to 1436.8 ft as Cecilia's height.

Finally, we use this height to find the approximate ratio between human and giantess height. Since Cecilia is not presented as being particularly tall or short compared to other giantesses, we can assume she is around average height for a giantess, and is therefore equivalent to an average height woman of 5' 3", or 5.25 feet. Using the equation ({1204.4 to 1436.8} / 5.25) gives us a ratio of between 229.4 to 1 and 279.7 to 1 of the height of giantesses compared to humans. Given the uncertainty as to how average Cecilia's height is, the most I can say with confidence is that, on average, giantesses are between 200 and 300 times the size of humans, meaning that the average giantess is between 1000 and 1500 feet tall.

Welp, I didn't see that coming. :/ A tall building height calculator I mean. When I started writing the story, I used the Giantess Converter to determine the height of the giantess in the story but never thought to calculate the buildings they were surronded by.

 

Your impressive calculation skills has this half-baked writer stumped. My intentions was for the giantesses to be able to interact better with the smaller folk so I decided to have their height be around 120 ft. tall. 

 

This has to be one of my greatest mistakes while writing this story and thank you for pointing it out. I might have to redit this chapter by changing the floors and height of the building. I apologies for this error.

Sorry for not writing this review sooner. My stupid-stupidness didn't see this new chapter in the Most Recent page when it came out >:( Which is unfortunate as I really look forward to each chapter... stupid me and my stupid sleep schedule. Earl stupid of stupid town - his royal highness King Stu Pid IV - baka of bakas.

Anyway! I LOVED this chapter! It did everything it needed to and more - fixing the only real gripe I had with this story (there being too many characters introduced at one point) by sprouting off and giving focus to each one individually. With them being interesting and given distinguishable qualities that didn't fall under eccentricities. That's a really impressive feat! Their characters were subtle but also blatant (meaning they were easy to get the gist of) in their approaches - especially considering how many were introduced. 

I already know that this review is gonna be a long one so I'm gonna do this to structure it better:

Intro: (Thomas and Tiffany) 

At this point, (continuing on the thought of Chapter 18 being a turning point), I think this is as far as Tiffany and Thomas go in their development. As in, I think the way their interactions and everything have reached the point at which they've excepted each other and the only further development will be when this solace is disrupted - to test how much they actually and truly feel for each other (which has been done - but not to a dire extent).

Cecilia:

Definitely have a better grasp on her now - getting a sort of Asuka vibe. Her personality to me is that of someone how does care about what she believes in, but also on the other hand, also does it because it makes herself feel like a better person in a situation where she is dominant.
Maybe, that's why she decided to mother these tinies because people in the giant world saw her wealth and power and where too intimidated - maybe that's why she decided to become the center of these people's lives - as she couldn't connect with people in her own world.

Trisha:

To me, she seems like an interesting character to be developed. I want to see more scenes with her in the future to flesh out who she is - what type of person she is and whether or not she turns out to really care for her tiny. At this point she just seems confused so I wonder what it'll be like when she inevitably breaks - either in acceptance or denial. If you get my drift. I just mean that I think she'll be interesting to watch grow.

Bree:

Possibly my favourite of all the new characters. She's just an embodiment of absolute innocence within this story of arguably detestable/flawed natured characters. To me she's the only truly innocent and likeable character right off the bat of their introduction - like she isn't hiding anything. Whether that'll change or not I don't really know. But for now I appreciate her as being a relaxing and gentle character.

Blair:

What can I really say about that interlude?

...more like Inter-LEWD

Awww fam yeh cuz that was like bareeeeeeeee jokes man init bruv. Like - no neck, mothers. I swear down. You chatting my language?

Beverly/Zeke:

I've seen quite a few reviews already hypothesising the impending situations that may challenge Beverly's character so I don't think I need to here. But I have to say, I do see their relationship getting rather bitter-sweet/tragic by the end...

Regardless, I'm PUMPED to see what happens next. I've been enticed in this story since the first few chapters. And whilst I was initially drawn by the centralised narrative (and I'll admit a bit apprehensive about all the new characters coming in all at once). I now love the very natural direction the story has taken. I look forward in seeing what comes in the next few chapters.

 

(Just a tiny note, I noticed a few spelling errors here and there - like the very last word. I don't mean to be rude by saying this. I just thought making it known to you would be best if you were unaware)

See ya! ;)

Hey MM! Man, you guys are killing with the reviews! Thank you so much! I guess chapter 19 was the best chapter so far. Btw, you're not a baka lol Sorry about some of the mispellings and grammar errors. It's sad that I actually thought I proofread this chapter properly -_-

 

I think I'm the real baka here...

 

Your analysis on the girl was interesting but just to clear any confusions, Gwen is the giantess and Trisha is her tiny lol I was actually more intrigued with your analysis of Bree. ^.^ She really does appear sweet and innocent, doesn't she? In fact, when I wrote her part in this chapter, I originally wanted the mother to reject her even after she sees Bree trying to comfort her son but I couldn't bring myself to have the titaness sweetheart go through that. The way you weighted out Bree's innocent nature compared to the other detestable/flawed girls from the meeting had me thinking I was reading a wikipedia page about an anime character's bio. It really got me hype lol.

 

Your deduction on Cecilia's kind treatment of the tinies to fill in that empty hole she has was another clever character analysis on your part. You truky have a sharp mind, man. I'm honestly a bit intimidated. :')

As for Tiffany's and Thomas's relationship, I have a feeling you and the other reviewers have an idea of whats going to happen next and the same goes for Zeke's and Beverly's relationship.

 

Thank you again for yet another review and btw, which Asuka from which anime were you referring to?

By the way, is Gwen's birthday party going to be the next major event in this story? Or at least one of next ones? I REALLY hope so! 

 

Also, sorry for forgetting to post this in my other review! lol

Great chapter! I love how every major character got a bit of screentime here! My favorite of course was Cecilia's time but not just because of her but also because we were introduced to another character who I hope gets more screentime! Scarlet is another character I enjoy, she's not violent but is sexy, and knows it, and is obviously horny since she's looking for a mate. I dig how confortable she is with her body and how little shame she has, I don't think any giantess so far has been THIS flashy if you get me. I also like how casually playful she is, and of course: dat southern accent! It's obvious she's not evil and just wants a tiny mate, I actually think Cecilia was abit harsh considering she wasn't really hurting anyone but she got a cool million out of it! Also how loaded is this rich girl to just pay someone off like that!?

Anyway, as for the rest of Lia's story I'm not surprised to see that a tiny hates her, in fact I'm surprised it's only ONE person! Honestly I can't blame him if what happened to him really happened. Also lemme gush abit about Cecilia real quick...She's a keeper! She's super gentle, loving and caring but theres also that diva "princess" side of her that loves the attention and popularity. She's like a celebrity and I can tell she enjoys every second of it! I like how adorable she is when she was playing with the kids and how stubborn she is in her quest to have all the tinies become her adoring fans, no matter how jaded they are. She reminds me of those "rich blonde" archetypes in that they care more about animals than humans, sort of how she's super nice to tinies but is a stuck up snob to most giantesses. P.S.Abraham I'm rooting for you! Cecilia deserves her own tiny man!

The bit with Tiffany trying to figure out what was wrong with her friends and lifting Thomas with her feet was pretty cute. I like how tsundere Thomas was about liking Tiffany's feet, obviously he's ashamed of it since she's underage but we don't really know how the dynamics of age work in this world for the giants. Of course it's gonna be different for giantesses since they are so much stronger and bigger than a normal tiny sized kid, but at the same time being kids, they CAN be more easily manipulated by someone older even if that person is a tiny. We see it in this VERY chapter with Thomas talking her into going to the meeting when she obviously doesn't want to go. Not something that can be so easily done with an adult altho to be fair Zeke did also manage to talk Bev into going as well so maybe not...

As for Blaire, how did I know she was gonna be a mega lesbian? Lol. She definitely fits the "dyke" archetype. Her bit was pretty sexy, Bree had her cute moment too, I hope the mom tells everyone what Bree did so maybe the tinies can warm up to her. As for Beverly I'm not surprised she killed the tinies she had, I wish it wasn't off camera but oh well. I don't really see her changing honestly, Tiffany was also violent but she's still a kid and more maleable. And again, I'm not sure Tiff is really as "reformed" as she lets on, I really think she'd go right back to killing tinies like it was nothing if Thomas left her. Sorry for writting so much but the chapter had alot to cover. To recap my top thoughts: Cecilia's part was my favorite I hope she gets her own tiny man and I hope we get more Scarlet sexyness.

Author's Response:

First of, geeman. Whoa! Thank you for the long review! I kept on reading the whole thing smiling over and over again. I figured showing a bit of the other girls after the meeting would sell big time. What I didn't expect was Scarlett having a fan. lol I see you can appreciate a giantess who isn't too violent or forceful yet still possesses an amorous swag to her when interacting with tinies. Scarlett's southern accent gave her a nice flare to her character if you ask me. I have to agree with you, I like Cecilia a lot, too. She's definitely a very interesting character to have so much money and size over beings so small yet that doesn't stop her from loving them dearly. Her sophisticated speech and ignorance to certain lingo makes her all the more intriguing. I'll admit, her scene was the most fun to write about lol. I plan on showing were Cecilia's money come from but yeah, she's DEFINITELY loaded! Her snobbiness to other giantess gives her some spice which shows she has two sides to her personality. You have excellent taste in characters! Celebrity is a good word to describe Cecilia lol I didnt even see it like that!

Your right about Thomas being uncomfortable about Tiffany given her age. Personally, I don't know how I feel if I was in Thomas's place. While I have NO attraction to little girls, giantess little girls or giantess loli are a different matter... Anyways,  like you said, it's easier for a giantess kid to be manipulated alright but I wouldn't nessessarily compare it to what Zeke did to Beverly. She's just blinded by her love for him, guess. :/ 

Bree's cute scene was a way to give the sweet girl a break from all the tinies that usually run from her and as for Blair, yeah, the lesbian bit does suite her doesn't it? I'm with you there with Tiffany not completely being reformed without Thomas's presence but hey, who know's? Not even I could tell lol We'll just have to wait and see. Ty for the amazing review and please, no need to apologize for it. ;)
