I'm happy that in the end he ended up enjoying the new life, it was TOTALLY better than "Growing Day", for fucking sure! They criticized Christie for stepping on him but... well, *holding my hands up* I'm guilty, I loved it! You just hit the point with me, dude!

And I enjoyed the ending when he got the three to stay with him. The beginning was a bit cruel as he was unwillingly taken away from his life perspectives (again, it was nothing so utterly cruel and socially sadistic like "Growing Day"), but the cruelty was very light and the rest of the story TOTALLY made it worth! I wish I was on his place, I'd have resisted far less than him! The only part I didn't like is being called 'something just a little more than a pet'. It's a bit too dehumanizing for my taste and I think that a speech which transmits that idea doesn't exactly fit a gentle story, but considering your other stories (I've read other stories from you on the last days), maybe you're into that "dehumanization" thing. Still, nothing so dehumanizing as "Growing Day" was.

I wish I could give you ten or even twenty stars instead of five but the site only let me give you five stars. I love the girls of this story!

So the giantesses gather in a group of people that believes that they are superior to other humans because of a physical characteristic and thus they can do almost whatever they want to humans who aren't like them, all that with government connivance? Dude, in real life we already have a group that thinks like that, but who are them again? Oh yeah: the Nazis. Is this story a commission for Adolph Hitler or something?

*Phew...*

OK, I hope I'm nicer this time in my opinion to everyone, mainly to Greenanon. Really.

Didn't saw the answers to my reviews until now (GiantessWorld didn't sent mails alerting that there were replies) and I think it's good of me to give my face to be slapped, if it's what I need to do. Still, I still guess I'm right and I'll show my reasons to defend my POV, as I'll now answer both Divediveburners and Greenanon. Still, I'm not trying to offend anyone, and if my reviews made me seem like an offender, I'm sorry. I never attacked Greenanon, or his personal values, or his writing ability and talent... I just wrote against Growing Day. I thought it was clear, but... ok, let's begin.

To begin: Divediveburners, your review, despite trying to show some profundity, is tbh contradictory and maybe even a little shallow. First you say that Growing Day is the best story of the collection. Then you say it's your least favorite. Then you say that this story is the most gentle story in the collection. And after you say that it wasn't particularly gentle and even say that it wouldn't be a gentle story. I'm not trying to offend you but you need to ponder it yourself: even a ten-years old can see how contradictory you're being and how valueless your review ends up being because of that. You're trying to protec your friend, it's noble of your part, I give you that. But if you really want to do him a favor, being truthful in your review is the best and only start you should do. Anything out of it doesn't do, sorry.

Also, what you talk about the characters isn't true too. Despite Beth's friends having a good time and relationship with her, she's not a good friend to them and the story showed many times, in many details, how she didn't reciprocated to her friends, despite seemingly nice: she didn't care about their opinion, being selfish and always planning everything on her own, without a care in the world for what her friends felt. She preferred to listen to Trudy, who was a total stranger for her (and an arrogant giantess too) than trust her long-time friends, the same guys she called 'family'. If you think that this is being 'genuine' (at least about her boyfriend), as you wrote, then man, you really need to reconsider your values too. No offenses, seriously.

The main problem of your review: you really seem like you didn't read the story with enough attention. Calling the complaints about the meanness of Growing Day 'baseless'? Man, you really did read the complaints? They dissected the details that made the story far from gentle. They showed how Beth and all the giantesses were just mean to humans and how Beth selfishly, sheerly ruined her friends' life FOREVER AND EVER. And how most giantesses in this story are blatantly doing the same. Again, no offenses: just do your homework and read the complaints again, then read the story and, if you can, show us in honest details why you do think they're 'baseless'. Even Greenanon recognizes the exactitude of the complaints.

Yeah, I may have been too nitpicky, you're right in that, but are the details who give soul to the story and the details of Growing day give it a very mean soul. It's not just about the story being mislabeled. Let me illustrate for you: if you're an astronaut and must go to the Moon, what would you use? A rocket or a bike? No matter how good and perfectly built is the bike, it will NEVER take you to the moon. This is what happened with Growing Day: Greenanon was fantastic in his writing abilities in this story, even I recognized that (and you failed to see it, it seems), but this story was just leaving a noticeable trail of sorrowfulness and anger instead of warm gentleness, what was expected from the collection prompt. Most readers, mainly the gentler ones, must get mentally ready for a mean story and Growing Day was being sold as a gentle story, with no pre-warnings, nothing. So most people were hit disarmed. Thus the strong reaction: what goes around, comes around. Is that too hard to understand? It wasn't one sour lemon, it was one poisoned lemon. Would you drink a lemonade made with a poisoned lemon?

Still, the idea you gave to a nicer ending is really good and would save the story from the bad taste it has. It's a really good idea, I must be honest and give you that too. Very good!

And now, to finish, Greenanon: I recognize I may have been too harsh in my words. It was my reaction, but I'd NEVER attack you because of your person. I'd NEVER attack you because of your writings. I'd NEVER attack you because of your style. My only attack was against Growing Day, against the arrogant giantesses and the selfish, falsely nice, betrayer Beth. It doesn't mean, as I wrote now and before, that you're not a good writer. As they said, your stories are better than 90% of the stories in this site and I agree with them. But Growing Day made me so angry against Beth and the giantesses, and I felt so impotent as I couldn't change the ending of the story, that my only way of dealing with it was expressing how it was far from gentle and detailing why. I just HAD to express it and, considering that the current description of Growing Day still doesn't show how mean it is, I think that someday someone else will complain too, someone who had thought that it is just a slightly mean story, when it shows Beth literally violating her friends in many psychological levels. Someone that may think that she more or less kidnaps them, when she actually kidnaps them in a very qualified and mean way. But whatever, I already said it all before.

Still, I think I need to apologize you for what I wrote before. I'm not saying that I'll disagree with or regret what I wrote before. I can assure you: I will EVER hate Beth, thus I'm again giving a half star, as I'm talking about the story about her. What I'm saying is that, if my opinion offended you in any way, I'm really sorry. This was far from my intentions. About more complaints from my part, I may or may not reply to reviewers who talk about my words (they can send me an e-mail too if they want), but for you, I'm showing you my white flag. I want no war against you. I never wanted.
