This is a doorstopper, that's for sure. I had to keep turning the page. Your story is very dynamic. At first, I thought it was some fun muscly murder-wife snuff and smut. Then, it turned into a giant conspiracy of another set of people who get drunk off of power. And that's the great irony you've masterfully set-up, the Amita's aren't any different than the human's they've condemned.

I admit that I felt Eren's character was a bit flat at first, he came across as a mere object for Jisoo's desires. It's late in the story that he fully develops as a character, and serves as a catalyst for Jisoo's change. He doesn't appear as murderous as that other Eren.

It's quite a tragic tale, particularly for Thomas, who was the character I was rooting for the most. He was resourceful, compassionate and reasonable. He was David facing off against Goliath, and it was sobering to see our David get crushed. It's necessary for the story, like Eddard Stark in GoT, but you just had to root for the man for his happy ending. Props on you for that, even though his sister was the punching bag for the first chapter.

This is a review in general for the story so far.

Despite this site being called "Giantess World", to my surprise, I don't actually see any straight up romps through the city. People either like to portray shrinking, or add so much complexity in the premise so as to appear unique. This is all well and good, but sometimes, simplicity is best, and this simple premise of a 1000+ foot giantess rampaging through town is quite welcome.

You portray Jessica's action with rather precise detail, and have a good sense to switch the perspective just so we can experience the overwhelming power at hand. My particular favorite moment was when she destroyed a structure by flexing her biceps and forearms. Each action was deliberately described in a methodical matter, and really emphasized what an absolute leviathan Jessica is.

My critiques are as follows. While I appreciate the level of detail you put in, the reading came across as rather mechanical. I'm not sure precisely why this is, I can't offer a specific example (and thus, this isn't helpful criticism). That being said, that made some passages a chore to read, even as exciting action was happening on page.

In addition, I do think you ought to break up paragraphs a bit more. You do well when you switch perspective, but when moving to a different detail, I think it'll make it easier to follow if you simply start a new paragraph instead of giving the reader a wall of text to digest. This is doubly true with dialogue, don't bury it in the middle of the paragraph, lend it a paragraph of its own.

Over all this, and your couples story are quite enjoyable reads for some gigantic fun. I do believe your efforts should have netted you more reviews, but for some reason, I think people just stayed their keyboards. But, no matter, looking out for what you have planned next.

I rather like the direction this story is going. I don't know if this has been done before, but a sort of civilization destroyer becoming conflicted because her lover has a strong moral compass is a pretty unique relationship. Honestly, in many ways, I find it quite endearing. It's the logical conclusion of a gentle giantess situation, that such a powerful being is willing to stay their hand just because of affection. Diabeetus-inducing stuff.

While you portrayed Arios as a planet that was somewhat due for a dusting, Lena appears to appreciate the subtly and necessity of the doomed specie's attitude. They're not just "greedy, bad" just for being "greedy, bad", their inclinations were natural, perhaps even bestowed upon them by evolution. Their aggression, just like the goddesses apocalyptic duties, is in their very nature. It's a nuanced take that you don't usually see in giantess stories that tend to go full-on misanthrope.

The writing has also improved. You've established a pretty good character voice, and it is easy to follow and picture what is happening. Interested to see what the compromise/agreement will be between Lena and Blyke. Good luck pulling it off, dynamic characters are fun things to read.

Dang, this is one of the best gentle stories I've read on this site. You've got a nice balance between character and giantess interaction. Ash is a tad overwhelming, but it works rather nicely in this context. Jake is by far one of the more compelling tiny/shrunken characters, and it made his exchanges with Kacey rather spectacular.

You're particular talent is fleshing out the tiny guy in each of your tales, from Impossible Bo- I mean Man, to Jake, and to Jim (lot's of J's eh?). Jim I would say is the blue-collar version of Jake. Or Jake is the white-collar version of Jim. It's still a fun archetype you've fleshed out, of the self-assured tiny, and it makes what's happening all around him all the more clever.

The Aelmari are very intriguing. At first, I thought their involvement was an unwelcome twist, since you've set up the catgirl invasion first and it was done all too quickly. But, seeing them develop, dare I say, some humanity, is an incredible caveat you've introduced.

My gripe is subjective, and thus, perhaps nothing significant to consider, but I tend to shy away from haram-like stories. Emotions tend to get scattered, and love polygons can get real messy. But once more, that's a stylistic preference, it's like me complaining that there are too many feet scenes in a Sheograth story. You get what you pay for.

Wow, that's-a spicy-a meatball! Rereading this, I really do appreciate how you describe the musculature of Maxine. Too many people like to say "toned, muscular" and leave it at that when happening upon a brick-house lady. You like to paint a picture, with just enough repetition to remind us of what an Abs-solute Unit Maxine is.

I spy, with my Anglo eyes, "gusta", which means were dealing with someone with heritage stemming from the Iberian peninsula.

Vivian, cheering on Emil's jealous disposition, was one of the most genuinely adorable things I've seen. Emil, getting, "payback" was one of the most genuinely endearing things Vivian did for him. Another fuzzy chapter all around.

Now, to review the best and most gentle story in the collection.

You did a pretty nice job establishing camaraderie and banter between your four characters in the beginning. Jane in particular seemed a handful. The relationship between Mark and Beth is quite genuine.

Your transition to Beth kidnapping her friends was masterfully done. From the beginning, you plant the seed, the tendency, for her to essentially impose her will on her friends if she believes it is best. When Trudy plants the idea in Beth's mind, you sort of know which direction the story is going to go.

I did think the tale would have benefitted if Beth did try to kidnap, but upon reflection, she lets her friends go, getting introspective of how her newfound power brought out the worst in her. It's a very effective story at showcasing this, even moreso than some of the real mean-spirited cruel ones where the character acts domineering out of the blue. Here, you show us Beth's mind at work and her justification, through her action and interaction.

The only problem is that this wouldn't be a gentle story, because of the forceful, rather malicious kidnapping. But in my mind, it's a nitpick, a nitpick that's not worth writing five paragraphs of baseless salty whining and giving a half-star review, just because one chapter wasn't properly labeled. Not because of trashy writing, not because of edgy topics, but because of some logistical errors. Glad that doesn't happen around here.

(Alright fine, this was my least favorite story because it wasn't particularly gentle, just not my cup of tea. But it was well-written, as is your standard, so I have to give it props. So you were in a rush, that's fine, no big deal. One sour lemon doesn't ruin the entire bunch, in fact, it enhances its flavor.)

This appears to be a very promising tale. The setup was quick, but sufficient. You are playing to my preferences (giantess athletes), so my anticipation is based on that. I am wondering if Derek is going to be passed around like a piece of yarn, or if he's in for the long haul with someone (possibly Niyah).

If there's one possible criticism, I don't have any idea of the appearances of Stephanie, Niyah or Derek. I don't know if that's intentional, so the reader could fill in the blanks, or if you're saving that for later, but I do believe it would be more engaging to at least work that in. Don't be mechanical or explicit (as some tend to do), but at least give us an implication of what we're working with.

Your story suffers from one major flaw. More, I need more. Had you not made this story the apex of gentle-smothering-spoiling-tiny perfection, your story would not have this flaw.

The writing is the strongest aspect, of a story with countess strengths. You both delve into detailed description, regarding appearances, actions and emotions, and tie it together with a finesse that is almost unseen either in this site, or many others. I venture to say professionally published works grow green with envy at the polish you've displayed. Honestly, I do have to favorite this story, if only for the sole purpose to have a reference in which to improve my own writing.

Love triangles are terrible, and destroy a story. It is a testament to your characterizations and sense of good taste that this apparent love triangle makes the story instead of breaks it. When I saw that there was going to be another giantess, I inwardly groaned. Naomi won me over, just as much as with Amy (though that slightly does have to do with the fact that Naomi's apparently a muscly girl ... I'll leave it at that). You've nailed the genki girl character with gusto. Amy's more stoic attitude is also quite likable, and becomes even more so when contrasted with the bubbly Naomi.

I echo Mr. Pendragon in that I do hope this story gets a sequel/expansion. Whatever you had set out to do, you've accomplished, and then some.
