A wise decision, Pres. Bauchmann. A wise man once said: "True strength lies not in ease of killing. It lies with knowing when NOT to kill!"
Author's Response:
I'm sure a cool alternate ending would be the decision to outright try and fight her lmao.

I think I underestimated Jisoo's power level given what she's doing in this chapter. Also, while this is climactic, it also feels anti-climactic given that the plot has been essentially resolved. Part of me was hoping the Amrita Corporation would execute Operation Deliverance early and while Jisoo would defeat her family, it would be a pyrrhic victory as the mass shrinking causes more damage than even the Amrita Corp. anticipated and they get wrecked by Jisoo and everyone has to try to salvage what they can. But that's just my fondness for twists and bittersweet endings.
I was not expecting Jisoo to go full giant like she did here but it certainly does work since it can't be covered up. Her newfound power is way greater than I expected but given the title of the chapter I suppose it says something about her ancestry. There will be plenty for Jisoo and her sister to do even after this and some tearful reunions I hope. And Satsuki, you little schemer. That smells like a sequel with what she's cooking up.
Author's Response: That would be a great ending too in my personal opinion! There's still one more big 'thing' remaining in the story that has to do with Satsuki which I've had building up in some of her scenes before now, and the next few chapters focus on both how Jisoo doing all of this unknowingly works in Satsuki's favor. We've got a few more twists before this one is over but the finale is within sight for Deliverance, as crazy as it is to say.

"Plots within plans," eh?
Satsuki, you vixen! What are you up to, now?
Author's Response:
Satsuki has been the most sus person this entire story and now that the main antagonist of the past arc is dethroned, it's time to see what she's been cooking up since she was introduced! This is a very different part of the plot which really does change the narrative focus and has a lot to do with the history of the Fang Sisters, how they got all their power, and of course, how accurate your theories were about the Japanese/Chinese internal schism within the Amrita Corporation.

I remember an old sci-fi story about a computer that went renegade after developing artificial sentience. And a certain much-older saying (erroneously paraphrased by the computer, early on) would seem to be highly appropriate, here.
"Proudness precedes a precipitous plunge."

Grace had this coming for a veeery long time. Kinda surreal though to see this once seemingly invincible woman be reduced to the very thing she's preyed on since her introduction. In her eyes, and even to her supposed family, she'd now be seen as even less than human. The very same humans they've mocked for so long.
Grace was given a punishment far worse than being killed, she was humbled. A false got cast down. What a wonderful wake-up call, not just for her but for the rest of the corporation. Oh, they'll be shaking in their boots now.
A wonderfully cathartic chapter.
Author's Response:
We will definitely get to Grace's mental state a bit later, after a few more events cement her new place in the social hierarchy that she considered herself the apex of! As Jisoo stated this is a fate worse than death for Grace, since to her power is everything and she considers it worse to be 'broken' rather than dead. Hence her earlier actions in the story where she was obsessed with proving she could 'break' people like Thomas and Alice.
And she's had this one coming pretty much since her introduction I think! It'll be exciting to get back to how her arc concludes in a few chapters.

We're not dealing with the average Fang warrior anymore. That's right, Jisoo has risen beyond the limits of the Fang bloodline, and into the realm of legend. The legend that Amita fears. The legend, known throughout the entire world, as the most powerful warrior to ever exist. She, Jisoo, has become the legendary Super Fang ... blah blah blah blah blah you get it. Then she slays the Jabbawocky and saves Narnia.
But enough about me, I'm just jealous of her Super Fang Swagger.
The scene where Eren is ... uh ... appreciating Jisoo's muscly form looming over the landscape (paying special attention to the thighs, abs and tracts of land), while he's a speck of sand to her, uh ... activates the neurons. Just for that, I'm punching in another five stars.
Author's Response:
It's fitting too because Jisoo's eyes glow gold just like a super saiyan's hair lol. Back in early planning of the story I contemplated having her hair turn gold whenever she grows but changed my mind since it seemed too on the nose and corny. Still might have it change colors to white, but that's not too much of a priority atm.
And thank you very much! I'm happy Jisoo's newfound abilities have only increased her appeal.

Even after everything she's done, I can't help but pity Grace. She lacked what Jisoo had, and that's a drive to become a better person. Grace knows that she's a monster. She can lie as much as she wants, disguise the truth in any way she sees it, and even deny it to her last breath. But she knows that she is one. Whether she lives or dies it'll come about because of her actions. So, I pity her. That said I cannot resist saying this.
Grace
Get, and I cannot stress this enough, FUCKED
Author's Response:
Grace this entire time has deep down resented Jisoo because she was living proof that even a monster can change if they have the heart for it, but Grace due to a combination of her upbringing and personal moral failures could never cross the boundary to the 'light side' and sought to drag Jisoo down with her if that's what it took. It was important to make sure she was not so despicable throughout the story that she was hated completely by the reader, but also enough of a villain that her downfall was satisfying.
Thank you for the kind words!

I almost (repeat: ALMOST) feel sorry for Grace. Poetic justice is always harsh...but appropriate.
Author's Response:
It was important for Grace to not feel like a completely one dimensional, evil person throughout the story while not making her so redeemable that her downfall would not be cathartic. I'm sure she has her fair share of fans since early on she was a source of the best erotic content and harsh justice on some other characters, but as time went on I believe she's proven herself as someone who cannot really be redeemed and this was the best course of action Jisoo could have taken while not compromising her newfound appreciation for human life.
Thank you for the review as always!

You're using my story suggestion. Thank you! I feel so honored. As to this, new plot development? Suitably mysterious! I'm now off to chapter 53.

From the very second I saw the suggestion I knew it had to be done, it was too perfect of a chapter title to pass up!

Really love this chapter! I was at the edge of my seat throughout its entirety. It made me really love who Jisoo as a character has become. Seeing Grace at her most savage makes me really excited for the next installment with recent developments and all.
Author's Response:
Jisoo's development has been really fun and satisfying as an author, she's my favorite character of the story and I am thrilled others have come to appreciate what sort of person she is after her character development arcs over the past year.
This chapter has been one I have looked forward to the most since the beginning of this story and it was amazing to finally have it published, thank you for the feedback!

Ohhhhh Grace is gonna get it! I don't mind her getting eaten, but why not have Grace shove her up her enormous butt instead?
Author's Response:
Considering her newfound abilities which have opened up an entire new genre of giantess interaction, look forward to all manner of fun shenanigans Jisoo will get up to now that she is an actual giantess!

Fall from Grace indeed. This story is intensifying and I love it! The fact that Grace is hearing her inner conscience is a good sign but it seems a bit late for her at this point. And good on Maeve and Eren for breaking the brainwashing. You'd better keep them safe this time Jisoo!
I can feel we're headed to big events in the story now. Jisoo and Grace confrontation, Maddie and Ruiwen on their way, Operation Deliverance happening soon, the Amrita branches doing their own plots, I can't wait!
Author's Response:
At the end of a slow burn there should always be a cathartic explosion that makes the build-up even more worth it, and things are going to get really intense in the next few chapters! It's a lot of things happening all at once but fortunately things will become a bit more streamlined for the primary characters for the remainder of the story, with less jumping around between different pov's.
I'm happy you enjoyed it!

Off to a good start! Watching Grace cry made me really very happy. She's so despicable that I can't even feel a micro ounce of pity for her. Really hoping to see her in further agony as her "girlfriend" awakens. Godspeed.

Whoa! Ruiwen is going to beard the bloodthirsty she-fox in her own den?* Methinks that magic peach cocktail has stiffened some of her backbone.
*Poetry not intended.
Author's Response: Great observation! Whenever someone consumes a Peach of Immortality, they experience a massive surge in power and that includes their confidence, hence why Maddie was so willing to lambast Ren. Now Ren is experiencing the same thing, and might not be thinking with her noggin as much as her heart. Let's see how that works out for her.

The best plans are always the most ludicrous, as Maddie clearly saw for herself. Now she got a taste of what the other women of the corporation possess, and boy did she benefit from it.
I do wonder though how this is going to affect Ren in the coming future. She knows she's in a very tough spot. A clear rock and a hard place situation. The rock of course being Jisoo and the hard place being...the rest of the corporation. Eager to see just what's going to happen when everyone discovers the situation with Eren.
Carnage is coming. And a whole lot of it.
Author's Response:
Ren struggling between her newfound guilt and care for Maddie is at conflict between her family, which as we've seen doesn't treat her very well because she's just a low ranked member. Whether or not her decision to listen to her consciousness comes back to bite her later we'll have to see!
