I really like the Giants' behavior here. They keep POWs as pets, and seem to see smaller races as inferior beings....but later willingly set their humans free, and seem to have treated them well.  Heck, Catherine offers to let Samuel go. They don't even conquer the human kingdom. 

That's really a unique portrayal of Giants you don't see often. 

A sequel oneshot/short story with these two would be a treat. I like this world we had a brief look into. 

Holy fuck this was easily one of the best things I've read here, thank you so much for writing it!

Just a idea how about a giantess genie story 

One of the best chapters that I have read, not just for this story, but for this entire website. 

The realistic behaviors of the characters, the playfulness of Brooke, and the guy’s desperation which led him to be shrunk and vulnerable. 

I wouldn’t mind just watching Brooke capture guy to guy each chapter because the way she lures them in is so fun to watch! 

Also, that comment she made about keeping him as her panty pet forever is one of the sexiest lines I’ve read in a while. My goodness, I would’ve volunteered on the spot. 

Great chapter and I can’t wait for more! 

Omg, how could I forget to mention this story in my last review? I mean, do you see what you did here? I never saw that concept around here (someone who shrinks another one by deep contact with their sweat and the shrinking also is continuous when the contact is continuous, wearing off completely after about two days).This can lead to a multitude of scenarios and I'm enjoying a lot of these in my mind hahaha!

Really girl, loved it by its concept and because it wasn't only teasing (lot's of teasing, by the way), but it was also funny. Again, I'm indulging on my imagination to think about many possibilities, do you plan on writing more on this universe? I can give you some ideas if you want...

*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.

This collection is, like your other stories, perfect and awesome. The story I liked the most was "Saved from a Evil Giantess" (and the most nonsense, in the Gentle area, was "Trimming the bikini line" XD). 

Still, I'm rating your story only 5 bc growing day was really efficient in its task of ruining my day. Never I read something who made me feel so low :(. Nothing against your style, this story is yours and you deserve to be praised for your work but I must be honest with my feelings, I hate to lie and I won't lie to you. I think honesty is the best way of reviewing a story. 

I use as example the comment below mine, where the member says that this is the most gentle story of the collection (just to end the review saying that the story isn't gentle and suggesting another ending, saying that the kidnap was rather cruel, and I do agree with him/her: it was great of him/her to try to cheer you up but in the end the reviews seemed fake and even dishonest. Still, he/she is a good friend and you should praise him/her because of his/her attempt. He/she is trying to cheer you up, good friends are for this, aren't them

Contrary to Beth, who was just a bitch toward the friend she said she loved. No one in a good mind would like to have a 'friend' like Beth! 

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.)

And sorry for such low starred reviews Greenanon, I did read some of your other stories and dude, you're great, but with that "Growing day", you just... phew, better not say it. I was resisting the urge to review this story for some days but sorry I couldn't resist anymore.


Author's Response: Well, I'd like to hear your thoughts on some of the other stories in the collection, that said yeah Growing Day should have probably just been tossed in it's own post or collection. Not sure what else to say about it at this point.

The scientists in this story must totally go back into studying this growth gene, because it not only makes some woman grow but also make they turn sociopath instantly. Trudy was a normal woman and now can't care less about humanity, probably like all the other giantesses. Including Beth, who grew and the first thing she did was kidnap her friend ("more or less kidnaps" DOESN'T FUCK EXIST!) and then look disdainfully at the people around her, calling them "normals" in way that couldn't be more mean. Really, maybe the growth gene has a lot to do with the psychopathic/sociopathic behavior. Discovering how to block it can heal all the psychopaths/sociopaths in the world, beginning with the giantesses.

By the way, considering the way this story describes growth, it's easy to see that, despite being immune to 9mm bullets, giantesses are still very fragile against bigger guns like M1 Abrams or a missile fired by a f16 or something, that can hit and kill them way before the target giantess can be able to harm them. And, considering that the giantesses are pretty pretty rare in this story, most countries in the world have, alone, more than enough of those guns to bring those giantesses to extinction (or they can surrender and start to respect humanity). So the governments not wanting to piss off the giantesses because they are big is a kiddish, nonsensical, and invalid explanation that doesn't fit the creativity you showed in your other stories.
