I had started reading this story at the same time you published it in 2022, but since I use deviantart more than this page, my account was already starting to have cobwebs haha. The good thing is that I'm already up to date with the chapters, in fact I only remembered Kristen and her daughter so I love the amount of characters you added
Maybe I missed something but wasn't Kristen originally blonde in the photos you uploaded? Because now both versions - young and current - are brunettes, anyway for me that's better since I find dark/brown hair more attractive than blonde : )
You've already been told in other reviews how the giantess being "exotic" increases the excitement and I completely agree. It also gives good arguments to those who think of joining the rebels: we know from history how "foreign enemies" have served to unite different people under a common goal, it would not be the entirety of Ostrov since humans never act as a single block, I suppose that the rebels would see these people as "traitors".
And the logic of the "foreign enemy" also applies to Ginny, although in this case she is more playing than fighting a real war (she would finish them in seconds)
By the way, have you thought about doing a "what if" of this series in the future? For example, a global power from the world of Ostrov realized what happened and considers Kristen's universe as an existential threat so they decide to attack first: now they are the ones who have made cities/countries disappear.
I don't know if your audience would like it to be Kristen's nation that was stolen, we have become too fond of her (?) for her to end up as a microbe in an alternative history. It would be better to create a new character.
And do fetishes exist in the world Ostrov comes from? I suppose so, so by statistics perhaps there are people with our same fetish of giantess.
For them it would be doubly humiliating since they always imagined themselves as powerful people and now they must live a new reality being microscopic slaves of a "true giantess"
"frustrated giantess" are something uncommon in stories and it is a shame, since it adds complexity to the characters.

I wasn't expecting the scent aspects, but I was really impressed by how you pulled it off. I was happy to see how Kristen could interact with any Nano through her phone. It's crazy thinking about what possibilities there are now that Kristen and her friends can now see what the nano's can see and how that might affect the way they interact and experience. Great job!

I hardly ever leave comments or reviews but I just gotta say I am absolutely loving the direction I feel this is heading. I adore forced tiny/giant relationships like the one being set up. It reminds me of one of my all time favorites 'Cities in the Cellar' which I don't even feel like was fleshed out as much as I'd like but was still amazing. Keep up the great work. This has quickly become my favorite ongoing story here. Thanks.
Author's Response:
Thank you for taking the time to make the review and I encourage you to leave more! Thank you for the kind words. Cities in the Cellar was one of my favorite stories of all time and was one of the stories that motivated me to write myself. Thank you, and I hope you keep reading.

Yep, this was definitely a long chapter, and those are the best ones in my opinion! I understand its a lot of work but its definitely appreciated, not just by me but also from the other reviews I see. But don't feel like you need to hurry or anything. Just go at whatever pace works best for you.
I wanted to see in the Table of Contents just exactly how long this chapter was exactly in comparison to the others, because it shows a word count there, but for some reason this chapter is glitched out... at least for me. But yep I can tell it is very long.
So there's only about 20 or so cities in the micro room? Well, one less now thanks to Janelle's sweaty sock. :) Its good that Kristen and Ginny are starting to realize the tiny people are a finite resource and they can't be too destructive if they want to keep this going over the long term. That's the downside of bringing more people into the secret, because it means more destruction. And also not the greatest idea to give a new inductee cart blanche to do something destructive like that, because clearly some people will go overboard with it. I know the city wasn't being used for anything, but there's always some potential new use idea that could come up. Like, Kristen could use them in her experiments or something. I dunno.
Personality wise, Janelle kinda seems similar to Leslie in that over the top destructiveness. Part of me kinda hoped Leslie would return at some point, but I guess Janelle kinda feels that same sort of niche. Also, Leslie seemed more indifferent to them than anything. Janelle enjoys destroying them, but Leslie just did it to get them out of the way. Its not entirely the same thing.
Anyway, I guess Janelle kinda had a point about that city being crime-ridden and mostly no good. As a cop, I guess it gives her a good understanding of that sort of thing. I kinda want to say that she had the right sort of attitude for dealing with the rebels in Ostrov a few chapters back, but at her size it would have been massively overkill. Parker was able to handle it with much more finesse, so yeah.
As for the academy and the micros setting up a police force, I definitely think that Janelle being a cop herself should be involved in that. She could use her real world experience to give them advice and direct things. I dunno. Since Kristen and Ginny have their respective cities of dedicated worshipers, maybe the city with the police force could be the ones dedicated to Janelle or something? Kristen could have them answer to Janelle directly or something, and she could direct them on how to enforce law and order so that other cities don't end up like Climax did.
Another thing is that maybe she could take some of the Micro cops and use them herself in her own line of work or something? Micro cops could be useful in the big world to help solve big people crimes, and stuff like that. Janelle could send them in to eavesdrop or look for evidence or stuff like that in ways that a normal sized person wouldn't be able to or would need a warrant or something, but with their help Janelle could do things "off the books", so to speak.
Author's Response:
No beating around the bust with this long chapter indeed and yeah, it's a lot of work. Yeah there's a little over 20 cities, and I think Kristen is starting to understand how finite that rally is. We'll see how Kristen tries to adapt to that as she has gotten so used to using the tiny people to make herself feel better about herself and her life. Leslie could still pop in during a visit or something, there's still a lot of planned story left. Maybe they all don't get along, we'll see. Janelle having the point about the crime-ridden city is why it fit so well and I hope people will enjoy where that type of thinking and interaction goes, especially with the little police force.

Yeeeeeeeeeeesss Ass and odor chapter is what I have been waiting for let’s goooo!!!!! Didn’t expect Elliot and Kristen to be on a date can’t wait to see more interaction with them. Janelle was awesome in this chapter simply destroying a city and being calculated to which made it more interesting!!!
Ginny be herself was nice and now we have three goddess !!! Justyan was great too trying to calm and deal with Kristin deadly situations but stays strong and composed
overall 10/10 chapter - things I would personally like to see I’ll say now is probably vore and continue with the odor and smell stuff but I’ll leave to you and story wise I already want to see more of Elliot and maybe more Janelle so far again great chapter
Author's Response:
Hahaha yes, more of an odor chapter. Yeah, I didn't want to attach the emotion to Janelle in her decision, I wanted to set it up like her character would make sense given her past and ideologies with what she has seen in her life to do something like crush the least desirable city in the entire room and act like it was a favor. 10/10 chapter is a really nice compliment, thank you so much. I do want to add vore, I just need to make it make sense instead of forcing it, but I do have ideas in the coming chapters for some serious, crazy vore stuff.
Date: August 30 2024 4:39 AM Title: Chapter 28 - Above the Law
This is one of the most incredible chapters you've written, the interaction between the characters is fluid and credible regarding their motivations and personalities, honestly I expected Janelle to be a character that was introduced to balance the others of a gigantic nature since they are completely oriented to make both the micros and nanos suffer by unleashing their frustrations on them, she would be balanced, a voice of reason (I still think you should give her that more gentle and reasonable attribute with the people in the room) you run the risk that the motivations and personalities and their plots wear out, the male character Eliot, a great addition, will generate moral conflicts in Kristen, I hope for a more intimate and fluid interaction between them, some scene where she interacts with him on a video call in another place outside of the rooms so that she is sincere and explores her gentle side with him outside of the pressure and scrutiny that she is seen by both micros and nano people, the most with confidence to give herself courage by not interacting with her and getting scared of herself in a massive way, I hope you write That conversation, when Prince Anton finds out about Kristen's new favorite will be epic, consider the option that the little micros and nanos could interact with Janelle and Ginny in the same way as with Kristen through video calls and messages. The only bad thing I find is having to wait so long between chapters. Your story is incredible to read, it is very good.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much for this review. I was hoping people would at least like the fluidity of characters and there wasn't too much going on. Everyone gets their tropes met and the dynamic characters have internal struggles and thoughts. As far as Janelle being the balance, no, I have other characters that will come later to be the balance and this voice of reason. There will be gentle characters to fill that absence when I feel the time is right. Elliot will be fun to write because he is internally so afraid. Yeah, I do want to give Anton a conversation. He's been going mad in the background while Kristen basically ignores him because she thinks he's too weird. I know my biggest complaint is the waiting period but I really hope each delivery is worth it while I go through my own life and problems.

One, if not the best chapter so far. and that's mean a lot considering how good is you're work.
Author's Response: And that compliment means a lot! Thank you so much for that, it's really kind. I did put a lot of effort into this chapter and trying to balance story and action.

This story is incredible so far! So much to say about it but one thing I'm hoping to see is a perspective from one of the tiny cities having to deal with Rasha's feet while she is unaware of who they are.
Author's Response:
Yeah, Rasha is gonna come back pretty soon here, the next chapter actually. I have few fun things planned for her! Thank you for the compliment!
Date: August 20 2024 6:59 PM Title: Chapter 1 - The Suburban Mom
I wanted to do a spin off series with Janell. Is that ok? It would be for fun and not for money.
Author's Response:
I'm not sure how I feel about this quite yet. I would say wait until the end of the story so you can see what happens to her and how much she changes because Janelle might not turn out how you think she will, even given the latest chapter.
Date: August 08 2024 6:51 AM Title: Chapter 27 - The Friends We Keep
Well, this chapter didn't beat around the bush when it came to introducing Janelle to the tinies. lol But I think it almost definitely has to be this way, because realistically speaking it would take a LOT to convince someone that what they're looking at is an actual real shrunken city, and not just some art work or something, like Janelle had more reasonably assumed when she peaked into the window and observed the cities a few chapters back. You could tell anyone you know in real life that you've got shrunken cities/countries in your home and unless they're a bit crazy then no one would believe you or take you seriously even if you openly admitted to it. They would have to see it with their own eyes, and even then it would almost definitely take what happened in this chapter with a video feed of the tinies and a conversation with them in order to prove that its real.
For that same reason, Rasha probably would just dismiss it as some very intricate artwork just like Janelle did. Though I'm sure she has some questions about things like how that country lit up like it did, the way it felt when she stepped down on it, and stuff like that. And of course the strange bugs she had encountered and squished much earlier on. Its possibly something she could figure out on her own if she had enough time and unrestrained access to the rooms. It would probably result in a lot of death and destruction for the tinies, but she might be able to figure out even without Kristen's explanation through that sort of trial and error. Especially if she has her phone on hand or something and then Justyna (or whomever) contacts her out of desperation begging her to stop the carnage. That would definitely prove to her that this was a real shrunken country, and not just some "artwork". So its something she could figure out on her own through more snooping. BUT after having been caught doing that once and promising not to, it seems unlikely it would end up happening again. Kristen definitely wouldn't be able to forgive her if she breaks her trust a second time like that. I kinda would like to see things progress that way, but realistically speaking she'd probably never be allowed back over again. :)
Then again, there are other characters where this sort of "fully discovering and figuring it all out on their own" scenario could occur. For example, with Keysha or her daughters, or something. :) I noted in this chapter the part where you wrote that the guest bathroom is down the hall with those "creepy" locked rooms, so that certainly created the potential for that sort of discovering by one of the other characters. ;)
Speaking of Keysha, I also did note that she is one of the characters you have a placeholder for a link to an image of (even though there is no image link of her yet). So from that I assume you have some sort of plans for her. She had been named in the story for quite some time, but I don't recall (or perhaps I missed it) her being described as black and disliking cops (like Janelle). This is definitely something you could work with in regards to her interactions with the tinies down the road. Like, I dunno, Parker and Cameron for example and others like them are this sort of pseudo-police thing being set up, so if Keysha doesn't like cops, and she manages to get these cop-like micros into her hands, well, you know... :)
Or it could again be a situation similar to as how it is with Ginny where her appearance is exotic to the tinies and completely unknown on their world. Keysha for her part, might get a special thrill about being able to dominate or annihilate some completely white city in the micro room, or part of Ostrov or something? Something to consider, perhaps.
As for this chapter, I was glad to finally see some exploration of Crest from the micro perspective. The cult-like devotion and Anton treating a piece of Kristen's toenail like some sort of holy relic is the sort of thing I was hoping to see, and hopefully there will be more. Also from the Nanos' perspective too.
Speaking of which, I liked the part when Kristen blew the dust off Ginny's dildo without a care about the implications that cloud of dust would have on the nano civilization below. :) It isn't all just purely dust though, I'm sure. A fair amount of it is no doubt Ginny's dried cum as well as whatever bodies and machines of the rebels that got adhered to it... a lot of that now raining down on the countryside below.
But most of it still suck to the dildo, leaving a nasty chore for the men of Vajazzle to now have to clean up since they lost the competition (thanks to Kristen stacking the odds against them). :) Ginny's months old dried cum will have to be broken off with jackhammers, and they also have to deal with the bodies of nanos and their vehicles embedded into it like Han Solo when he was frozen in Carbonite. As well as Ginny's butt sweat or whatever, making it a very nasty ordeal for the micros of Vajazzle which would make the shoe cleanings Braithe does seem like a walk in the park in comparison.
But hey, Ginny will get her dildo back completely clean and spotless, right? The "waste" stuff from that dildo cleaning might be of value to Ginny's worshipers, in the same way as the toe nail was to Anton.
On that note, I wonder what happened to Luka and the thousands of other Nanos that got plunged into Ginny's rectum. Since a lot of time has passed I'd assume they're probably dead but just in case they're not, some sort of follow-up on them would be awesome.
Author's Response:
Heya!
I honestly couldn't think of a better way to introduce Janelle, I didn't want it to take 5 chapters of her investigating and then figuring it out. I'm just like over that part of really drawing it out. I want to wirte more action before I have another time skip forward.
Rasha might turn out the same way, maybe a little different, I need to find the best way to insert her back into the story and make it make sense in a realistic way as much as possible because that satisfis my needs.
BUT, in the future as MAdelyn grows older, we'll have a new way to explore how poeple discover the secret.
Yes, I need to introduce Keysha in a reference photo because she might become more popular later in the story.
I understand the follow up to brief one-shot characters like Luke, some might make an apperance but I still want to give the audience their imagnation to work with as to the horros they probably experienced on their own. If that makes sense.

Things are really spicing up!!! I'm not even the biggest shoes/feet guy and I LOVED how you described her sneaker having above them all. I'm so excited for what Janelle can bring to the story! Just curious, what are the ages of the ladies at the pool party, maybe you've said before but I'm curious who amung them are the oldest?
You know, it might be fun to have some "Alternate Universe" stories where Kristen dreams of some of those more unlikely characters interacting with their own civs, like a chapter just fully fleshing out if Suzy had the micros/nanos
I hope you're having fun writing this story, I just wanna tell you, the main reason I check this site is to see if you've updated <3

Janelle has become a super interesting character suddenly! I wonder what her opinion of the Nano's will be. Have you considered how they could transmit a live feed?
Author's Response: Janelle will be fun to write, yeah! and yeah, I want the nanos to have the same technology as the micros so they can also do live feeds.
Date: August 02 2024 2:01 PM Title: Chapter 27 - The Friends We Keep
Wow great chapter - Kristen finally letting someone know her secret was surprising especially with Janelle. Figured she be on the don’t really care for lost of micro lives sides and hopefully when and if she invites more people we get at least one person that really cares about the lives of the micro lives in the cities but is super clumsy and unknowingly kills them I think that would add a fun dynamic here. Parker and Cameron being in a religious cult city was interesting. And I hope we see Justyna again she probably my favorite tiny character close second are the two new leader that Kristen elected after killing the rest in that pool chapter I can’t remember their names but I definitely like them.
I’m very interested to see how this story develops from here and I think it would also be cool if we saw the home world(s) of the micro people trying to locate and find the cities in Kristen room or the other way around but I’ll wait and see.
now in terms of fetish and appeals for this chapter was pretty good but I do like a good info chapter plus the Kristen revealing her secret was good too so it was fine that there was a lack of action I’ll say for this chapter
I do hope to see a full on ass/butt/ butt odor/ anal vore and just butt action focused chapter !!!!….. yeah I like booty chapters (don’t judge me lol) but some vore, unaware, and hell maybe some tomboy action to.
overall great chapter and plot progression and reveal at the end can’t wait to see more!!
p.s is it a chapter per month? Not trying to rush or over work you I was just curious about when you would release a chapters thanks
Author's Response:
Thank you! Yeah, I do want at least a few people to care about micro lives, up to a point. Justyna is coming up again, we'll see how she's been doing. Samantha and Elliot in Servitus will have bigger roles to play at some point. As far as home worlds of people, I've thought about that, in a way, but it might come in a different way. Lack of action is fine at time, I get it, but I do want to add more in the next chapter. I like butt too, I just need it to make sense when the time is right.
A chapter per month is my current output, even thought I don't want it to be, it's honestly just when I have time in my crazy life, but ideally I get to settle down to one every few weeks instead.
Date: July 01 2024 5:13 PM Title: Chapter 26 - Heating Up
First off, I just want to point out that "dawning" is a word, but the word you are actually looking for when it comes to putting on clothing is "donning" which is pronounced the same but spelled differently. You might want to do a quick search and replace to fix that in this and some previous chapters. I noticed it before but it happened a number of times in this one so I thought I should point it out.
Now with that out of the way, I'll say it was interesting some of these unique manners of death for the tinies in this chapter which I don't recall ever seeing in a giantess story before (though possibly it has happened in some story I haven't read). The smashing of a district of the male city with Kristen's chewed gum, and the thousands of Ginny's volunteers being cooked in that plastic bag inside of Kristen's car. That latter one being not only a unique way to kill off a bunch of tinies, but also a very horrific, prolonged, and torturous way to die. I'm certain that none of them would have volunteered to get into that bag had they known the fate that awaited them.
I also feel bad for Ginny who was denied being able to enjoy her "tiny drugs" thanks to Kristen's poor handling of them. :( If only Kristen hadn't been in such a hurry, and if she had stopped there first, then everything would have been fine.
As for the thousands of men crushed by Kristen's gum, at least their deaths weren't quite so agonizing. But it is pretty shitty that their deaths were undeserved and caused by the female city making up lies about them. Hopefully the female city will not go unpunished, and Kristen won't go easy on them just because they're women.
Hey, here's an idea: why not kill two birds with one stone and have Kristen "volunteer" thousands of the women from Tiny Paris to be handed over to Ginny in order to replace the tinies that died in the heat of her car? This way, Ginny gets her "tiny drugs", and at the same time the women get punished for lying and causing those men to die without reason. And it definitely WOULD be a punishment for them, because unlike those volunteers they probably wouldn't enjoy the forced Lesbian interactions Ginny would put them through. But we, the readers, would. ;) Kristen could also inform Ginny of what these women had done and tell her that they are to be punished, to make extra sure that they are. But of course it is entirely up to you.
Author's Response:
Lol yeah, I went back and fixed it. I honestly just had no idea there was the proper word to use, but thank you.
I like trying to come up with more unique ideas for death that are somewhat in line with realism, I suppose? At least as realistic as I could come up with in a story I try to root in realism where accidents would happen all the time.
Yeah, I think were starting to see just the very beginnings of how just being separated into two cities split by one difference creates a different mentality, an "us versus them" way of thinking. I have some ideas for them, I don't want to give away any spoilers there.

Hey there! I've been reading your story and I'm absolutely loving it. It's really well written and everything makes sense. I had this idea to turn it into a 3D comic. If that sounds good to you, let me know!
Author's Response:
Glad you've been loving it!
Date: May 19 2024 4:32 PM Title: Chapter 25 - Inclines
Another great chapter! I'm glad it came much quicker than the wait the last one took, but take however much time is necessary and convenient for you with your schedule.
I don't know how much this matters to anyone else, but I really do appreciate the lore and details about Ostrov which Justyna provided during the conversation. This sort of world building matters because it adds depth and makes Ostrov a real place with a real history and culture, which actually matters, instead of just some disposable colony of ants or something like that, which is typically the case when it comes to most stories of this kind (though there aren't many anyway). With these sorts of details, the country comes to life as a REAL place with a REAL history and full of REAL people. And now it is completely at the mercy of Kristen, Ginny, and whoever. It makes whatever they do MUCH more impactful, you know?
Loved the part where Kristen dumps the 17 micros into her ass, and they sought refuge in her anus but she likely killed them all with a fart. Haha! :) Really makes me wonder about the fate of poor Luka and the thousands of other nanos lost deep inside the vast cavern of Ginny's rectum, how long they might manage to hold out there, and what Ginny herself thinks about them being inside of her.
Good to see Rasha return to the story. Both she and Janelle are the only ones aside from Kristen and Ginny who have seen the tiny cities/country, but as far as they are aware its just some "art project" or something. That said, depending on what Rasha managed to see and hear during her eavesdropping through the fence, she might now be aware that there is something weird going on, even if she can't figure out precisely what. Will be interesting to see whatever conversation she has with Janelle on the topic of what they think is in those rooms, since its something they've both actually seen.
Realistically speaking, if something like this ever did really happen I'm not sure what Janelle actually could do in this situation, if she found out there were all these tiny people for real in Kristen's house and that many of them have been murdered by her. Would any government in our world recognize these tiny people as human and the laws applying to them? They're not citizens of any recognized country or even of this world. I don't know if there could be a basis for Janelle to arrest Kristen on any of this. Realistically, all the tiny people would probably end up in some Area 51 government research facility and not necessarily have any better fate than being left in Kristen's house where they were.
The line you wrote about Kristen thinking about the Academy recruits maybe maintaining security in Ostrov is interesting. Considering just how much destruction Parker alone was able to cause and how the rebels were unable to stop her despite hitting her with everything they've got, its probably massively overkill to have even more than just ONE micro in the nano room to crush uprisings... unless of course the nanos manage to get nuclear weapons or something.
That said, I think realistically speaking when the nanos hit Parker in the previous chapter with planes full of explosives and it almost killed her, I think it probably would have REALLY killed her. Because if the Micros are skyscraper-sized to the Nanos, and if even planes without explosives were enough to destroy the WTC on 9/11, then I think it should have been enough to have killed Parker. That's just my thoughts though.
Anyway, having a security team of Micros in the Nano room is a cool idea, but it also creates the potential for a LOT of havoc... but that's part of why its such a cool idea I guess. :)
But its going to make the poor Nanos even that much more unhappy, and they're going to feel like (and actually be) much more tyrannized than they previously were up to that point. It gives Kristen (and Ginny or whoever) a much greater ability to impose their will on the nanos and make them do whatever they want. Being so small meant that Kristen couldn't see what they were doing or not doing, so they kinda had a lot of freedom in that sense, but with these micro enforcers as her eyes and ears, those days of that freedom are probably numbered. :)
Of course, its going to probably make Justyna even more frustrated too. Assuming that these micro enforcers are subordinate to her and actually respect her authority like Parker (mostly) did then things might be kinda okay, but that's a very big IF. But even assuming that they do, Justyna knows full well that she's really just Kristen's puppet. She might be the prime minister and reside in a royal palace, but its just a gilded cage, and her conversation with Kristen in this chapter made that abundantly clear. I'm sure that would become even MORE true when there's these micro "helpers" watching over things and enforcing Kristen's will and so on. Even if they're nominally subordinate to Justyna, its clear their real mistress is Kristen, ultimately.
But adding a bunch of micros into the dynamic also adds the potential that their could be some infighting among them. They could team up with some remants of the nano rebels (not that the nano rebels really bring much to the table themselves) and do a bit of rebelling themselves? Who knows. :)
Oh! Here's a couple interesting ideas I just thought of for you to consider:
How about Kristen expands on her experiment idea a bit further by having a new additional city be founded in the Micro room, only this city is made up of a large group of Nano settlers from Ostrov? I think it could be a cool idea with much potential to have this new Nano city join the other cities in that room, with their own mayor and whatever, and then they could also become part of the politics that goes on with stuff in that room... only they're nanos and a thousand times smaller. :) Think about it, like... their tiny city which is the size of just a skyscraper of one of the micro cities (or something) but they get their own place and their own voice and get to vote or whatever goes on with stuff there. The micro security team could make they are safe from micros invading and doing destruction (hopefully). They could also participate with whatever activities Kristen decides to make the cities do, just in their own nano way. :)
I'm not sure if they should still be considered to be part of Ostrov despite them being in the Micro room and far away from the rest of Ostrov, or if they just get spun off into their own independent thing. In the former case they would still see Justyna as their Prime Minister with whatever (limited) authority she has); or in the later their mayor would be their main authority (below Kristen, of course).
Alternatively, the other idea is the same thing, but just reversed. Have a bunch of colonists from the Micro room migrate into the Nano room, and then have them found a new Micro city there. Hopefully (for the Nanos) this new city would be in some uninhabited or perhaps already destroyed part of Ostrov where it wouldn't be any harm to the people of Ostrov. Again, this idea would have some cool potential for various interactions, I think. It could also be the place where the Micro security teams reside when they're not doing their security team stuff, as well as their families, and whoever else would need or want to be there.
Again, this Micro city in the Nano room could either be its own quasi-independent thing (subordinate only to Kristen herself), or they might be considered new citizens of Ostrov, and then Justyna would then become their (nominal) leader. I think it would be a really cool idea and would love to see how that would play out. :)
Another way to look at it is these could kinda be like sort of embassies between the two rooms if it went both ways. The nano city would speak for Justyna in interactions with the Micros, and vice versa. They could do cultural exchanges, perhaps some trade deals between the rooms, who knows. :)
If you decide to do this it would be a great topic for discussion the next time Justyna and Kristen have a conversation. Justyna might propose the idea, since maybe she needs the micro assistance for rebuilding/security, or maybe Kristen decides its "how its going to be" and Justyna has no choice in the matter. Woul be interesting to see how she reacts to having this massive (in size at least, if not also in numbers) of migrants imposed on poor tiny Ostrov. But it wouldn't be SO bad if these migrants are made citizens of Ostrov and (at least nominally) subordinate to her. At least they already speak the same language (for some reason) but they might need to adjust to the different culture, or something.
Anyway, I think I've rambled on for far too long. Sorry about that. Whether you liked my ideas or not, I look forward to your next chapter! :)

I do appreciate the fact that you like the little additions of lore and details with world building. I'll try to incorporate maybe a little more of that here and there when it makes more sense to do so.
Rasha and Janelle I think will have more roles to play in the further development of this story, I'm still trying to sort out what I really want to do with them and if it will make sense to me to where I am happy to write it. Especially with Janelle, like you said, in real life this would be treated quite differently.
I don't want to think too far ahead with the nano and micro interactions, but I go through a lot of deleting and rewriting my thoughts and ideas on the future of that.

Perfect as always (can't wait to see a chapter focus on feet stinky if possible)

Thank you! Lol yeah, I'm sure there will be a time and a place for scent tags with the context I'm going for.
