I liked a lot about this one, the overarching story and the idea of a friend and classmate (as well as a couple other classmates) being collected and shrunk down by Vortex, with at most one of them simply being a mild offense and the other two being persons just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I like how Alessia's mom just doesn't believe Nico before voring him. It would be interesting to see what becomes of Stefan, if Alessia grows tired of caring for him and eventually eats him or accidentally crushes him.
The one downside to the story is I felt things were a bit too drawn out, almost as if trying to attain a certain word count. If the story had been streamlined, I could definitely see rating it a 10.

Thank you! Vanessa and Stefan weren't only at the wrong place at the wrong time, there's another reason that is hinted at here but which will be explained more in a future story!
As for the length, I've commented on that in other reviews as well. It's ultimately a subjective thing; some people prefer it because it builds up more tension, others find it does the exact opposite and drags on too long. Personally, I prefer exploring details and different aspects of size and vore scenarios, even if it comes with certain downsides. For example, I often feel like skipping the whole digestion part because it's super repetitive to write, but I also know that's what 90% of my readers are coming for (no pun intended). And it's always been something that bothered me about a lot of vore stories out there, they're often so bare-bones that I don't feel invested.
I do agree, however, that the stories could still be streamlined by making the language more compact. When I come back to them after a while, I find a lot of long and convoluted sentences - I guess that's my native German seeping into the writing. Sometimes I edit them, but often I just can't be bothered! :-D

Forgot to post a review on this one way back when you posted it but man, another home run with this one!! I agree with literally everything the previous reviewer on here said. So great to see F/f in your stories, always my favorite parts by far. You capture the horrors of being digested alive so wonderfully. And I really can’t wait to see what Ramona has been up to lol. I’d also love to see more of the different kind of games Tanja plays with with her tinies she collects. She’s my favorite recurring character, possibly even my favorite giantess character. At least one of them. Can’t wait for the next one!!
Author's Response:
Thank you! :) And yes, that story with Tanja and Ramona will be continued as well. Currently working on several different stories at once, which is kind of slowing me down. Hopefully I will be able to focus on one particular story at a time again soon!

Always happy to see a new story from you. And another F/f too! What a
treat. This was amazing, as usual. Really no other authors show the
true existential horror of slowly being digested alive.
Stefan better hope Tanja doesn't get her hands on him, or he will soon wish he'd been eaten by Alessia.
Great to see these recurring characters. I hope to read about Ramona's fate at some point...
Looking forward to the sequel!Author's Response:
Thank you for the review and the rating! :) Glad you enjoyed the story. We shall see what happens to him!
And no worries, I haven't forgotten about Ramona either! ;)

Excelent story!
Was disappointed to see that it was listed as “completed”… Would love to see where things go after that massive cliffhanger
Author's Response:
Thank you! The "completed" simply means that this particular episode is finished, but it's not the end of this story arc. There will be a sequel! :)
