This was really well done, and it’s the exact type of thing I’d write if I had a quarter of the writing skills you’ve got now

Very well written! Your writing style is captivating, and the moment the giantess shared the story of the hunter I genuinely felt a little frightened.

This was great! Love the gentle vore theme. The descriptions were detailed and well done, especially the sensations the hero experienced from her movements or sending her breakfast down to join him. I love that she forgot he was inside her. And the fact that she enjoys swallowing things whole (be they grapes or humans) was pretty hot.

This is really good! I hope we can get more.

This was a really enjoyable read and well worth the lack of sleep you may or may not have gotten (your sacrifice is one I'm willing for you to make!).

The first thing that stuck out to me was the choice to tell the story in second-person. I'm normally not a big fan of of this, but you sold me on it here. I think this was largely due to you spending more time telling us how we were feeling in a given moment than you did telling us what we were seeing. For whatever reason, focusing heavily on descriptions in the second-person feels redundant ("You see this" and "You see that" all the time).

But in this story, there's emotion behind every observation we're making. You don't simply tell us that we've found a structure in the woods; instead, we feel the emotion of finding shelter in such a desperate situation and even some speculation as to how the structure was used previously. There are plenty of other examples of this throughout the story, but this was maybe the most striking one for me.

In short, you took a style of narrative that I generally find bland, gimmicky (it only ever seems to kind of work when used in interactive, choose your own adventure kind of stories), and a bit jarring and made it feel immersive, engaging, and a pure joy to read. That's no small task!

As for the story itself, I love the little details you sprinkled into our backstory. I actually felt sad for a second reading about our father's passing, and that feeling actually hit me again when we quoted him about trust later on. I also found myself wondering if our mother is still alive and, if so, how she's doing? Were we stealing the bread for her as well or are we all alone in the world?

And you provided just enough detail on how we ended up where we were at the start of the story to help us fill in the blanks rather than make you take the time to tell us. It's a familiar enough scenario but presented in a way that felt personal and fresh, which was much appreciated. This is how you start a story in the middle, I think.

You did no less of an excellent job setting up our confrontation with Skadi. We feel her frustration at her research so clearly that even our character in the story is wishing her luck with it even though we think she's a monster at that point. This makes her mean introduction to us feel more realistic, even moreso once we hear that two other "little fools" who intruded upon her home with less wholesome purpose.

This setup is necessary in order to make her revealing her true nature once she realizes her mistake all the more believable, which it absolutely did. Not only that, but later on, when she laments telling you about keeping the thief in her stomach, we get the sense that she wasn't fully weighing how her words during that confrontation would affect us. In her stress and frustration, she instilled in us a terror that she probably didn't intend to even if we were there to harass her.

Because Skadi really is a sweetheart! I liked her character quite a bit, and the way she softened up as soon as she realized we weren't trying to kill her or steal from her was endearing. She didn't ask why we were there. We said we needed shelter, and, once she got a good look at us, it was clear that we needed help, so that was all that mattered. She just comes off as a good person who enjoys occasionally teasing gently a tiny. Nothing wrong with that!

I also like the way the dynamic between her and us slightly shifted as the story progressed. Initially, Skadi seems driven to help us primarily by guilt with some sympathy mixed in. But as we interact more, I got the feeling that she as starting to genuinely like us as a person. This felt natural through our polite nature, bravery, and straightforward nature. We even manage to make her laugh here and there, even if we weren't necessarily trying.

The point is that this relationship between them felt earned throughout the story, that, by the end, she wanted to help us because of who we are as much as for what she did. That's a nice, warm feeling to leave with the readers.

The vore at the end was also really well done! I like that we were modest enough to not go into her mouth naked, as the two of us barely know one another. The act itself seemed enjoyable for both her and us, though not sexual in nature, because, again, we're still mostly strangers at this point. And the mouthplay was a lot of fun.

But one area that you hit on that I loved was how Skadi's movements affected us inside her stomach. From her pushing into and rubbing her stomach to us not being able to keep our balance when she walked, that's an aspect of vore, both fatal and nonfatal that I don't think gets enough attention, and I'm always thrilled to find a story that takes this into consideration.

And, of course, the metaphor represented by the act itself was summarized perfectly with that last line.

If it's still on the table, I would encourage you to continue with this story, if only for my own selfish want to see what comes next for these two. You also presented enough interesting story elements that there are some questions I wouldn't mind seeing answered:

Just what is Skadi researching and why is it so important that it gets her so worked up? Are we an important enough criminal that we have to worry about the law hunting us down or are they basically content to assume we died out in the wilderness somewhere? How will Skadi react if/when we tell her how it is that we came into such a desperate situation? I've already mentioned my questions about our mother. What happens once we wake up and Skadi let's us out of her?

That being said, if you decide that this will remain a one-shot, you certainly picked a fine place to end the story.
