I love how fast you have been updating, it bodes really well for maintaining a consistent style throughout the story; like you have been doing. I liked Mae’s introduction as a quiet kind but nerdy friend, and in this specific chapter I like how she dipped a little into Claire territory with the last few resiliency tests.
As for Claire, you are on a roll. I thought the breakfast scene and the subsequent just hanging out with the occasional toe prod scene was hilarious and cute. Bri standing there in complete shock and awe after being licked and then being poked in the face with milk. I would very much like to see more things like that.
Now for going forward to their first weekend together, I think Claire should really up the ante. With the whole world open to her, and her pocket-enclosed toy-sized companion, I think they should be inseparable this weekend. With Bri being in for a fun but rocky few days, as she has Claire’s undivided attention. Maybe they could go on a shopping spree for more things Claire needs/wants for the rest of the month watching her tiny pet/toy/prisoner/friend. (Whatever the best word is, Bri’s status has been all four throughout the story interchangeably!)

Your writing is too good!
Since this is getting updated so fast (which is awesome), I'll let this be my review for chapters 5-8
For chapter 5, the main thing I have to say is that I love the image of Bri being carried in Claire's purse like a puppy, of course with Claire reaching to poke and prod her pet with her fingers. Too cute!
For chapter 6, I'll use this as an opportunity to say that despite how foot-focused I am, I love how you write Claire's handplay interactions with Brianna! Every poke, prod, grab, squeeze, tickle, and all the rest are simply adorable! But I like Mae's character a lot and all the little tests she devised.
The "side story 1" was a lot of fun too. I like getting a little look into the worldbuilding, and that image of Emily sheepishly nudging the little pervert away from her toes only for him to come scurrying back is just too cute (and kinda hot) in such a twisted way lol
Chapter 7? Amazing!
I love how you mixed it up with the licking from Claire! I hope we see at least a little more of that in the future, as it's a lot of fun, both the image of it and the adorably disgusted reactions from Bri. I like that Mae is sweet to Bri and encourages her, but also takes Claire's side when it comes to the teasing and playing.
Of course, my favorite thing about this chapter is how Claire simply can't keep her feet away from little Bri! It's like the tiny girl has a magnetic pull on her owner's feet and hands and I adore it!
Chapter 8 was great too! I was almost hoping that from the way Mae had described "resilience" at the end of the last chapter that this would be an in-shoe test. (Although, maybe that's what this could be preparation for? ;) )
For real though, I loved the actual tests and especially when Claire shook and tossed Bri around in her hand. I can't wait for more tickling in the future, too. The kiss was such an adorable moment, and I love Bri's reactions to affection like that. Lastly, the scene with Bri back in the purse was very cute, and I love to see both Claire unable to keep away from her adorable toy and Bri unable to resist feeling comfort and warmth from being held.
I can't wait to see more of this story! It's way too good!
Shoutout to Goddess Kelly Smith's review with the hamster wheel/tubes idea and Toothpasted's review with the doll dress-up idea! Both sound cute.
I also hope that my chapter 4 review didn't come across as too demanding or anything. I just wanted to make sure you understood me clearly.
I'd like to follow it up in a future review, but for now I'm just enjoying the ride :)
Keep up the great work! Thank you for this story!

A review for every chapter? I'll try to reply separately then. I appreciate that you like my work.
There's something about multitasking I love so much. Claire's main goal is to walk from one location to another, and playing with Bri is an afterthought. You know how people take out their phones on the bus to check out socials to not get bored except playing with tiny girl in your bag is much better. There's also the fact that she does it in public while no one can see it, and even if they pay attention, they will just be slightly interested and not think too much.
Having your tiny exhausted with some simple tasks is just the best. I honestly like it so much. Did you manage how cooperative Bri was? Maybe there's more to it. Mae's character is very subdued. Claire has too much energy and is too active. Mae serves as some kind of balancer. Of course, she likes tiny things a lot. You can tell she was prepared for this and she only had a day to prepare! How did she manage to do it? She saved Bri quite a few times but is always watching curiously if she thinks there's no harm. She is also the character I created for Bri to like. Claire that is always poking her and Mae who saved her so many times and allowed to rest in her hand. Seems almost angelic in contrast. I wonder what happens if she's alone with Bri and there's no Claire to take action. Will she take matters into her own hands to explore her curiosity? She's pretty submissive tho, so I wouldn't be surprised if Bri was calling the shots.
7. Had to make a licking scene so breakfast is mostly for that. Bri trying to retaliate was so cute! Also, I kinda remembered that you need to eat to live and I haven't written Bri eating a single time, so there it is. Done! Anime about robots is the closest we have to GTS so seemed pretty fitting.
8. I can only think of in-shoe as a punishment or a dare. So Bri either has to misbehave severely or be rewarded afterward. I have yet to ponder on both scenarios as Claire is rather forgiving and Bri isn't one to ask for things or want them too much, especially in her current situation. I'm proud of the Kiss scene. Doing my best to give Bri as much affection as possible.
Side story is to cover the world-building as well as Claire's mother. I don't want her interfering with Claire too much so I decided to give her some kind of 'exhausted veteran' vibe that had some fun in the past but now is tired and wants to do her job. Feels like she needs some more plot time tho. Where is her husband? Have some idea about making him a criminal that she arrested herself in the past(But that feels like a separate story on it's own). Not sure about Emily and the 'toe licker'. I may need to expand on their relationship. Just some shoes can't stop a determined man! She should talk to him directly and hope they'll come to some arrangement.
I wanted to reply to your previous review but I wrote like, 200 words reply before sending it only for GTSWorld to lag out... :( And it was gone just like that. I forgot half of it so I will reply when I remember.

This story is absolutely fantastic. It’s so rare that really great gentle/teasing stories get posted on here. I waited to do my review until I fully caught up on all 6 chapters and the side story, I couldn’t stop reading it. Cant wait for more of this one. I really love how much claire likes toying with bri and how much bri is trying to stay defiant. I hope there are more games, teasing, and general messing with bri in the future. Maybe claire gets some new clothes for bri to wear the rest of the month and makes bri do a reluctant fashion show to decide what she likes, I think something like that could be right in line with how you have been expressing their companionship. Really awesome stuff

I would like to say that I am a huge of this story so far! I love the relationship between Bri and Claire, a very gentle, but super playful and teasing giantess constantly testing the limits of her huffy little pet. I really enjoyed the foot rub scene and can't wait for the next chapter!
At the end of chapter one, you said you were open to ideas and I have a couple to share. First, what if Claire upgrades the boring old box to a deluxe hamster cage. It has plastic climbing tubes, a running wheel, water funnel, and even a cute little wooden house with bedding and privacy. Its a much better alternative to the current one, and so much more humiliating for Bri, once again making it seem like spending the night with Claire is the better option.
Second, I like to image that once the month is up, and Brianna is grown back to normal, she falls to her knees in joy. This is the greatest moment of her life, getting her life back and being free of the torment. But the officers see how well Claire did, so they give her the honorary role of being Brianna's parole officer. Not only does she get to tease her more, Claire also acts as a constant reminder of what will happen if Brianna gets in trouble again.
I hope you like these ideas and I can't wait for the story to continue!

Thanks for the praise
With Claire's character, I doubt it would be fun for her to offer her tiny friend any privacy. As for the bed... she's afraid if she makes her cage too comfy, Bri will stop sleeping in her hand. You mentioned a wheel, and it just seems like something someone like Mae might just have. Who knows, it might just be her gift to Bri to celebrate their new friendship. Not sure about any other upgrades. Claire is just a student and having some drinkable water around that doesn't seem to be ending no matter how much Bri drinks might seem like enough in her opinion.
Oh! I also have some ideas for their reunion. It will spoil too much if I tell it directly but in the world with shrinking technology in use, police should not be the only ones who can access it, although it's strictly regulated and you would need to give your consent on getting shrunk.

Really liking the story so far! I like how it's taking a good bit of time for Bri to warm up to Claire at all, it's not something that should be instant or too soon but she's showing just a few cracks and I look forward to seeing how she'll be at the end of it.
Great job, keep it up!

Date: September 27 2024 6:25 PM Title: Chapter 4: Getting along
Oh wow! This chapter was AMAZING!! Exactly what I was hoping for. Seriously, this may be the best story I've read on here in a while, and that's saying something!
The ways that you describe Claire's teasing (all the nudges with her toes and her words about this being Brianna's "true calling") and Brianna's embarrassment and conflicted acceptance ("maybe it's not so bad... but I still hate it!" mindset) are absolutely perfect.
I think you may have misunderstood my last review, my friend. (Although I also think I made what I was saying sound a little too intense, like when I described Brianna "begging" to stay as Claire's pet, which isn't really what I meant.)
I didn't mean that Claire would be able to force Brianna into becoming her slave, as I agree that would be dystopian. When you said "There's something different about holding so much power over an equal to just breaking down a slave" I couldn't agree more!
I think that sort of dynamic is something we don't see very often, but that I would love to see more of!
Rather than "breaking" Brianna in the sense of turning her into a mindless, defeated or sad slave (which we already have plenty of), I instead meant "break" more in the sense of breaking down Brianna's resistance so that she becomes willing to serve her giant friend and (at least temporary) owner.
I think that the dynamic between these two characters, and how they interact with each other, is already perfect. The perfect mix of teasing without being too cruel, but still enough of a real power imbalance to be humiliating. Brianna still has to do what Claire says even if she doesn't like it, but Claire isn't cruel and Brianna isn't totally against it. Claire still sees Brianna as a person and even hopefully as a friend, but still enjoys her power over Brianna and takes advantage of it, seeing her as an adorable toy at the same time but in a way that doesn't make her less than a human equal. (Which you expressed very well in your chapter end notes when you said "As for Claire herself, she never had any animosity towards the tiny girl, seeing her as somewhat of a cute angry pet, hence her affectionate gestures only make sense.")
All I was suggesting in terms of where the relationship goes was that Brianna would eventually start to think that maybe she's better off living with Claire, and chooses to return to her (maybe normal-sized "independent" life feels empty to her). In this scenario, Brianna would start to genuinely appreciate Claire's warmth and affection as a friend, reluctantly enjoying being cuddled and cherished like a toy and pet (even if she stays feisty and pretends to hate it, playfully resisting and getting embarrassed when Claire suggests that she likes it). She would even learn to appreciate the power dynamic and Claire's commands, seeing it as a source of discipline, stability, and order in her life. Maybe these (warmth and discipline) are things that Bri's never had before, and so she feels that a simple, predictable life as Claire's little foot-friend is better than trying to make it on her own and prove some point about her independence.
This wouldn't get in the way of them still being genuine friends: hanging out, watching movies/shows, playing games, having real conversations, going out to the mall, etc. (Especially if, after Brianna's sentence is over, Claire can restore Brianna's size whenever she likes. But tiny roommate and foot servant would simply be Brianna's default that they both accept, Claire happily and Brianna reservedly.)
Even if she still thinks it's embarrassing and a little gross to be tiny and under Claire's feet, she would simultaneously feel comfort in Claire's feet, almost like they feel like home. Maybe these conflicted feelings would never go away, but Brianna would find a way to make peace with them, and Claire would help her navigate those feelings, enjoying every minute of it.
In this way, even if it's not always an easy life and Brianna can't always do what she wants and instead only what Claire lets her do or commands her to do, Brianna would find contentment in the tension of having an overbearing authority figure who is also her best friend at the same time.
This is what I meant by "puppy love" in my previous review. I didn't necessarily mean that Brianna would be infatuated with Claire, but only that she would develop an appreciation and affection for Claire as her provider and caretaker, the one who gives her a predictable and stable life, including the things that she doesn't necessarily want or always like doing for Claire but still does anyways to be a good friend and also to be a "good girl" at the same time. (She feels both of these different desires at the same time. To make what I mean by "puppy love" and the desire to be a "good girl" even more clear, I think you expressed it really well in this line: "She stayed silent, refusing to acknowledge Claire’s praise, though the faint blush on her cheeks betrayed her lingering embarrassment.")
Other than that, I stand by what I said (and I think you'll agree) in that I really want their relationship to be a totally platonic friendship.
Given what you've said in your notes, I think that this story is already heading in a similar direction in terms of their relationship by the end of Brianna's sentence, but I just want to see them stay as best friends forever, both in the normal sense and in the owner and pet sense at the same time (without the legal sentence forcing it)!
As I said before, I think that the unique nuance of that tension is something that we need more of! (Or at least I do lol) It has the potential to still be cute and fun as a power dynamic, but also heartfelt and sweet in a deeper way.
Sorry if this review is too long, but this story is too good for me to not engage with it fully! (I also have some other suggestions that I really want to share with you, but I think I'll save them for later. Let me know if you're curious.)
Thank you for the amazing writing and for responding to me!! Keep it up :)

Ooo... this is going to be good.
Awesome work so far! Great premise and great execution! I have very high hopes for this one!
I'm really hoping that this story ends with Brianna begging to stay as Claire's little foot girl~
I love the strategy that Claire is taking with Brianna, and I love that she told her exactly what she's doing, as that might lull her into a false sense of security thinking that now it won't work on her... when it still definitely will ;)
That being said, I do hope that Claire gives the stick as well as the carrot, giving some appropriately foot-related punishments when Bri gets just a little too feisty. Maybe Claire's conditioning will work so well that while she's being punished, she feels bad for letting Claire down </3
This last part is just me rambling, so don't think of it as me demanding anything! That being said, I'm also hoping that the bond between Claire and Brianna stays platonic, so that when Bri gradually starts breaking, the only affection she feels towards Claire is the same that a puppy might feel towards its owner <3
Once she's broken, maybe she'll still keep just a little bit of her feisty spirit so that she's still fun and cute for her owner. For example, if/when Bri confesses that she wants to stay with Claire, maybe Claire could tease her that she loves her feet, which makes Bri all flustered and insist that she only likes being Claire's little friend/helper, and serving/being at/playing with her feet simply... "feels right".
Anyways, that's enough for this review! Sorry it's so long lol
Keep up the great work!! :)
Author's Response:
I was actually considering towards the worldbuilding in general. If just every human, more so official's daughter wanted to make a slave out of you just for minor crime... That would be a little distopian for my taste.
Hence, I'm trying to go in a slightly different direction here: something more leaning of teasing between friends. Claire actually wants a tiny friend rather than a broken slave. There's something different about holding so much power over an equal to just breaking down a slave(It's just my opinion)
For Brianna, the plan is to remain rebellious and feisty, whilst growing more and more accepting inside, gradually lowering the resistance. She might not wish to be shrunken foot slave, but will still want to return to Claire as a friend, and maybe even accepting of shrinking procedure since her friend likes it so much.

Great so far, hope you continue. Would be great to see Brianna forced to attend school between Claire's toes. Or sat on while Claire does homework.
Author's Response:
Am going for the more gentle approach where Brianna is slowly being 'tamed' over the month and maybe there will be an epilogue where she wants to visit Claire to catch up and her mother insists she shrinks beforehand as she doesn't trust her near her daughter(And she reluctantly agrees).
Or maybe, after some time of freedom, she misses the experience and breaks some minor rules to meet Clarie again. So I'm going with a gentle approach for now, all things that can be described as pleasant, But we'll see. If Brianna misbehaves or gets bored at home, it may be a fitting place for her to end up in.
