Your writing is fantastic in so much as I hate that woman the way the world hated Joffrey from GameOfThrones. In my head she goes to prison for murder, catches the virus and becomes her cellmates toy, Josh first get's disowned and then the same fate. His Mom never recovers either from carelessly leaving him so vulnerable to just be snatched.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading. Your predictions would come true in a just and righteous world, but in THIS world - Ashleigh and Josh face no consequences for their actions and Sarah simply shrugs her shoulders when she sees the contact lens case has disappeared.

Okay... I'm not gonna lie I'm pretty bummed he died. But I get it, there was a chance things would go wrong. 

I'm gonna ask this, what happens after? Will Josh realized too late how he messed up?

What about the family? I know that there won't be karma as it's over but I need to know what happens after. As Josh said, his mom will kill him so I gotta figure if found out. Things won't be the same. Even still, you did a great job. It's not how I would've ended it but I respect it. 



Author's Response:

Fair enough. I added a note at the end of the last chapter to say that could be interpreted as a happy ending, so maybe those who are more optimistic can pretend the story finished there.

What happens next is open to interpretation. 

Thanks for reading,

This story has been thoroughly enjoyable, and I'm quite sad it's coming to an end. At least I hope to read more from you in the future!

With one chapter left, my biggest guess is that we'll be spending some quality time with a certain desperate brother trying to get his sexy girlfriend back.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading :) All good things must come to an end. I have a handful of ideas for future stories, but I’ll be taking a break after finally finishing this.

Okay so I was going to comment but this one before me said it perfect and I'm really happy you did this so well and I hope he gets a good ending..

Still I'm curious. If they had supposedly moved on like it was possibly said in the Crumb chapter they im wondering what their thoughts really were. All of them... it would be nice to see how they felt a out their actions to him. To get an idea why and how it led to this kind of situation. I'm at least relieved the mom is going to help fix this. If things do work out. This guy will need therapy and maybe he needs to confront each family member a out their actions. As a way to move forward. I know it's a story but I get pretty invested in these things. Also, I'm curious. Would you recommend any stories like this? I'd like to read more content like this. Anyway, thank you for the 2 chapters.



Author's Response:

I imagine that the family genuinely love our protagonist, but they’ll never consider him to be part of the official family. If they see him, they’ll take care of him; but if he shrinks out of sight then…*shrugs*.

I don’t know any stories like this unfortunately, though please let me know if you stumble on any. Two stories that I enjoy on this site are ‘Family Punishment’ and ‘Origins of a Foot Fetish’ (neither of which were completed sadly).

Well looks like our protagonist is finally safe, but like it's written in the end notes there, the story is not finished yet, so I guess he's still in danger.

I can only imagine that either one of the siblings will disobey their mother order and put our protagonist in mortal danger, and I can totally guess it'll be Josh, where he'll in a pathetic way try to get Ashleigh back with him by telling her they found their shrunk step-brother, if that does happen it'll be the end of the protagonist for sure, but since his step-mother is keeping a close watch and is indeed trying to get him to normal size again I'm sure even if Josh tries anything or Ashleigh comes by she'll be in a way aware of the situation, and I do hope those two get what they deserve.

Bexi on the other hand might not do anything, but then again she's just a kid and even kids do stupid things.

There's also Mark but he did sounded really admired and reliefed by our protagonist being found and being safe, so I'm not sure he would do something stupid, he does care for his shrunk step-son in his own way.

But only time will tell, I do wonder if next chapter will be the last one or if there'll be more yet till the end.

Keep it up with the good work!



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading. One of your predictions is almost exactly correct ;), and I do intend for the next chapter to be the final chapter.

Sorry, the spell check was acting up. 

Reviewer: Rolanrunn Signed starstarstarstarstar [Report This]
Date: May 12 2025 12:46 AM Title: Chapter 28: Crumb

You know something, you inspired me. That part where it's revealed that Ashleigh left Mark made me think. For one, I thought, oh wow now that's funny at least ironically though. But anyway, I had an idea where a shrunken son or daughter that is trouble terribly by everyone but ends up missing leads to inly bad things happening. Possibly the family and or friends developed guilt, karma for cruelty or life made things more difficult like say the protagonist made more of an impact with helping a lazy sibling or had planned to help with one's future in a significant way but with them gone or missing.

My point is, you inspired me and I appreciate the work you put down. I know I've commented before but I hope he has a better ending. Thank you

Nice story, don't usually like FM/m stories. But for some reason (maybe only on my side) the text is sort of centralized in a way that make it that every row start and end at the same line.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading. I think what you’re referring to is the ‘justification’ of the text, which aligns all the words within the margins of a page.

Aww...... such a shame our little protagonist didn't spend more time nestled on his adoptive dad hairy testicle, if only he had choosen to stayed there instead of climbing his adoptive mom hand, our little protagonist would at the very least had being more safe and would have had a better chance on getting at least his adoptive dad's attention.

But either way, I wonder where this story will go now that he's that tiny.



Author's Response:

Staying on the sack would have been much safer for the protagonist in hindsight, but in the heat of the moment it was worth the punt (or so he thought at least haha).

Only 3 more chapters to go now, so his journey is almost at an end.

The story is so well-written! I'm really looking forward to the follow-up.

Looks like our tiny protagonist in that minuscule size he is now will have to bear and get use to being stuck where he's right now.

No one knows where he is and don't even know he shrunken more, so in the end the best choice for safety right now will be for him to stay right where he is, on his adoptive dad's ball sack, if he's luckly (or unlucky) Mark might find him there if he feels a itch or something, but the real question would be IF Mark find him will he help him or just leave him there and tell no one from the family about it (after all it would be about damn time that the dad have his own personal fun with his adoptive son anyway after everyone else from the family had their own fun.)


Loving this story, the whole theme roles of FM/m is always amazing, specially when something like this happens in the story~

Saw the author's comment on my review, my apologies I wrote that on my phone and must have accidentally hit 9 instead of 10 for a rating lol. Your story is just amazing please keep it up and when this story does end it can't wait for your next work.

Love the story; I always enjoy the slow dynamic of the people around the shrunken individual start to treat them more like a toy, pet, or bug. I see in other reviews people asking about whether or not it will be a "good" or "bad" end for the tiny main character (personality hoping for "bad" lol) but I'm sure,  after reading what you got so far, the ending will be great no matter what you decide.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading. May I ask what I could have done to earn that extra star in your rating?

I hope the protag gets a happy ending. Could you do like two separate endings?

The family sucks, I mean WOW! Don't get me wrong, it's a good story but I can't help but want him to get back to normal and the family receives bad karma.



Author's Response:

I don’t plan on writing two separate endings unfortunately, as I like the fact that the protagonist has no control over his giant family. There will be a positive chapter coming up that could be interpreted as a happy ending, which I’ll add a note to advise the reader when that occurs.

I've been waiting for him to get down to nano or micro size and end up in Ashleigh's clutches ever since the Cross dream. 

This is definitely one of the strongest stories ongoing on this site at the moment. Really looking forward to what happens next!



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading, I hope the final chapters will live up to expectations :)

turn around and look towards the end of the bed, wondering if the fall would kill me if I were brave enough to dive over the edge. I suddenly find myself envisioning numerous scenarios in which I’m granted the relief of instant death. I imagine myself hiding underneath the kitchen counter and jumping out in the footpath of a passing giant, and I’m overcome with a sense of tranquillity as I visualise the immediate end of my existence. No more misery, no more humiliation, just the sweet serenity of nothingness.


Thanks, this is what I was wondering at this point. He should be considering suicide. Or at least threatening it. I mean, it's the natural thing to do. Most riders never actually mention it in their stories. Which is kind of unrealistic because the human mind is sometimes pretty fragile. And I'm assuming that's why he's starting to feel fatigue and stuff. His mind is probably telling him to give up because he wants to be normal again. And his mind is probably telling him death. Will equal normalness. I know that's not exactly right. But that's sometimes what people believe I don't know how religious the main character is. I'm assuming he's probably normal Christian.


And it's been a while, but I'm assuming the aunt of the family, the one that actually gave him the talk and talked about crushing. Her husband still hasn't learned about what the family's doing with him. I'm assuming she's probably the one that straight Because she was the one that's quarter.Quotes say that the family actually cares about him I'm beginning to think that she would actually take better care of them than the family.


Last thing I do like the story but. Can you give me a warning if it's about to become more gentle like the beginning Per say Or are you gonna have an arc where he lives with Josh? And his dimensive ex-girlfriend. I typically don't read stories. That are really cruel, but I like your beginning. And i'm assuming because you responded earlier saying he'll find a balance later that I'll continue reading



Author's Response:

From this point onwards, there will be a series of unaware adventures until the protagonist is ultimately discovered. The way he’s treated varies among the members of his giant family; some are gentle, some less so.

A Another thing I don't get is why did emily Not question why he's f****** sick. Not question why you? Really small. If what ask it says it's true they would have told her he really likes it. Then why did he look pale and surprise when finding out there's a cure? I'm not trying to poke holes in your story. It's just doesn't make sense. I assume that maybe later she's gonna tell the ant. Might step in? She seems to be the only level-headed person and his family.  Also, I'm assuming that the rest of the family doesn't know that he's being sexually abused. Besides mark, there's just no way they think he enjoys that I know as he never said that 1 he was doing the outburst. He just mentioned the feet in the barbies.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading, though I’m sorry to hear you think there’s a lot of holes in the story. I can’t address most of your feedback as a lot of it doesn’t make sense imo. 

I think the scene in which he’s sick makes perfect sense, but it’s fine if you disagree. It was established that the marijuana had an effect on the protagonist and caused him to zone out, and it ultimately became too much for him when he received a world shattering revelation. The sexual abuse is something that only the parties involved are aware of, none of the family are aware of how the others treat the protagonist as they’re all too busy acting on their own selfish impulses.

The rest of the stuff you’ve listed seem to be minor holes that I think you can fill in yourself. This is a first person narrative, the reader only knows as much as the narrator knows.
