Another fantastic chapter! I do like how your were able to mix the unaware size elements with the actual story with it being fan service but yet part of the plot. I of course really liked the unaware interactions with Camilla but my favorite was Mel once again getting up close and personal with Esma's chest. Also I have a feeling Mel's secret is going to be discovered without her knowing now that she's going to have a literal shadow watching her. Looking forward to the next chapter
Author's Response:
Thank you!
Fan service is great, but there's also a lot of plot that needs to be revealed so I thought it would be helpful to give a mix of the two.
And at this point, Esma's chest has its own gravitational pull whether she's big or tiny

This story is amazing. The characterization is so good, it makes me fear for what might happen to Mel in future chapters. I hope this has a happy ending.
Overpowered tinies are so fun to read about, and so rare, I think the only stories that I've found of it are yours.
Author's Response:
Thank you!
I do agree that overpowered tinies are fun, since it actually gives them a chance to survive around giants. But it's also fun to give them weaknesses that can be exploited so we can still have content XD

Wait, hold up! I thought this was about drama, with a woman struggling to put her life together after suffering her parents' neglect.
Is this gonna end up 'bad ending' at the end, as in an actual tragedy? Please straight answers only, no read and see or stuff.
Author's Response:
(I saw it the first time XP)
...it's no fun if I can't be vague about things T.T
All I'll say is this. I do plan on it being a happy ending. What happens along the way will have plenty of goods and bads.

Another great chapter! I really enjoy reading each chapter that comes out and I even forget it's a size story on a site called giantessworld because the storytelling is that good. I am liking this mystery of who wants to bring the Moore family down, very interested in seeing who it is. Though I definitely look forward to those (unaware) size interactions in the next chapter you've hinted at.
Author's Response:
Thank you! This definitely is more a story with size than a size story lol

Great chapter, im a sucker for bonding moments. Esma and Karana enjoying their time with Philomel and her also enjoying it.
Cant wait till they find her tiny so they can dress her up in cute clothes and for Philomel to see their amazing bodies at tiny size even though its already great them being way taller at normal height.
Finally Camilla's nickname will stick and will have the best little sapphire in the kingdom.
Thank for all these updates. Keep up the great work.
Author's Response:
Thank you! I also love bonding moments, especially when one is somewhat fighting it.
And I'm sure Philomel will be seeing a LOT of their bodies with the next chapter~

Lack of size interactions isn't really bothersome as long as the story makes up for it. I always assumed the size interactions would be later in the story, when Philomels status as a tiny came out. On that note, thats something I can't wait to see, by all your writings, an Elided is stronger magically than any other being given the ycan quickly replenish mana, so I honestly can't wait for some idiot mage to underestimate Philomel, only to realise shes both A. Still an Archmage and B.Extremely magically powerful and has had years to prepare herself for this day.
Sad to hear updates won't be as frequent, I reallly looked forward to the story updates each day.
Author's Response:
Oh I know, the story is definitely going to be a slow burn when it comes to size interactions. But that doesn't mean I don't want to write them xP Fan service is important!
And as for her magic, people definitely aren't prepared for what she can do. Easy way to think of it, she has the mana of 5 archmages while small. When she grows, that amount is halved and continously drains. So even grown, she can cast as many spells as 2 standard archmages.
In a battlefield, an average mage's raw firepower is worth 100 soldiers. A mid rank mage is worth 500. A high ranking mage is worth 2500. An archmage is worth 10000.

If anyone is going to end up finding her secret this early on its going to be Esma I'm betting now, after successfully retrieving the key from the countess haha.
Lovely to see Philomel be able to thaw more, but its really going to be getting caught that allows her to be open to any individual properly I'm assuming, if she knows they truly don't intend to hurt her despite the maw of death hanging over her existence.
Lovely stuff!
Author's Response:
I will say this, she can never let her guard down as long as she keeps her size a secret. Getting closer to others is a separate issue, but it's impossible to fully trust someone if you think they'll kill you upon discovery.
(Also, I write about several chapters at once depending on what scene is playing in my mind. I already know who the first person to find her out is going to be~)
Date: December 17 2024 11:20 AM Title: Hidden in Plain Sight
I fully expect a situation where she slips up in front of Camilla and she does the noble equivalent of "I didn't see anything" and helping Philo come up with a lie to trick herself. Like:
"Oh? Little princess... I... Uh... I see you're testing your new size changing spell! As expected from the youngest arch wizard!"
It's also something her mom or dad would have to do to cover up the story and not seem hypocritical in front of the nation.
Author's Response:
For Camilla, it's a maybe. She enjoys having her little sapphire around...but she is also desperate. The reward may be too great.
As for her parents, they don't care how they look if it means curing their precious daughter.

How can World Wide sexualize people based on race? It's dumb.
I really don't understand why or from where this 'based on race' came from, but don't care about suche people, just write what you want. If people would get offended over suche simple matters as fictinal story, nothing run would every be made.
Again, write what you want and feel like you would like.
Date: December 16 2024 11:40 PM Title: Hidden in Plain Sight
Didn't mean too feal passive agressive, but you have many stories Great stories, and many aren't finished.
Like one reincarneited as a fairy.
Or about shrunken tourist.
And about this one in digital world.
Author's Response:
Fairy's Heart isn't fully dropped, just haven't felt like writing it for a while
World Wide...is complicated. I liked it, but someone messaged me that it was problematic because it was sexualizing people based on race
Inside Adventurer is 100% dropped. That was made when I was just starting out, can't even remember where I was going with it.

Oh to clarify my earlier review, I totally agree! - I'm really looking forward to the size/smut but the story and characters are ticking along at a lovely pace that I'm completely engaged.
Been waiting to get a better sense of the countess, seeing her detached from her scheming seeing her interact with her sister its nice to see the actual kind hearted side.
Like Philomel your comment to another reviewer about this story being a tragedy is keeping my guard up and stressed a bit about her (she does have everything to gain from 2 inch tall person after all..), stop making me worry for the poor thing she's been through enough haha!
She'll have the estate rivalling the capital at this rate, if anything I hope she doesn't forgive her parents even if her mum at times is so close yet so far into seeing just how horrible she'd been, the dad is a complete lost cause at this rate.
Seeing into Philomel's perspective is heartbreaking, the body issues certainly rings a cord for me whenever a story does it, but I can see it being a case that the scars won't be too bad its just she's totally stuck in this mindset and can't escape it.
Really looking forward to the next batch of chapters, I'm hanging on every word *salutes*
Author's Response:
Wow, thanks for the in depth review!
Camilla is certainly a hard nut to crack. It'll be hard to tell what she actually wants from her typical confident, scheming self.
If you're worried about Philomel suffering...I say you might want to avoid the next chapter when it gets posted. It's already written, and it gets a bit more intense. I'll make sure to put in more fluff in the chapter after it XP
And yeah, I do base her perspective on actual trauma responses. Suddenly being around people that care can feel like a complete lie when bitterness is all you know. As for her scars...you'll have to stay tuned to know more~
Date: December 16 2024 10:36 PM Title: Progress
I've said it before and it bares repeating, I can't wait to see when momma and poppa get a serious explosive reality check, it'll be such a joy to read their and any audiences reactions to their failure as parents.
On the note of AI Images I mentioned previously, even if it doesn't work well with scars an image of out protag and the other various characters would still be very useful and appreciated if possible, you could just leave a small note at the bottom of any images you feel aren't up to snuff with a small description of any missing details.
Also, honestly can't wait till Liandra wakes up a just bitch slaps the folks.

Great story. But I have a questions? Will this continue, or just stop too soon, like your other stories?
Unless they are fully posted somewhere else.
Author's Response:
Feels a little passive aggressive, but yes I plan to continue this. This is also my main upload site, I post less often on DA under the same name

Really enjoying this story. Do like that some people understand what Philomel is going thru and wanting to support her.
Amazing writing, keep up the great work.
Even made me think I should go read the manga, I been reading a bunch of web novels.
Author's Response:
Thank you! Definitely want to show that Philomel is going through hard times, but that doesn't mean EVERYONE is awful

Hope you keep up with this one, it's so good <3

Thanks! Have the next few chapters already written, just putting on some touch ups. Having fun writing it, so no plans to stop

Also, just noticed something an inconsistency. Is baron family still around? For doing something that endangers royalty and colluding with bandits to harm the country?
Isn't Royal family expected to wipe them out? Even if just to maintain their dignity? I fully expected him to run off to another country or something but, from chapter 3, he's still a baron?
Author's Response:
It's a noble society, there's more than one baron level family. The specific family that caused the incident were in fact executed upon being discovered. I guess that is my fault for not specifying which baron family it was lol
Date: December 15 2024 3:31 PM Title: Hidden in Plain Sight
Well, it makes sense for Elided to not develop much in this continent due to Kingdom's technological advancement.
Would love to see Elided dominated society tho, it would make so much sense in your world building, while also making people to live on and prey for one day when they're blessed and become tiny, would be fun to see the thoughts and mentality, also, maids pr servants who take care of Elided would make some nice interactions
Author's Response:
I'll keep that in mind if I ever decide to do a spin off. This story is very much a tragedy, so wouldn't fit.
Date: December 15 2024 12:41 PM Title: Hidden in Plain Sight
Read 2 chapters so far(Quite long, I like it). Question about Elided:
Do they have perks other than magic?
Relative high physical strength/endurance/agility/durability/recovery when in their normal state? Eternal youth? They seem to be better at magic than the person can get by eating them, so it makes sense to dyefy them and let them bring glory to the kingdom before eating them when they're about to die from old age(if they do) to the person of their choosing.
I wonder if Empire with these rules exist and they prosper in the other continent. I bet they would find how the kingdom in our current story works super barbaric and deserving and extermination. Sounds like potential ground for future conflict(I'm not insisting on telling the story myself, just giving ideas)
Author's Response:
It'll get exposed more later on, but can answer a bit.
They have more endurance and pain tolerance, as well as swift recovery. They don't have any superhuman physical abilities besides that. Their lifespans aren't affected, though they tend to stay healthier for longer.
As for countries in another continent, can't say how they handle things there! For this continent, the kingdom is always on the lookout for Elided to appear, even sending agents to other countries to capture them.

Why didn't she 'request' for her chamber not to be disturbed? This seems kinda stupid, given how her survival hinges on subterfuge...
Author's Response:
She did request it when she said she didn't need a wake up call. They came anyways, thinking they were being helpful.

I'm really enjoying the story here -I love smut as much as the next person on this site but this really does feel like a breath of fresh air.
Love how minimised (hehe) the size element is that it makes those moments all the more impactful, there's proper stakes to the potential eating of the lead - you can just see how many ways it can go wrong for poor Philomel! argh!
I wish her the best of luck, looks like she will need it!
Author's Response:
Thanks! I also enjoy size smut, I love a good story to lead up to it. Slow burn that eventually reaches a really good place. Size smut for the sake of size smut feels a little...fake? I guess the same vibe as watching porn lol
And yeah, not so much size elements so far. Each moment there is leads a high risk for her to be caught. And she is certainly going to need that luck~
