And another Greek god enters the scene! I'm liking this a lot :)
Author's Response:
Thanks for continuing to read Ifcfan.
The best part of using greek gods as characters is that I can utilize the various myths and legends about them to help develop their characters personalities.

Nice to see this continuing! Sadly Nephila’s distain for her own kind is unwarranted even though it is a realistic development for her. Curious to see where this goes.
Author's Response:
Hey Kazuma glad to see you have continued reading.
As for Nephila I totally agree that her hatred is somewhat unwarrented, this is because she is by design an immature character (Mentally, not physically speaking just to clarify). She has no formal education and before Michael came along rarely had any social interaction other than with Athena who sees her as more of a pet than an equal. However, Nephila will certainly develop more concrete reasons for her viewpoints as the story progresses.

It's great to see stories like this on GTW. Smut is good and all, but this got my attention. It took me the first three or so chapters to get into it, but now I'll say I'm looking forward to the updates.
As always you got to watch for those run on sentences, and need to add more comma's. Your later chapter's seem better focused, and have less noticeable errors. Still grammatically everything is there, and so it's more pleasant then some of the stories on GTW.
The senator I can't place yet, he feels like he might be a character working for himself for his people. The Atlantian Senators remind me a lot of the Timelords Senators.
Michael it's kind of all over the place. Sure he is the solider, the one, etc. At the same time his thoughts go every which way from militaristic, to philosophical, to second guessing his own actions. Hopefully his character will flush out more as the story goes.
Nephila seems ordinary enough, but at the same time I feel like at the pace she's going she will have some sort of breakdown or realization of herself and people in the broader sense. I think she needs to understand more about her own people, not just zoo giants, before she can pin down what she really is, wants.
Athena reminds me of The Rani from Doctor Who. So I can't decide yet if she's a villain or just a Hammer's version of Doctor Frankenstein. Being that unethical behavior is acceptable in the pursuit of knowledge. Still the fact that Nephila exists how she is, shows she still must have some kind of heart for these giants. That said, science fiction can't help but borrow or create idea's similar to what already exist.
The romance, or should I say militaristic misunderstandings? It's comical, and also seems like it might bear real fruit in the future, I'll keep an eye out for it. Anything here now is just time, but with enough time, time can become something more.
The concept is well thought out, if not very original in the broad sense of sci-fi. Still Sci-Fi with GTS themes is still a new genre in a sense, so it's cool to see it. I can't help but want to draw parallels to my own stories I'm writing on GTW at the moment.
Anyways keep up the writing, and I'll look forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response:
Thanks for reading EricAFreak.
I concur that there needs to be more plot-driven stories on GTSworld.
I'm glad that my grammar isn't too bad. I 've been working hard on trying to improve it and the advise you have given me has definately helped.
The senator is sort of a minor character, but he might make a re-appearence later. As for the senators themselves, they were modeled more or less after roman or greek senates.
Michael is very old, even though he is physically young. And in addition he is also the veteran of a very costly war, his philosophical side is a product of his long lifespan and his militaristic side is well... a product of his military career. As for his second guessing the way I see it everyone does that no matter who you are.
Nephila is probably not going to have a breakdown, but she will have to come to terms with her hatred for both Atlantians and for her fellow giants.
Athena. Now she was interesting to write, and will certainly be interesting in later chapters. Sadly I can't say much about her for now.
I'm glad I came up with a new idea lol. It makes writing the story that much easier because I don't have to worry about copying somebody.
See you next time Eric

Well done, you do a good job of crafting vivid scenes and you've got an unusual premise here which is interesting. Interested to see where this is going.
Author's Response:
Thank you for reading QMajor.
I like to think that what makes a giantess story truly good is its details, and your review has re-assured me that I am doing a good job.

This story has been one of my "go-tos" for a while and it seems to be progressing along nicely. It was nice character development for Nephy to have evil thoughts about what she could to to her tiny partner. Im glad shes come to like Micheal enough to let go of such thoughts and even condemn herself for having them.
Glad I decided to check the latest today! Hope you continue to push forward with this story.
Author's Response:
Glad you've enjoyed reading it as much as I have writing it Gadgetma.
And I intend to push this story far, and maybe even expand further into this little universe I have created with a side story or something.
See you next time. :D

Great story AW! I don't know why I missed this earlier. It has great writing, pace and charcater development, just the things you need for an adventure story. And of course, you made me want to know what happens next!
But I do have some questions which I hope you'll clarify to me. You mentioned primitive humans on Earth's landmasses, while Atlantis is there too. Does this mean that there are two human races there?
If so, considering that the Atlantians are near immortal and that the story is set in the past, does this mean that the characters like Athena are actually the gods from Greek mythology?
And judging by the title, I kind of see where this is heading for. :D
Author's Response:
Thank you Ifcfan I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. Especially since you are very accomplished in terms of Sci-fi giantess stories.
Regarding the questions.
1) I would say yes. Since the story takes place 37,000 years ago during the last Ice age, so if my knowledge of pre-history is accurate than there should be some Neanderthals living in what will eventually become Europe. As far as the story goes I can say that I never really considered that angle and figured everyone would just assume them to be modern humans.
2)I cannot spoil the ending, but considering Athena is named after a greek goddess and Michael is named after a biblical angel I will simply tell you that your head is in the right place.
Once again thank you for reading my story I hope to hear from you again. :)

Great stuff. Glad that you brought this up at the meet last / this night. The direction of this story looks really promising, and the characters are quite personable as well. I can't wait to see more! 10/10, most definitely.
I can definitely see as well your comments about it being more plot based to be true. But I still hope that doesn't mean we won't get any kinky stuff. *Nudge nudge*
I kid. Well, I mean - You know what I mean. I think. >_>'
Great work so far!
Author's Response:
Thank you Xandar I'm glad you liked it.
And I do intend to balance the GTS action with the story. It isn't going to be all plot no sexy action story.

Story is moving at a great pace.
Its interesting with the twist switching the giants as pets instead of humans. Nephilla is a great character, can't wait to see her evolve as the story continues.
Can't wait for more
Author's Response:
Recently I have been focusing on how to properly pace my stories and I am glad you noticed.
As for Nephila I concur. She is also probably the most complex character I've have had to write.
Hope to see another review from you soon.

Finally got a chance to read all the chapters of this story and I have to say it’s pretty interesting. I like the characters and universe. Hopefully Nephila learns not to paint all humans as cruel through her interaction with Michael.
And to chime in with what the others have said, I do like the role reversal with the humans being the dominant ones over the giants, but from what you’ve displayed at the end of chapter 2 and chapter 3 there are some cracks in the illusion of power the humans have over the giants. Nephila could easily kill Michael and that bitchy Atlantian ridiculously easily if she really wanted to.
One thing I’m confused about though. If Nephila can withstand earth’s gravity, does that make her stronger than the average member of her race? I kind of got the feeling she managed to hold back that savage male due to some enhanced strength.
Author's Response:
Thank you for taking the time to read and review KazumaR1 I'm glad you enjoyed the story.
Nephila will soon realize somehting else about humanity that will alter her perceptions on humanity.
As for the roll-reversal, It goes both ways. The giants have incredible physical power and because of their size they also have a speed advantage, with their main disadvantage being how primative they are.
On the other hand the Atlantians possess powerful technology, and the wisdom to use it as well (not to mention their near immortality and powers), but their main drawback is the fact that they are still very much human and can die easily at the hands of something much bigger and stronger physically than them.
As for Nephila's ability to stand properly in earths gravity unaided, I haven't decided why this is yet. I am currently weighing each explaination to see which one lends itself to the plot best.

Legitsause, this story is actually very interesting, Im not sure why I hadn't noticed it sooner. The whole 'role-reverse' thing with giants is quite clever and lends itself well to this story. The attempted rape of the newest chapter as well as the woman's attitude really gave perspective into the type of world your building here, keep it up, Im loving it so far!
Author's Response:
Thanks for reading and reviewing Gadget.
Personally I believe this story is more of a roll-equalizing story than a complete roll-reversal story, since the giants can easily slay their masters if they get them in the right position. However they can't since then the giants would have nowhere to go and nobody to care for them.
[Report This]Date: August 09 2013 7:39 PM Title: The Walk Part 1
And already the story is moving forward. I like it.
I said it before in the last review and I must repeat... interesting to see giants as pets and the interaction.
I don't see what is so dark about this chapter. I mean, I like Nephilla so far, she is kinda cute and sweet, and I don't like seeing her assaulted. But it's actually very plausible that the giant male who isn't sentient would act that way.
I'll be waiting for more, so far I think you have and interesting set up and characters.
Author's Response:
The dark part was her getting assaulted, most people tend to not like that kind of thing (unless its happening to a tiny person). Then again considering this is Giantessworld, this chapter is considerably less dark than some of the other stories on this site.
[Report This]Date: August 03 2013 6:47 AM Title: The Giant Girl and Her Master
Yeah, this is a very good start. This story is seems to be really my cup of tea.
It's interesting that the humans are in the position to abuse the giants.
Writing style is very good, I don't think you need to worry about that.
I'll definately will follow this.
Author's Response:
Thanks Pico.
The humans are at a slight advantage due to their technology and long lifespans giving them the ability to be so cruel, but the giants have pure brute strength so every Atlantian who is around a giant will have to watch their backs.
Also thank you I was having doubt about the quality of my writing, particularly my grammar.
I look foward to giving you something to follow.
[Report This]Date: July 28 2013 8:22 PM Title: The Giant Girl and Her Master
I like the sci-fi aspect of this story, and the space-age enviroment that you've created here. The giants/giantess as 'pets', was a different aspect totally... as compared to most of the storys on this site.
That was a real cliff-hanger there at the end! Nephila might take advantage of her little roomate and decide to give him something to worry about...
Yeah, I think your off to a fasinating start!
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review wildcatman.
And trust me Nephila is quite the handful, she will make trouble for our main character

Great intro chapter, at this point it's anyone's guess at to how the GTS will be, so I'll hold my score off till I get a better sense of what's going on in this.

Thanks for the review gadgetmawombo I understand your hesitation to give this a good story, and I hope that the next chapter will make you fall in love with it
[Report This]Date: July 26 2013 6:52 PM Title: Prologue
Upon first few sentences, I was easily confused, that was until the dialogue presented itself. I became entranced into the story to learn more about this universe, I didn't even care when it came to the Giantess, I wanted to know more. It's good to see a story that actually contains story.
Author's Response:
Thank you for the review Micro72. It is quite a difficult idea to take in entirely at first, I am glad that the dialogue made it easier.
anyways you will not be disappointed as I plan to expand this universe a lot, and maybe if this story does well enough i'll open it up for other authors to make side stories.
