One of my favorite stories, you really nailed it. If you weren't such a good writer it could have been repetitive but your writing just grips the reader and holds him in this horrible situation. I'm not a great fan of death so I would like to imagine a happy ending where the little brother actually rescues his big brother, but this is still a magnificent story as it is.

Great story. On the surface it's a very simple story, but your writing makes all the difference. This is a story that lingers in your head. I hope you return to writing.

I enjoyed this story a lot. Would like to see more m/m based tf stories from you in the future! someone turning into a bug or fly, and unaware, really hot

Thank you so, so, so much for this story. It was just, wow... It's by far in my top5 of best stories of the last 3 years on this site. I wish I could show you my emotions of how happy it made me read this plot, and the ending was just amazing. It's so upsetting for me to find what I really enjoy, or actually, not being able to find it, because most stories are gts based, by a high manority of I would sad 98%. You totally made my day, and seeing the other reviews, a lot of other readers too, and that's amazing. Im sure there are lots of other people out there enjoying this type of stories, but dont say anything or just dont review. But I'm sure you also made their day. I'm so happy after what you wrote back, and I have to applaud you too, for that you stood "strong". Because you have no idea, how many times Ive seen it happen before. And I was so upset and mad at that other guy, who literally review like "amazing story Id love see gts stuff in the next chapter :p"... geez :'( It's always the same when an author steps forward and risks "crisitm" on here publishing a male based plot, and all the "weirdos" reviewing amazing story... but please add gts bla bla blub. It's the most rude thing you could do, and still people do it all the time. And whenever I see that, I breaks my heart, because mostly the author even follows that, and a once good plot totally gets destroyed for me. So I have to thank you again for this too, that you didnt follow that. Thank you sir, this story was amazing, and I loved every tiny bit of it. Especially the ironic ending was amazing, how he got "rescued", but before his arm was stepped on. I could had imagined his arm/insect leg being smeared to a pulp, and the boy maybe noticed that, and he thought it was a good thing to put the poot ant out of its "misery". I also imagined the last step not being totally outbalaned over the whole "ant", and its head still beeing intact, ooz flooding out of a crack, the antenna twisted and one half broken hanging over the head, the body a total mess of greenish brown ooz smeared and mixed with dust and sand particles to the rubbery sole, and the boy finally walking out of the bathroom, and the still alive and twisting ant, just his head part of the alive being, would be tortured again for some minutes, of experiencing the shoe going up and down in high speed towards the ground, and the boy just lazily sitting in his room on his computer, and again moving his shoes over the ground here and there, and one of that tiny movements, pressing momentum on the tiny dot under the sole where the head was still "living", and popping it too. I also have to say, that I loved so so so much more the idea and fact the boy wearing shoes, I imagine them old wearn out, I love converse sneakers for example so much. It's a so much more thrilling concept than "just" socks for example, or barefeet, which dont add that much humiliation that a shoe does, with it's dirty and rubbery sole, its threats under it, where the ant could fit inside one of those if its lucky, and so many more reasons. Sigh... thank you for this story man. Really. I hope youll write again plots like this in the future, male 12-16 giants are my favorite genres of shrinking and transformation stories, especially unaware is the best concept. I always loved ant/flea sized transformation the most, or shrinking sizes of around 1/32"-1/8" in a range of ant to dust particle or lint. I found a new favorite author and a new favorite story, I already printed it as a pdf and saved it in my favorite stories folder :] Keep up the amazing work!!! And have a nice day.

Wow, when you write a review you go all out.
I’m so glad you liked the story though. Honestly, I was the same way for a while. I enjoy writing stories that are more male giant related, but there were so many gts stories that it seemed like it wasn’t the place. Plus, every once in a while I would find a story that was male giant, and so many people would write such stupid things. Honestly, I don’t mind if someone asks for something, like for me to include female giants, but when people comment literally just to put down an otherwise good story, that I didn’t like.
Anyway, once again zol, thank you for the elegant review (and fun little alternate ending summary). I hope I can write more things of this nature soon.

Do you know what amazes me and impresses me the most about your writing?
No need to guess; I'll tell you. It's your ability to write both story like A Fly on The Wall, with its humor and Douglas Adams style jokes, and this story right here, with powerful emotions and palpable terror. I'm not afraid to admit that I'm extremely envious of that.
Everytime I see a new story from you, I can't help but think, "Oh goody! Sickpuppies updated!" Please, keep up the good work.
Author's Response:
That is such a nice complement. Truly, thank you.

I think you did an awesome job on the unaware. I know it can be difficult at times, from experiance writing. I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us!
Author's Response:
Can't wait to write more either

I am both jealous and enthralled by your ability to write male giants with such eloquence. It’s rare these days to find an author who will even touch this genre, and I applaud you for not only doing it, but doing it with finesse. Please continue, and in whatever direction you see fit.
That being said, I do feel the need to offer some light constructive criticism; which is more nitpicking than anything else. My solitary concern is that I felt that you could have added just a bit more detail on the shape and condition of the shoe; as well as a few other details such as if he wearing socks and such. Just my personal take; feel free to disregard.
Tl;dr version: keep doing what you do. ;)
Author's Response:
Thank you for the complements, and as always, criticism is always appreciated. For this story I wanted to focus more on the emotional parts of it, which is why I didn't put a lot of detail into describing the shoes.

Just an adding after reading the review of Skechers... please dont. Please dont do this unbelievable thing people always plead, which is the most rude thing you could do. Please dont destroy this amazing story by turning it into another gts story, which are 99.998% of the stories on this site. If he wants to read the 99.998% other stories he can, but please leave the 0.002% for the few people enjoying reading male normal sized characters too from time to time. It's just there is no real platform for both pairings, and dont get me wrong, I enjoy both, but I also am really glad, that a few authors from time to time write in a very very rare niche, for the few people who desperatly try to look for these kind of stories, and never find them. And then it's even more rude, if people say "amazing story, but please change/add it into an ordinary gts plot like all the other stories on here^^".
Author's Response:
I understand your frustration Zol, though I don’t think that asking for anything is really that bad. Still, as a fan of male giants who so rarely gets to see a story with them, I feel your pain.
Honestly, don’t worry about any giantess parts getting added in. I appreciate the recommendations and requests, but this time I wanted to write a story that I wanted.

No kidding, but this became already one of my favorite stories of the last months. Loving it to the last bit so far, fantastic writing style, great plot, amazing details, not rushed, just perfect. I love how you are capable to write that actually short event in such a detailed way. Most authors lack this and rush on the fun parts. So amazing how you let the boy exterminate without even knowing that other "ant", loved the idea so much of the shoe just because of moving it just a tiny bit on the floor, coming in contact with the ants half body and reducing into a smear, letting it still live but in total pain and humiliation, until the shoes slams down a 2nd time, this time transforming the former ant to a paper thin, no not even that thick, layer of bug guts. I imagine his antennas or a leg still twisting and glued to the underside of the shoe when it rises again. Fantastic story so far <3

I’m glad your enjoying it so much Zol. I really tried to focus more on the dramatic side of things. I always read stories where the main character shrinks, then, next chapter, are placed into some bad situation. Don’t get me wrong, I love those types of stories too, but I just wanted to write something different. I’m glad its working well.

The descriptions are great. The level of unawareness is extreme. Awesome job. I hope some sneaker clad women join in on the fun!
Author's Response:
thank you, but, probably (definatley) not going to add any women. Sorry

Amazing plot, really well written, really really well. I was surprised seeing male giant/normal sized themed stories, which doesnt happen so often on here, but totally is such a nice surprise. Plot and narrator wise awesome, was fun so far to read. It's a lot better than most stories on here, which lack proper grammar and tenses, because a story has to be in past tense. I hate it so much that I cant favorite this or add you as an author... I guess I would need to make a new account, it's somehow bugged for me and I am stuck at 19 and cant delete or add anything. Keep up the great work!! It's so great to see/know an author enyoing to write male giant plots too. I love the character a lot you came up with and I totally was able to imagine him in the room, just staying there making something to eat or what he does, and for him it's just a minor change of moving of his shoes, but for the ants it's a hellish experience. You totally wrote it out in such a great way that the reader could picture the scene in his head. Loved the part how you wrote about the other ant totally becomming ant, loved how the boy wears his sport shoes which had a flat rubbery sole, which would literally reduce the ants to a thin film of slime, just maybe a leg or antenna twisting or being glued to the underside of the shoe when it slowly lifts again. Loving the story a lot already :)

Thank you for the review, and I’m glad you liked it. Ever since I started writing I’ve been trying to work on my grammar and such, so I’m glad to see that it has actually paid off!
