Eeeeeeh. This is the first chapter I've had beef with so far, but I realize that it comes down to my own preference, so take it a grain of salt.

There's a lot of good in this chapter- lots of juicy exposition, a couple of good 'revelations,' if you can call them that (holy Jesus Emil held a special place in her heart, alert the no shit Sherlock squad), and again, top notch writing.

But. To me, Alex is becoming... Grating. Childish, even unlikable. I feel like there's a big push for her to change and then when presented with the opportunity, she just kind of squanders it. Granted, I get that there's a disparity and possible sadness in being friends/lovers with someone who will die much quicker than you will, but Alex's attitude still seems flippant, and I'd argue even OVERLY hedonistic. I get the drive for excitement, sure, but I'd say it's the opposite- humans because life is so fleeting might enjoy the fast pace life of 'fuck fight fly and die' that giants do according to the description you put out. To me, ageless (relatively) beings like Giants would find wisdom in age, etc. to me, my beef is that Alex seems an unbelievable character at times. I love her character, yes, and she does the job of being intriguing, but she does it to the point of almost beating a dead horse.

Two silly ones:
1. Why must you tempt me with your potential lesbianism???? I swear if Emilia is redheaded I will lose my shit.

2. Where is Alex keeping all those oxen?

3. 'Wait you're not tired?' 'Boy you're talkative!' '*rolls her eyes*'
Jesus. Alex was THAT girl in high school, huh.

Let me close this uncharacteristically negative wave by saying that I still love this story- it's heads and shoulders above 90% of what's on this sight for me, both in terms of fetish content and writing. No joke, it's like reading Pixis' Rowena for the first time again- just good, damn good stuff. You still get tenouttaten.

Looking forward to the final chapter and hopefully the epilogue. Also looking forward to your future stuff.

Author's Response:

Wow, thank you for the feedback on this one. Lessee how I can respond...

You definitely raise a good series of points with Alex. Though I think it's important to note that while she is hundreds of years old and definitely wise. She is still flawed however, and those flaws are what lead her to do anything she does. It might be best to think of her as someone who is overly sensitive, and instead of being hurt she plays it off and tries to cut ties before she gets too invested. Least that's what I think. Stories are all about interpretation.

 

Also for your silly question. She hunts all the Oxen haha. Just goes on a march and comes back with a tree skewer.

I would not be surprised if at the end of the story Alex reveals to Emil all the past Attendants actually live with her for the rest of their lives under her protection and in comfort.

Wow! This did not go the direction i expected. Seems like Alex has known her share of heartache- could she just be a lovesick woman hiding behind a rough visage? Also, im not convinced yet that the attendants are all done away with. But, I'm probably wrong.

love this story, Asterisk. thank you for sharing!

I think I agree with Nostory's theory. Maybe Alexandra has been waiting for the right human to spend their lifetime with. Someone who doesn't bore her after a year. This is all just guesses though. I was surprised to hear this story is ending so soon. It makes me kind of worried for Emil. Either way I'll be following it to completion.

I stupidly didn't read this story for a while, mainly because I thought she wasn't big enough for my tastes. I'm really glad I read it. It's very well written and I like Alexandra's character. I only have one question. In chapter 7 I believe, the chapter started by saying Emil was the 67th attendent, but later Alexandra says he is around the 200th. Which number is he really?

Author's Response:

He is Mr. 200. The 67th is named Erik and was a bit of a joke

Dude/dudette, this is turning out to be one hell of a story. Your characters are so well written, you can hint at more complex ideas behind the superficial story, and your writing is, in my opinion, top notch- rich and beautiful, saying just enough to keep it snappy and interesting while not skimping on anything. I truly wish I had your talent. This is easily my favorite GTS story in a long time. I really hope you keep this up.

Ye outstayed.

Alex is kind of cute when you overlook the murder but poor wolves.

A very exciting chapter, to say the least! Although, I thought there was a rule against the depiction of crushed animals.*

*Am I confusing that with Giantess City's policy?

Author's Response:

Oh boy was that a rule? If it is I'll put up a warning.

For appearances sake, huh? Could it be that Alexandra isn't the only one of her kind?

She's starting to grow on me, but I can't shake the feeling that the other shoe, er, grimy boot has yet to drop.

Really looking forward to more. Great stuff!

okay... okay... im still way unconvinced that this is all going to be sunshine and roses for Emil. I'd wager net loss, even. 

Excellent writing as always, you make great characters. tenouttaten 

Author's Response:

Well if you've gotta spend a year with someone before you die I'd rather she be nice. Haha

 

Glad you like it so far.
