Every single girl had to be a psycho in that dorm room, huh? I would have liked at least one gentle girl. Also, I know you said you don't want them to be shrunken, but they have a lot of bad karma, so even if there were just a chapter where they suffer in mundane manners (murder, assault etc) would be a nice catharsis since knowing these bitches are living the good life doesn't leave a pleasant feeling. Still good cruel content throughout the story.
Author's Response:
I mean, I felt like every girl was cruel in their own different ways. I thought it would take away from the realism if they were to be punished. These girls had absolute power and the lesson was that they never got punished. I know in future stories, there will be characters who I dedicate to being gentle.

Hi panzer,I am a fan of yours in China and although I am not very good at reading English, I can feel how great your writing and ideas are. I would like to see more stories from this universe. Can I translate it into Chinese and upload it to the Chinese forum?
Other than that, can I give you a few suggestions? I would like to see more stories that happen in this universe. I hope this time the story can be a little bit gentler and have a good ending. You could also use real life celebrities as the main characters, I'm sure that would be great!
Author's Response:
I don't think I could use real life celebrities, but there might be a story including people based off of celebrities coming in the future.

First off, congratulations on finishing this story and delivering a satisfying conclusion for all the characters. You've definitely raised the bar. Reading the last few chapters, a lot stands out.
(SPOILERS)
Overall, there was a good balance between the petty young adult drama and the struggles of the micros below, with so many intense giantess interactions as well as genuinely heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. Asif's death had me torn. On one hand, it's sad that he got squished after everything he went through. On the other, it's nice he at least spent his final moments happy, finally getting the attention of his "angel".
Above all, it's impressive how the different roommates began as simple college girl stereotypes, yet developed into both murderous deities and, surprisingly enough, realistic characters too. Miranda's growth was very interesting. At first, her idea of helping her shrunken city didn't seem all that realistic. But later on, it all made sense. Her desire to help people was probably fueled by the need to have control over those weaker and more helpless than herself. So, it's no wonder she became a nurse. Also, the final scene with Miranda ending the last of her people with a heartfelt hug was a sweet metaphor for her character as a whole.
All in all, it was an excellent read from start to finish. Amazing work!
Author's Response:
Thank you, it wasn't my plan initially to divert from the stereotypes too much, but it became way more fun to give the characters a complexity. Yeah, Asif was a tough one to write, but I think it's better because he would have eventually see his angel turn into a demon, so I think he got out at the right time. Miranda was always bad, she just had the wrong reasons for being the "good" one in the story, it was always about control, feeling in power, even though she wasn't really a murderer until the end, she was always a spoiled girl with too much power. Thank you, yeah the hug at the end represented way more than just killing micros, it was about her and how she was throughout the story, literally killing people with too much kindness.

Wow. I can't believe it's done. Mad respect for sticking with it through all the years just like you promised.
I'm like how at the end there were no consequences for the girls. It really fit the theme of them being unstoppable deities to the micros throughout the story, in my opinion.
That last "scene" leaves me with questions, but I'm hyped at the thought of making a universe of these stories.
I can't applaud you enough for writing Grove View and sharing it with us. It truly is one of the best ones out there if you ask me, and I'm glad we can continue to look forward to more to come.
Author's Response:
It was hard sticking with it for sure for that long. Thank you for your support for so long in response. I hope I can answer those questions soon with a few of the other things I'm working on.
Yeah, the no consequences for the girls, in my opinion, had to happen. They were too powerful and spoiled, unless I broke reality again shrunk them, or sent them to a random city, but I just don't think that fits the theme of what these girls did or the rest of the story. The micros were made to suffer, not the girls, that was the whole point, right? lol

Well Miranda sucked just as bad as others, so sad for Natalie to, man these bitches deserve death and I would hope something happens to them but I know it won’t, I hope at least Miranda is haunted by there ghosts for the rest of her life
it Was a good story but I think I will be done with this verse for the time being.
Author's Response:
Yeah, Miranda was never good to begin with, she just hid her cruelty under the guise of acting self-righteous and elitist about how she treated her people, which was like a pet rather than a city. They absolutely deserved to be punished for what they did, but how? All the micros were powerless, the girls were indestructible, they were gods, and nobody else knows what they did. Justice for them, in my opinion, was never an option. I know some people wanted that, for the girls to shrink or whatever and die, but that just wasn't my narrative for this one. Future stories will be different, consequences will be there.

Finally had a chance to catch up and read this update. Nice work on this chapter! I just love your writing style so much.
The section dealing with Isabella was superb. The perspective of her footwear towering over the tiny population was such a great way to symbolize their place in the world. And the single drip of water falling from her body was a really good way to emphasize their helplessness too. Her careless attitude with squishing them too quickly, or accidently, just from not paying attention, was also super hot because of how good your writing is. And the way she demanded her red heels to be cleaned, and then just ending up crushing them, was everything I love in a giantess as far as casual cruelness goes.
But to be honest, that scene with Miranda just cumming on the little city was surprisingly hot. Nice work with that section. I had a feeling that when she told Natalie to pick a new mayor, that it wasn’t going to end well… ha, and just crushing the new mayor with her finger was super fun to read. And wow, poor Asif, lol.
Great job with this chapter and this whole story in general, actually. I’m looking forward to reading your last chapter. Bitter sweet though, this is one of the greats on this site.

Dude, nice work man. I loved Ana's reflection in the beginning of the chapter... I almost felt sorry for her too. But man, when she squished a bunch of Miranda's tiny people between her toes, right in front of her, that was just fantastic. Great job, again.
Author's Response:
I was hoping to make her likeable and not likeable at the same time this chapter haha. Thank you so much.

Another great chapter. The scenes with Lacy, Jessica, and Ana are just so incredibly well written and fun to read. And of course, the Biraal city POV sections are my favorite... your writing from their tiny persepctive is always top notch. Definitely sad to see this coming to an end!

Thank you! It was really fun to write as well.

Fifty chapters!!! Incredible job overall, and this one's no exception. Loved Lacy's brief hesitation and final decision and how the three of them each brought something of their own ........to the table... XD XD. Also I'm glad that they are close enough now to be able to poke fun at each other without getting all pissy. Never really thought I'd say this, but I think I might actually be a little sad once it's all over, now that it's almost there... haha.

Excellent worldbuilding! The callbacks in this chapter to previous events really helped put things into perspective and the reveal of Sabine's true motivation was such a tragic twist. I honestly have no idea how this story will end, but if one thing's for certain, all hell is about to break loose for everyone living in that apartment, both big and small.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much. I wanted to audience to get to know Sabine and her motivations for sure, to show people that Miranda isn’t all that great of a person either. And you're right, it really is all about to break loose.

Another great chapter! Really really really happy to see you adding to the story again. I really enjoyed reading about how they lived under her heel. That was super hot. Also, the raw power from just turning off the light and closing the door... how a simple movement can alter the lives of so many people. But then again, that's one of the biggest reasons I love this story. The tiniest of movements from the giant girls can cause such a devastating toll on the tiny people. This was really great to read, your writing is so well done that you make me feel like I'm really there, experiencing everything myself.
I'm looking forward to reading about Sabine's plan!

Wow, I saw the story had been updated and I got really excited. But then I was even more suprised to see there were a slew of chapters I haven't read yet! I added the story to my favoirtes so I don't miss out on future updates (I always forget to do that).
Anyways, this chapter I read tonight, was nothing short of phenomenal. You write the story at a pace that I envy. The bit in Jessica's room from the perspective of the tiny group was amazing. And the scene as her foot came down and crushe dthem into the carpet was... genius; perfect discription, great pace, great flow... your writing style made me feel like I was really there.
Well, I've got some catching up to do. But it's extremely hard with this story... I never make it too far before I lose it. One of my favs on the site. Thanks for updating it!
