Alright, I'll be patient then. But if you are still sort of in the intro phase, why not throw in a couple of problems that don't resolve themselves? It would make for much better reading. E.g. the manager/owner of the restaurant is prejudiced against mixed-size couples, but May, who is awesome, isn't magically there to fix the problem even before it arose. Again, that's just one example of what you could have done. Then Micha would have to scramble (and prove to the readers why they should care about him...), and there might be a strain on Juni so we get to see a hint of what might look like.

It's either that or longer chapters were something actually happens. You sort of say it yourself, you're talking about everyday stuff even though in this chapter he literally proposed to his gargantuan girlfriend. That should be a pivotal moment, not a "meh, we went to the restaurant and it was mildly annoying but it all turned out okay"-kinda thing. Just my two cents. You don't have to go overboard right away but even solving everyday problems can be interesting so long as they have to be solved (and it's actually really interesting from the tiny perspective, it adds so much). Thanks for your reply!

I can see where you're coming from. Unfortunately, I can't go into any more detail on why I chose specific plot points, character motivations, etc without getting into spoiler territory (which isn't fun for anyone). All I can say is that these choices are intentional. Oh and if you want to chat my discord/email is in my bio. I don't want to flood the review section with a back and forth :)

Nice to see this back, but I would have wished for things to go a little bit harder. Micha is already an extremely lucky prick for having Juni (what does she see in him again?), so he should have to fix or circumnavigate some problems on his own rather than everything virtually resolving itself by accident. I don't want to sound too harsh, and maybe I'm overthinking it, but I'd really love to see some grim reality in this thing. But maybe that's just me. Can't wait for the next chapter.

Thanks for the review! To answer your question, what Micha perceives as big problems really aren’t that serious so they resolve somewhat easily. So far just daily slice of life things. He’s pretty unaware of the main conflict. So when that bubble pops… well, let’s just say it won’t be so simple. Anyways, thanks for reading :)
