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

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.

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.

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.
