Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19
Sorry for not writing this review sooner. My stupid-stupidness didn't see this new chapter in the Most Recent page when it came out >:( Which is unfortunate as I really look forward to each chapter... stupid me and my stupid sleep schedule. Earl stupid of stupid town - his royal highness King Stu Pid IV - baka of bakas.
Anyway! I LOVED this chapter! It did everything it needed to and more - fixing the only real gripe I had with this story (there being too many characters introduced at one point) by sprouting off and giving focus to each one individually. With them being interesting and given distinguishable qualities that didn't fall under eccentricities. That's a really impressive feat! Their characters were subtle but also blatant (meaning they were easy to get the gist of) in their approaches - especially considering how many were introduced.
I already know that this review is gonna be a long one so I'm gonna do this to structure it better:
Intro: (Thomas and Tiffany)
At this point, (continuing on the thought of Chapter 18 being a turning point), I think this is as far as Tiffany and Thomas go in their development. As in, I think the way their interactions and everything have reached the point at which they've excepted each other and the only further development will be when this solace is disrupted - to test how much they actually and truly feel for each other (which has been done - but not to a dire extent).
Cecilia:
Definitely have a better grasp on her now - getting a sort of Asuka vibe. Her personality to me is that of someone how does care about what she believes in, but also on the other hand, also does it because it makes herself feel like a better person in a situation where she is dominant.
Maybe, that's why she decided to mother these tinies because people in the giant world saw her wealth and power and where too intimidated - maybe that's why she decided to become the center of these people's lives - as she couldn't connect with people in her own world.
Trisha:
To me, she seems like an interesting character to be developed. I want to see more scenes with her in the future to flesh out who she is - what type of person she is and whether or not she turns out to really care for her tiny. At this point she just seems confused so I wonder what it'll be like when she inevitably breaks - either in acceptance or denial. If you get my drift. I just mean that I think she'll be interesting to watch grow.
Bree:
Possibly my favourite of all the new characters. She's just an embodiment of absolute innocence within this story of arguably detestable/flawed natured characters. To me she's the only truly innocent and likeable character right off the bat of their introduction - like she isn't hiding anything. Whether that'll change or not I don't really know. But for now I appreciate her as being a relaxing and gentle character.
Blair:
What can I really say about that interlude?
...more like Inter-LEWD
Awww fam yeh cuz that was like bareeeeeeeee jokes man init bruv. Like - no neck, mothers. I swear down. You chatting my language?
Beverly/Zeke:
I've seen quite a few reviews already hypothesising the impending situations that may challenge Beverly's character so I don't think I need to here. But I have to say, I do see their relationship getting rather bitter-sweet/tragic by the end...
Regardless, I'm PUMPED to see what happens next. I've been enticed in this story since the first few chapters. And whilst I was initially drawn by the centralised narrative (and I'll admit a bit apprehensive about all the new characters coming in all at once). I now love the very natural direction the story has taken. I look forward in seeing what comes in the next few chapters.
(Just a tiny note, I noticed a few spelling errors here and there - like the very last word. I don't mean to be rude by saying this. I just thought making it known to you would be best if you were unaware)
See ya! ;)
Author's Response: Author's Response: Hey MM! Man, you guys are killing with the reviews! Thank you so much! I guess chapter 19 was the best chapter so far. Btw, you're not a baka lol Sorry about some of the mispellings and grammar errors. It's sad that I actually thought I proofread this chapter properly -_-
I think I'm the real baka here...
Your analysis on the girl was interesting but just to clear any confusions, Gwen is the giantess and Trisha is her tiny lol I was actually more intrigued with your analysis of Bree. ^.^ She really does appear sweet and innocent, doesn't she? In fact, when I wrote her part in this chapter, I originally wanted the mother to reject her even after she sees Bree trying to comfort her son but I couldn't bring myself to have the titaness sweetheart go through that. The way you weighted out Bree's innocent nature compared to the other detestable/flawed girls from the meeting had me thinking I was reading a wikipedia page about an anime character's bio. It really got me hype lol.
Your deduction on Cecilia's kind treatment of the tinies to fill in that empty hole she has was another clever character analysis on your part. You truky have a sharp mind, man. I'm honestly a bit intimidated. :')
As for Tiffany's and Thomas's relationship, I have a feeling you and the other reviewers have an idea of whats going to happen next and the same goes for Zeke's and Beverly's relationship.
Thank you again for yet another review and btw, which Asuka from which anime were you referring to?
