I am intrigued. Please continue!

First off, I just want to point out that "dawning" is a word, but the word you are actually looking for when it comes to putting on clothing is "donning" which is pronounced the same but spelled differently. You might want to do a quick search and replace to fix that in this and some previous chapters. I noticed it before but it happened a number of times in this one so I thought I should point it out.

Now with that out of the way, I'll say it was interesting some of these unique manners of death for the tinies in this chapter which I don't recall ever seeing in a giantess story before (though possibly it has happened in some story I haven't read). The smashing of a district of the male city with Kristen's chewed gum, and the thousands of Ginny's volunteers being cooked in that plastic bag inside of Kristen's car. That latter one being not only a unique way to kill off a bunch of tinies, but also a very horrific, prolonged, and torturous way to die. I'm certain that none of them would have volunteered to get into that bag had they known the fate that awaited them.

I also feel bad for Ginny who was denied being able to enjoy her "tiny drugs" thanks to Kristen's poor handling of them. :( If only Kristen hadn't been in such a hurry, and if she had stopped there first, then everything would have been fine.

As for the thousands of men crushed by Kristen's gum, at least their deaths weren't quite so agonizing. But it is pretty shitty that their deaths were undeserved and caused by the female city making up lies about them. Hopefully the female city will not go unpunished, and Kristen won't go easy on them just because they're women.

Hey, here's an idea: why not kill two birds with one stone and have Kristen "volunteer" thousands of the women from Tiny Paris to be handed over to Ginny in order to replace the tinies that died in the heat of her car? This way, Ginny gets her "tiny drugs", and at the same time the women get punished for lying and causing those men to die without reason. And it definitely WOULD be a punishment for them, because unlike those volunteers they probably wouldn't enjoy the forced Lesbian interactions Ginny would put them through. But we, the readers, would. ;) Kristen could also inform Ginny of what these women had done and tell her that they are to be punished, to make extra sure that they are. But of course it is entirely up to you.

Another great chapter! I personally don't mind these generally peaceful chapters where there isn't a whole lot of destruction. The less things get destroyed, the longer things can last and the more the story can be prolonged, which I am definitely all for. :)

So Nyla finally received her long overdue and well-deserved comeuppance? This wasn't the way I was expecting it to happen, but to be honest I didn't know what to expect. First Anton got his, and now Nyla. I think this probably wraps it up for all the original tiny "villains". The only exception I can think off offhand is that unnamed Assassin who tried to kill Justyna a long time back. The city he was in (and several others) got obliterated, but that doesn't mean he himself got killed. Necessarily. Though even if he is still somehow alive, what potential harm could he be? Still it would be very interesting to revisit him and his fate.

Anyway, as for Nyla, even though she certainly didn't deserve it, the "tour of Ostrov" Kristen had considered for her sounded like an interesting idea. Too bad it won't ever happen now though. Ah well. :)

Frankly, if you ask me I think Nyla got off WAY too easy. After threatening to murder Kristen's daughter? Yes, I know it was a LONG time ago, but just for that alone, I'm surprised Kristen didn't devise some special punishment that would be very slow and agonizing. Instead she just got squished in an instant. The same fate Kristen inflicts on countless people even by accident all the time.

One good thing though is Kristen was able to limit the destruction JUST to Nyla inside of her tower so no one else had to die. That's a big improvement over how she had been in some recent chapters. 

As for why she let Nyla's threat to kill Maddie slide all those years ago, its been a long time since I've read that part, but if I recall correctly, all the way back then she wasn't yet familiar with each leader of every city personally. She didn't know who Nyla was or who made that threat initially. I don't remember it ever being explicitly said that she found out it came from Nyla, though obviously in this chapter its clear she had worked it out it was her. But of course by then so much time had passed, so yeah... still, threatening your child is a big deal, so I dunno.

Your writing of Justyna's emotions and her dilemma is very good and feels very authentic. She is clearly a good woman and wants what is best for her people, but not everyone understands these tough choices she is forced to make, which is why she ends up facing assassination attempts, rebellions, and the like. These people want someone who would fight back against Kristen, but don't understand this would mean the death of Ostrov. Its definitely not ideal, but Justyna has managed to keep the country mostly alive. Its unlikely anyone else could have done as well of a job as she has, and most would probably have seen Ostrov ended up completely destroyed by now. Kristen is a brat and very tough to deal with. Justyna does as well at it as anyone possibly could. Doing so after the loss of Niko is especially tough. This takes a lot of strength.

As for the worshipers of Kristen's shoes, its completely understandable that she wants them gone. If I may make a suggestion, I hope they don't just simply get wiped out, but maybe Kristen could collect them and transplant them somewhere? Since they love Kristen's shoes so much, maybe they could found a new city inside her shoe closet? Or something like what Ginny did with her followers inside that Terrarium thing? Or place them into the Micro room and have them establish a new Nano city in there like I had suggested before at one point. Lots of potential things that could be done with them. I just hope they're not just wiped out summarily. Because good worshipers (ones that actually volunteer) like that are hard to come by. :)

As for those shoe-cleaners in Braithe, its good for them that Nyla's tyranny has ended, and now they can get proper equipment and medical care. Still though, with all those "criminals" that Kristen is having rounded up and imprisoned, maybe some of them could be punished by being forced to clean her shoes as hard labor? If she has a really grueling task and wants it done in a hurry and the volunteers alone aren't up for it, then these "bad people" can be put to work. And I have "bad people" in quotations because we all know that even with the best of intentions mistakes will happen, and that definition of "bad" will be stretched a lot. Kristen can be quite arbitrary sometimes, you know. :)

Oh yeah, and it was good to hear from Leslie again in this chapter. I wonder if she'll ever stop by again to check in on those "toy people"? That would definitely be fun, but maybe TOO fun. ;) Though I would love to see what she would have to say about her bootprints left a permanent impression in Ostrov, and how they're still there all these years later. And how one of the Micro cities has been renamed "Port Leslie" in honor of her. I wonder how she would feel about these things. Though she certainly was very dominant and VERY destructive, she didn't seem to get any special enjoyment out of it the way Kristen, Ginny, and now Janelle have. But she is good at being bossy and domineering nonetheless. Like she said herself, she could sort out those "toy people" by lunch. :)

Kristen could put that bold claim to the test by letting Leslie work her magic. But as with the first time, it would probably be hugely destructive. But just letting Leslie take home a few thousand "volunteers" would mean things wouldn't get too crazy, and then Leslie could prove what she is capable of by whipping those "volunteers" into shape like she said. That would be pretty fun in any case, and Leslie could just keep them as her own city like what Ginny is doing. She might not care about playing around with "toy people" like the other girls, but maybe they can be of use to her for her work related stuff somehow?

Anyway, those are my thoughts. :)

Wow! That was a surprise twist at the end, with the implied (but hopefully not really) demise of Niko. You are right about this being your longest chapter so far, and it was well worth the wait. Thank you for writing it.

The demise of Anton, on the other hand, is something I did expect to happen for a long time. On one hand, maybe this was long overdue considering what a creep he was, but then again there probably won't be another quite like him. That's mostly a good thing, but his weird and creepy obsession with Kristen had its uses for the development of the story.

It will be interesting to see how Parker handles the running of Crest now that Kristen appointed her to be Anton's successor. But I'm curious whether the people of Crest themselves will entirely accept the idea. They won't really have much choice if Kristen forces it on them, but Parker is an outsider from a different city and presumably a different world altogether. Will the culture of Crest allow them to accept an outsider (one whom their previous legitimate ruler wanted to kill too btw) as their new queen or whatever? Obviously they live under some monarchy steeped in tradition, and not only is Parker an alien, but she also isn't royalty. She certainly isn't their legitimate royalty. But of course Kristen can brute force her on them anyway whether they like it or not. Still, I think some of the Old Guard in Crest may offer up some resistance. If you're looking for ideas for "criminals" to be rounded up for Kristen's judgement, some Old Guard "Anton Loyalists" or whatever you want to call it in Crest is a suggestion. ;)

One thing I myself will miss about Anton is his creepy collection and veneration of things like Kristen's toe nail and so on. I don't think Kristen herself ever even knew about this stuff, so I'd be curious to see how she'd have reacted to it. BTW, this kinda sorta reminds me of a weird obsession which the former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddaffi had with former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, where he had weird stuff about her in his compound and when she found out about it she was creeped out about it. That's the closest sort of real life analog I'm aware of of Anton and his Kristen obsession.

As the new queen of Crest, I guess Parker will inherit Anton's creepy collection of Kristen mementos. It will be interesting because she herself sorta venerates Kristen as a goddess (just as many tinies do), even if not to the same weird extent as Anton did. Maybe she would keep this stuff around? Or maybe its too much and she would dispose of it? It would be an interesting topic should she go into a voice call with Kristen and there is some giant toe nail or hair or whatever in the background which would then have to be explained. :)

That said, Parker has endured SO much. She really truly does deserve this break of being elevated to royalty, and as you wrote, she couldn't be worse than Anton at the very least, even if she sustained some brain damage. It will be interesting to see how things play out. Maybe you could have her get into contact with Justyna again? I think it would be cool for them to reconnect, only now as one "queen" to another. When Justyna first saw her, Parker was some giant soldier girl who saved her regime from being toppled by rebels and (unfortunately) literally pissed on her people; but now this humble military giant is the queen of a "sovereign" (in quotations because none of these cities are truly sovereign under Kristen's oppressive rule) realm, not completely unlike Justyna and her command of Ostrov. It would be quite a transformation and Justyna would probably marvel at it.

I assume that micros and nanos can send transmissions to one another between the rooms, right? And if not, then maybe its something Kristen could facilitate through an inter-room video conference. Either way that would be cool and hope it happens.

As for Justyna... her pregnancy is a major plot development to say the least. While this wasn't something I was expecting, it does make perfect sense given the amount of like non-stop fucking that she and Niko were doing. Again, I hope he isn't dead even though that was strongly implied at the end... if he is dead it would be something Justyna would most likely never be able to forgive Kristen for. Obviously this is the sort of thing Justyna does NOT need to go through right now, especially with the enormous complication of being pregnant. This is going to be a very tough time for her and I hope she'll make it, but man... this is some really rough shit.

If the micros and nanos didn't have enough legit reason to hate Kristen already, then this chapter in particular gives them plenty of further reason. She was a real major bitch in this chapter. Possibly moreso than in any other chapter to date so far. Destroying an entire city just because they didn't vote the way she wanted them to was just petty and childish, you know? Its the sort of thing you'd expect a 7 year old child like Maddie to do if she were in charge, but not a 35 year old grown woman. No excuse for it, quite frankly.

And also those cities she destroyed in the nano room. Whether or not she killed Niko, she definitely did kill numerous people just by being a petty childish bitch. So yes, any hatred that tinies hold towards her is very much justified in my opinion. Especially now, because she is transforming into a cruel psychopathic bitch. Its been a huge change from where she was at the start of the story.

Justyna is absolutely right for not wanting to bring a child into "her world" (referring to Kristen). I'd imagine most tiny women in the rooms would feel similarly on the matter. The birth rates among the tinies is probably really low, while meanwhile their death rate is catastrophically high. This doesn't bode well for them surviving until Maddie can be introduced to them as an adult.

Even as a psychopath who doesn't care about the lives of the tinies at all and only cares about her daughter above anything else, I still think a case could be made that Kristen shouldn't want to get too destructive and would want to keep them going just for Maddie's sake, right? If a whole city or multiple cities get snuffed out per chapter and at the same time few tinies are being born, then there's not going to be anything left for Maddie to inherit and be a goddess over. Does Kristen want to deny that experience to her daughter? So that's one way to look at it even if she has no empathy at all whatsoever for the tinies. She should still want to preserve them for Maddie's sake, right?

But I do hope that Kristen has some empathy for the tinies in her, or at least some empathy for some of the tinies, like Justyna. Enough to pull her back from the precipice of this cruel monster she is fast becoming. Maybe this development of Justyna's pregnancy is the sort of development that save her from falling further into that abyss?

I would think it might remind her of herself when she was pregnant on that night all those years ago when the tinies were teleported into the rooms. Does Kristen really want to be a cruel monster to Justyna, this woman who she should be able to relate to in this matter because she herself was like that once?

Again, I hope that Niko survived (somehow), but if that isn't the case it would make the child in Justyna's belly all that much more important, because it would be the last thing she has left of Niko, and he didn't want her to terminate it. Yet it also makes sense to not want to bring a child into a world ruled a giant psychopath, so this definitely puts Justyna between a rock and a hard place. I'm not sure how you'll navigate through it but I'm very interested to see how this develops. Personally I hope she does keep it, and I also hope Kristen dials back on the evilness at least enough so that Justyna wouldn't regret her decision.

If you are open to suggestions, I have an idea on how you could navigate this sensitive issue without making things too controversial. I know you don't want to write about children in this story, but unfortunately many children have inevitably been subjected to all the cruel abuses that the adults have. But I have an idea how you could cut that down to a minimum or even completely eliminate it. Just have Kristen setup some safe area for children, pregnant women, and those who care for them. Just like how she divided that one city up into a city for males and females. She could do the same in order to protect children so they don't end up dying, or getting exposed to her masturbating, or whatever which children shouldn't be frankly. This safe designated area probably shouldn't even be within the rooms anyway. That way anything she or her friends do in the rooms it would be guaranteed that no children would be harmed by it. It could be inside of a locked jewelry box in her bedroom or something, and inside they would have all the amenities and not lack for anything, but most importantly is that they would be safe. As a mother herself, this is something Kristen should see as a priority. Then when those children reach adulthood, they can be taken back to their respective people in the rooms or something like that.

If you want to eliminate all interaction with children, that's how you can do it. At the same time, this would increase the birthrate of the tinies because they would feel more assured about it. In fact, women might deliberately seek to get pregnant just so they can escape to the safety and luxury of this place from that harsh world they have endured the past 7 years. And now that the security force has come into existence, it would allow this to be carried out more seamlessly. But yes this is a difficult thing to navigate, but if you want my suggestion on this, that would be it. Most people will agree that children should be protected. Even evil psychopath Kristen might be able to spare some empathy for the children in the rooms at the very least, and spare them from her shenanigans. And like I said this is also important for the long term survival of the tinies, because if they keep dying and not being born then that would be a genocide. So again, she should try to avoid that for Maddie's sake at LEAST, right?

One more thing on this topic... if Justyna does keep her child this would have some interesting possibilities when things jump ahead years into the future when Maddie becomes an adult and gets introduced to the rooms. Hopefully Justyna and Ostrov and so on manage to survive until that point, and if Justyna's child is born and survives until then too then she could retire from being the leader of Ostrov and hand the office over to her (now adult) child. It would be kinda like Kristen and Maddie, but from the opposite perspective of those who live at their feet. We see how people who were born in a normal reality struggle to cope with this situation, but seeing how those who were born and raised in that situation handle it would be interesting. I also hope Maddie and Justyna's child could become friends similarly to how Kristen and Justyna are. Or maybe "friend" isn't the right word given Kristen's cruel treatment of Justyna in this chapter... but I dunno. Let's call it a working relationship or something?

You know, its kinda funny how Maddie threw her bratty tantrum over how impatient she was to see what is in the rooms. It won't be until many years from now that she will find out how fortunate she truly is. She doesn't know it yet, but she won the proverbial jackpot by getting to become a goddess (assuming things survive until then); it would have been far more likely to ended up as one of those unlucky children born in the tiny rooms. Maddie thinks its "so unfair" she doesn't get to go into those rooms. Wait until she does get to go in there, and then she will understand who REALLY has it unfair. Hopefully she won't be as much of a bratty psychopath as her mother, but her behavior in this chapter doesn't bode well... :(

Poor Justyna's unborn child (and all the others in Ostrov and the cities). They're the ones who REALLY have it unfair, and if they throw tantrums like Maddie did, they at least have every right to feel that way in my opinion. Its a shitty situation. But I gave my suggestion on how it could be handled to make it a lot less shitty for them anyway.

Oh! Another thing... you know how this all started 7 years ago with that storm teleporting those cities into the rooms when Maddie was born? Well, Justyna's pregnancy has given me a really crazy idea. Bear with me here... but what if something just like that were to also happen for Justyna on the day when her child is born? What I mean to say is... what if a bunch of even smaller cities, a country or two, etc... get teleported into rooms within Justyna's palace? Like I said that would be a CRAZY idea, but wouldn't that be COOL? :) Then we could see if Justyna would fall into the same abyss of psychopathy as Kristen and her friends, OR if she'd be better than that. It would put the matter to the test. It would let her see Kristen's perspective on things. It would also (maybe) give her some much needed stress relief (?). And also something she could one day pass down to her own child.... if things manage to last. Would be really weird to have tiny cities/countries inside of rooms within another tiny city/country that in turn is inside of a giant room. Not only would these tinies have Justyna the goddess to worry about, but an even larger goddess ontop of that. I don't know... weird idea, but it would be cool in my opinion. :)

Anyway, that's my longwinded review/rant on your epic and likewise long chapter. Keep up the great work!

Yep, this was definitely a long chapter, and those are the best ones in my opinion! I understand its a lot of work but its definitely appreciated, not just by me but also from the other reviews I see. But don't feel like you need to hurry or anything. Just go at whatever pace works best for you.

I wanted to see in the Table of Contents just exactly how long this chapter was exactly in comparison to the others, because it shows a word count there, but for some reason this chapter is glitched out... at least for me. But yep I can tell it is very long.

So there's only about 20 or so cities in the micro room? Well, one less now thanks to Janelle's sweaty sock. :) Its good that Kristen and Ginny are starting to realize the tiny people are a finite resource and they can't be too destructive if they want to keep this going over the long term. That's the downside of bringing more people into the secret, because it means more destruction. And also not the greatest idea to give a new inductee cart blanche to do something destructive like that, because clearly some people will go overboard with it. I know the city wasn't being used for anything, but there's always some potential new use idea that could come up. Like, Kristen could use them in her experiments or something. I dunno.

Personality wise, Janelle kinda seems similar to Leslie in that over the top destructiveness. Part of me kinda hoped Leslie would return at some point, but I guess Janelle kinda feels that same sort of niche. Also, Leslie seemed more indifferent to them than anything. Janelle enjoys destroying them, but Leslie just did it to get them out of the way. Its not entirely the same thing.

Anyway, I guess Janelle kinda had a point about that city being crime-ridden and mostly no good. As a cop, I guess it gives her a good understanding of that sort of thing. I kinda want to say that she had the right sort of attitude for dealing with the rebels in Ostrov a few chapters back, but at her size it would have been massively overkill. Parker was able to handle it with much more finesse, so yeah.

As for the academy and the micros setting up a police force, I definitely think that Janelle being a cop herself should be involved in that. She could use her real world experience to give them advice and direct things. I dunno. Since Kristen and Ginny have their respective cities of dedicated worshipers, maybe the city with the police force could be the ones dedicated to Janelle or something? Kristen could have them answer to Janelle directly or something, and she could direct them on how to enforce law and order so that other cities don't end up like Climax did.

Another thing is that maybe she could take some of the Micro cops and use them herself in her own line of work or something? Micro cops could be useful in the big world to help solve big people crimes, and stuff like that. Janelle could send them in to eavesdrop or look for evidence or stuff like that in ways that a normal sized person wouldn't be able to or would need a warrant or something, but with their help Janelle could do things "off the books", so to speak.

Another great chapter! I'm glad it came much quicker than the wait the last one took, but take however much time is necessary and convenient for you with your schedule.

I don't know how much this matters to anyone else, but I really do appreciate the lore and details about Ostrov which Justyna provided during the conversation. This sort of world building matters because it adds depth and makes Ostrov a real place with a real history and culture, which actually matters, instead of just some disposable colony of ants or something like that, which is typically the case when it comes to most stories of this kind (though there aren't many anyway). With these sorts of details, the country comes to life as a REAL place with a REAL history and full of REAL people. And now it is completely at the mercy of Kristen, Ginny, and whoever. It makes whatever they do MUCH more impactful, you know?

Loved the part where Kristen dumps the 17 micros into her ass, and they sought refuge in her anus but she likely killed them all with a fart. Haha! :) Really makes me wonder about the fate of poor Luka and the thousands of other nanos lost deep inside the vast cavern of Ginny's rectum, how long they might manage to hold out there, and what Ginny herself thinks about them being inside of her.

Good to see Rasha return to the story. Both she and Janelle are the only ones aside from Kristen and Ginny who have seen the tiny cities/country, but as far as they are aware its just some "art project" or something. That said, depending on what Rasha managed to see and hear during her eavesdropping through the fence, she might now be aware that there is something weird going on, even if she can't figure out precisely what. Will be interesting to see whatever conversation she has with Janelle on the topic of what they think is in those rooms, since its something they've both actually seen.

Realistically speaking, if something like this ever did really happen I'm not sure what Janelle actually could do in this situation, if she found out there were all these tiny people for real in Kristen's house and that many of them have been murdered by her. Would any government in our world recognize these tiny people as human and the laws applying to them? They're not citizens of any recognized country or even of this world. I don't know if there could be a basis for Janelle to arrest Kristen on any of this. Realistically, all the tiny people would probably end up in some Area 51 government research facility and not necessarily have any better fate than being left in Kristen's house where they were.

The line you wrote about Kristen thinking about the Academy recruits maybe maintaining security in Ostrov is interesting. Considering just how much destruction Parker alone was able to cause and how the rebels were unable to stop her despite hitting her with everything they've got, its probably massively overkill to have even more than just ONE micro in the nano room to crush uprisings... unless of course the nanos manage to get nuclear weapons or something.

That said, I think realistically speaking when the nanos hit Parker in the previous chapter with planes full of explosives and it almost killed her, I think it probably would have REALLY killed her. Because if the Micros are skyscraper-sized to the Nanos, and if even planes without explosives were enough to destroy the WTC on 9/11, then I think it should have been enough to have killed Parker. That's just my thoughts though.

Anyway, having a security team of Micros in the Nano room is a cool idea, but it also creates the potential for a LOT of havoc... but that's part of why its such a cool idea I guess. :)

But its going to make the poor Nanos even that much more unhappy, and they're going to feel like (and actually be) much more tyrannized than they previously were up to that point. It gives Kristen (and Ginny or whoever) a much greater ability to impose their will on the nanos and make them do whatever they want. Being so small meant that Kristen couldn't see what they were doing or not doing, so they kinda had a lot of freedom in that sense, but with these micro enforcers as her eyes and ears, those days of that freedom are probably numbered. :)

Of course, its going to probably make Justyna even more frustrated too. Assuming that these micro enforcers are subordinate to her and actually respect her authority like Parker (mostly) did then things might be kinda okay, but that's a very big IF. But even assuming that they do, Justyna knows full well that she's really just Kristen's puppet. She might be the prime minister and reside in a royal palace, but its just a gilded cage, and her conversation with Kristen in this chapter made that abundantly clear. I'm sure that would become even MORE true when there's these micro "helpers" watching over things and enforcing Kristen's will and so on. Even if they're nominally subordinate to Justyna, its clear their real mistress is Kristen, ultimately.

But adding a bunch of micros into the dynamic also adds the potential that their could be some infighting among them. They could team up with some remants of the nano rebels (not that the nano rebels really bring much to the table themselves) and do a bit of rebelling themselves? Who knows. :)

Oh! Here's a couple interesting ideas I just thought of for you to consider:

How about Kristen expands on her experiment idea a bit further by having a new additional city be founded in the Micro room, only this city is made up of a large group of Nano settlers from Ostrov? I think it could be a cool idea with much potential to have this new Nano city join the other cities in that room, with their own mayor and whatever, and then they could also become part of the politics that goes on with stuff in that room... only they're nanos and a thousand times smaller. :) Think about it, like... their tiny city which is the size of just a skyscraper of one of the micro cities (or something) but they get their own place and their own voice and get to vote or whatever goes on with stuff there. The micro security team could make they are safe from micros invading and doing destruction (hopefully). They could also participate with whatever activities Kristen decides to make the cities do, just in their own nano way. :)

I'm not sure if they should still be considered to be part of Ostrov despite them being in the Micro room and far away from the rest of Ostrov, or if they just get spun off into their own independent thing. In the former case they would still see Justyna as their Prime Minister with whatever (limited) authority she has); or in the later their mayor would be their main authority (below Kristen, of course).

Alternatively, the other idea is the same thing, but just reversed. Have a bunch of colonists from the Micro room migrate into the Nano room, and then have them found a new Micro city there. Hopefully (for the Nanos) this new city would be in some uninhabited or perhaps already destroyed part of Ostrov where it wouldn't be any harm to the people of Ostrov. Again, this idea would have some cool potential for various interactions, I think. It could also be the place where the Micro security teams reside when they're not doing their security team stuff, as well as their families, and whoever else would need or want to be there.

Again, this Micro city in the Nano room could either be its own quasi-independent thing (subordinate only to Kristen herself), or they might be considered new citizens of Ostrov, and then Justyna would then become their (nominal) leader. I think it would be a really cool idea and would love to see how that would play out. :)

Another way to look at it is these could kinda be like sort of embassies between the two rooms if it went both ways. The nano city would speak for Justyna in interactions with the Micros, and vice versa. They could do cultural exchanges, perhaps some trade deals between the rooms, who knows. :)

If you decide to do this it would be a great topic for discussion the next time Justyna and Kristen have a conversation. Justyna might propose the idea, since maybe she needs the micro assistance for rebuilding/security, or maybe Kristen decides its "how its going to be" and Justyna has no choice in the matter. Woul be interesting to see how she reacts to having this massive (in size at least, if not also in numbers) of migrants imposed on poor tiny Ostrov. But it wouldn't be SO bad if these migrants are made citizens of Ostrov and (at least nominally) subordinate to her. At least they already speak the same language (for some reason) but they might need to adjust to the different culture, or something.

Anyway, I think I've rambled on for far too long. Sorry about that. Whether you liked my ideas or not, I look forward to your next chapter! :)

The length of the chapters isn't too long, and I think it is a good thing to be honest. The longer the chapter, the more it helps with the long wait in-between chapters. Don't worry about it. Go ahead and write them even longer if you want. If there is anyone that has a problem with too much text then they probably wouldn't have stuck around for all these 23 chapters anyway. Those of us who have stuck around obviously are fine with it, and those who aren't fine with it aren't even here reading it anyway, so don't worry about them.

That said, this was a great chapter for world building and character development, but it of course didn't top the previous one in terms of action and the sexual stuff. When it comes to that sort of thing, I think that last chapter was the peak of the story thus far. :)

I'm glad to see the story focusing more on the nano perspective in these latest chapters. The micro stuff was always good too, but nano content is just so rare, you know? That said, this chapter made me realize that the differences in size between the Micros and Nanos isn't as extreme as I had previously thought it was. I always knew the Micros were smaller than ants, but when you wrote of that tiny red ant being HUNDREDS of feet tall in comparison to them, it really put it into perspective how small the micros truly are. But if they're so small that even a tiny red ant is hundreds of feet tall compared to them, then would Kristen, Ginny, Rasha, and so on really even be able to see them with the naked eye? They'd be like, I dunno, motes of dust or something. The Nanos of course are even tinier still, but it seems that with an ant being hundreds of feet talle, even the micros themselves would be at the limit of what could be observed with the naked eye. And the Nanos of course are way past that.

Yet, the difference between them isn't as extreme as I had been thinking. I don't know why, but I had it in my mind this entire time that the Micros were as large relative to the Nanos as Kristen and the others are to them. But this chapter with the ant and Parker being placed in Ostrov and the nanos being half an inch to her (which is still small, but nowhere near the difference as Kristen is to the Micros) proved that isn't the case.

The insect attack was something I had suggested months ago, and I appreciate that you've included this as well as some other things I had suggested. I'm really happy to see you've reconsidered your earlier stance of not wanting the Nanos and Micros to interact with each other, which you said you didn't want to do again after you had done something like that in your previous story. The idea of one or more of the Micros like Parker entering Ostrov and serving as Justyna's enforcer on behalf of Kristen was something I had thought about some chapters back, and I'm glad to see it happen, and excited to see where it develops. There is a LOT of potential there.

That said, perhaps its for the best that the difference between Micro and Nano isn't that extreme after all, because this means that Parker won't be causing too much inadvertent death and destruction, yet at the same time she's a nigh unstoppable force, which only possibly the heaviest weapons could potentially harm or kill. A LOT of Nano nukes could maybe kill Kristen or whomever, but for a Micro like Parker it is certain they could, and in her case it would probably only take a single one. Maybe even conventional bombs with a high enough explosive yield could also do her in, or at least hurt her. But whether the rebels have access to stuff like that or not is for you to decide.

The part about the plane escaping (or attempting to escape) from the Micro room makes me think it might be an interesting idea to explore something like that for the Nanos too. Obviously a trek on foot or even by land vehicles for a Nano to explore other rooms in the house would probably take months or maybe even years, and the logistics would be hard if not impossible to pull off, but when it comes to planes which can move at hypersonic speeds, well I dunno. Now that you have a Micro introduced into the Nano room, it could be an interesting idea to have some of the Nanos make there way into the Micro room for some reason or other.

Like I wrote in the last review I wrote, the plot in the previous chapter with the fighting over Ostrov's nukes made me think of Nyla and her desire to get revenge against Kristen. Well, the rebels in Ostrov also share that same desire, so they could strike up some sort of alliance with Nyla to give her nukes or something. I dunno. But since it looks like Parker is going to start laying the hurt down on the rebels, they might want to flee from Ostrov if they can manage it, and maybe a plane is the way they could do that. Maybe Nyla could give them asylum in Braithe. Maybe in exchange for them becoming her sex toys or something, since she no longer has her boy toy. ;) Nyla's dream of becoming a powerful giant herself could be fulfilled this way. They're so small that she could hide the whole plane and all its occupants in her office or something, and Kristen wouldn't necessarily ever even know about it. Just an idea to consider...

The sort of plane which Ostrov might have which might be able to make the journey into the micro room would probably be a strategic bomber plane, like the B-52 or the Russian Tu-60 or something equivalent to those. Those planes are meant to be in the air for long periods of time in case a nuclear war breaks out and then they can react at a moment's notice, so they carry a lot of fuel. So maybe they could make that journey.

Yet as large as these planes are, since they're nano scale they'd be much smaller than the plane that Ginny detected in this chapter. So it should easily be able to escape detection. As long as the doors to both rooms are open for long enough and no giant is in their path that would collide into, then they probably could make the journey. Aside from going to the Micro room, they could also go to some other room, but I can't think of a good rationale for them doing so. Since we know that both the Micros and Nanos are able to transmit messages to Kristen, isn't it reasonable that they're also able to transmit messages between each other too? The Micros and Nanos have probably been transmitting messages back and forth to each other all these years. So why not have it that Nyla has been in secret contact with these rebels or something? If Nyla can manage to get some of these Nano rebels into her city and under her control, then she could use them for clandestine purposes as spies or something she could send into other rival cities to get information or stuff like that. She could also put them to work cleaning her own shoes, since she's probably tired of being the director of the cleaning of Kristen's shoes, and maybe would like to have that sort of thing for herself for a change.

Or perhaps you could just have Nyla (or some other dissident Micro) get into the Nano room herself somehow, and wreck havoc on Ostrov, or perhaps do battle with Parker and give the rebels some sort of counterbalance or something to even things out. Its up to you but its an idea. :)

I loved the part about how something as inconsequential as a mere strand of Ginny's cum nearly caused Justyna's death by burying her hundreds of feet below that substance which hardened into something like concrete, and how the nanos struggled to make their way through, and it was too much for them and Justyna would have died if it wasn't for Parker's help. Its amazing when something as seemingly insignificant as a strand of cum can be so destructive... :)

Yet at the same time, as you wrote it was hard like stone when it dried, so what if the Nanos were to mine that dried out cum strand of Ginny's and used it for various purposes? There's a lot of things which they might do with it, but my main thought is they could quarry it out into "stone" blocks and then use it as a building material or something. If they're going to start worshiping Ginny as a literal goddess, then wouldn't it be great if they constructed some sort of magnificent temple dedicated to her which is built out of "stone" blocks of her dried cum? There is so much destruction going on, so the construction of that cum temple would be just a little bit of the opposite. And Ginny would probably get a real kick out of a massive temple constructed out of her cum. It could be built in some special safe area, which the giants would take extra care never to disturb. It could be like one of the Great Wonders of their world or something. ;) Imagine the smell the nanos would experience when they entered into that cum temple to worship the goddess who delivered that cum. That said, the same could also be true with the breast milk which Kristen squirted on them years earlier. I'm sure that dried out into a similar hard white material they could build with or something. Maybe even eat as food or something. A temple dedicated to Kristen, constructed from "stone" blocks quarried from her dried breast milk would be very fitting, and maybe its something women of Ostrov might eat as some sort of religious rite, thinking that it may increase their fertility or something like that. As the story progresses towards the development of this cult religion and eventually the introduction of Madelyn, it makes sense to me that the same breast milk the nourished her as an infant would take on some very special significance, and there is a LOT of it, in a dried form, that the Ostrovians would never deplete even in a thousand years.

Even putting religion aside, I'm certain that even from a rational scientific perspective, there would be a good reason to want to eat that dried breast milk since it has a lot of nutrients in it, because that's the whole point of breast milk, after all. And yes it brought death and detruction when it squirted out onto them years ago, but there's also some good to it and it can create and bring life too. I'd say its probably better than the vegan stuff Ginny feeds them, in any case. :)

Well, this one ended on a cliffhanger. I have to say I'm still disappointed the conversation between Justyna and Kristen never happened... well, I guess it did, but it was never covered in the story. Oh well.

But I am very interested to see where this is headed. I just hope that there will be something left of Ostrov and the cities by the time Kristen gets back from vacation. :) I like some amount of destruction, I just like it to be at a sustainable level and not like genocidal.

Though I'm sure millions will be dead by the time Ginny is done with playing with it and "helping" Justyna out in her civil war thing. Justyna can call Kristen and Kristen can pass any messages on to Ginny, but maybe Justyna could just somehow communicate to Ginny directly through her laptop somehow? I dunno.

The civil war creates an interesting situation where the mass destruction Ginny is certainly going to do is justified... sorta. It will be interesting to see how that plays out. You wrote that she wiped out her own supply of tinies that she had living in her bathroom, so she'll need to stock up on more of them. Why not have her stock up on some nanos and have them living in her bathroom also? She could only really collect them up on an individual basis if she employed the help of the Micros to do that, but she could just scoop up an entire nano city wholesale and take that off home with her.

So instead of (or in addition to) having micros living in her medicine cabinet, she could also have nano cities inside her medicine cabinet also. The interactions possible would definitely be very different, but there is some very interesting potential there. You could introduce new characters who are mayors of these cities, and perhaps somehow they are able to call her up and communicate with her like Justyna does with Kristen.

She could put those nano cities to work doing things like cleaning her toothbrush or various things like that... or she could place a nano city on her bike seat when she works out just like she did with the micros... with far greater potential for casualties if she plops her butt down.... stuff like that.

Also, here's an interesting thought... the Micros she had taken previously were all volunteers. But because of this civil war thing, Ginny could snatch and take home rebel cities that fight against Justyna and so they would be anything but volunteers, but this would be a way to punish them. She could put the cities inside her panty liner, inside of her shoes, in the toilet, etc. Not because they're devout fanatics who volunteered for it, but because they are rebels who rose up against her friend Justyna and this is their punishment. Of course, even within "rebel" cities there would unfortunately happen to be a lot of innocents who were just there, but those are the breaks when you're tiny.

This was an excellent addition, Panzer! I was expecting this chapter would feature the conversation between Justyna and Kristen, but I'll never complain about a slow rolling narrative. By all means, keep the narrative rolling as slowly as you like to. It is all the better for it, in my opinion.

These chapters from the perspectives of the tinies are well worth it. I understand it is not your favorite thing to write, but trust me,from the perspective of the reader it is well worth it. I guess its like how a steak is better when the butcher cuts the meat against the grain, which results in a more tender steak for the person who has to chew it with their teeth... something like that. Anyway, just saying the effort is appreciated even if its not your favorite thing to do. And as someone who has written a little bit myself, I can understand that.

The part you wrote with the man talking with the therapist in Servitus did an excellent job of conveying the psychological trauma their circumstances have had on the tinies, to find themselves on the floor of this giant woman, and all the associated horrors, tyranny, death and destruction surrounding this. The mental health impact this has caused to these millions of people is something that I wondered about myself awhile back. I'm glad to see this thought has occurred to you as well, and that you've addressed it with this segment. Again, it is a detail that I appreciate you've taken the time to write.

It does seem to me that Therapists would be one of those professions which would be in very high demand among the cities of the micros (and the nanos of Ostrov). So alongside the cleaning jobs, I imagine this would be among the top paying careers, since there is a lot of need for it.

Another thing aside from therapy which people often turn towards in difficult times of trauma like these people are experiencing is religion. And I see you are addressing this also in writing about the thousands of nanos making a pilgrimage to Kristen's heels and worshiping them. It does make sense some people would do something like that as a coping mechanism. I wonder also if it was something that Kristen herself thought would happen or hoped to encourage happening when she left those shoes there like she did.

Anyway, thinking about this further has given me some ideas I would like to suggest to you.  Kristen (and also Ginny) seem to be increasingly embracing the whole goddess thing, and it seems that many micros (and now nanos) are starting to embrace this also. But my question (and suggestion) revolves around this: what is their current religion(s)? Or what did they believe on their home worlds prior to being teleported into Kristen's house?

Odds are each city perhaps had its own sort of religion, if not various ones. In the years they've been in this situation I suspect many of them have leaned heavily on their old religion(s), but it is probably becoming increasingly clear that their old God(s) either don't exist or aren't going to do anything to help them, for whatever reason. Kristen (and Ginny), on the the other hand, undeniably does exist, and unlike the old God(s), she can even be communicated with and reasoned with (to some extent). This makes a very good selling point in trying to convert people from their old religion to worshiping Kristen/Ginny instead. Get what I'm saying?

I don't expect you to go into any great detail in describing the old religions of all these various places, but at least in the case of Ostrov in particular its one homogenous country, so you could go into some depth on whatever their "pre-Incident" faith was. And I think this sort of thing would be an excellent point of discussion between Justyna and Kristen in their upcoming conversation, so I'm glad you haven't written that just yet, so that you could first consider this idea.

The old religion of Ostrov might be monotheistic, polytheistic, or whatever. But I was thinking it would be cool if their old religion was like ancient Greek mythology or something like that, and they had a pantheon of dieties maybe, but also a supreme one like Zeus or whatever. Anyway, just like with ancient Greek Gods, imagine there are temples and statues dedicated to them all over Ostrov. Maybe in some city there is something like the Statue of Zeus or something from ancient Greece, but its of the Ostrov supreme deity, and this statue happens to be the largest structure in the entire country or something like that.

Well, obviously Kristen's heels now dwarf it (by a huge margin), so it would be a cool topic to bring that up in the conversation. Kristen's ego might even be such that she proposes the Ostrov religion be altered so that she be added to their pantheon, but now as their supreme God or something like that. She might still allow them to worship their old Gods, but they are now considered subordinate to her on the pantheon (or something like that).

Kristen might order them to alter or remake the statue(s) so that even though this (former) supreme deity was already very large and imposing and being one of the largest landmarks in Ostrov, it too is now dwarfed by a statue of Kristen, where the (former) supreme diety is now like a bug at her feet (or something like that). It would be pretty cool to have Kristen boost her ego by messing with their religion like this and reducing their supreme gods into her mere slaves.

I think this path also makes for a smoother transition than them just giving up their old gods entirely and just worshiping Kristen. It allows for a continuity between the beliefs of their ancestors to the present, and at the same time its just a cool way for Kristen to mess with them and inflate her ego. Reducing supreme immortal Gods into bugs at her feet is much more ego-boosting then to just having them abandon them and worship her instead.

That being said, I don't know what their religion is and its not my place to tell you what to write, so do whatever you want to do, but that's just a suggestion on my part that I thought was cool. Their religion could be monotheistic instead if you prefer, or I dunno. Also, if you don't like the idea of their old god(s) continuing to exist as bugs at Kristen's feet, then you could have the canon be that Kristen overthrew the old God(s) and killed them/squished them/ate them, whatever. And now she has usurped their power and authority. Or something like that... I dunno.

But I just thought this would be a cool idea to discuss changing the Ostrov religion (to center around Kristen) in the upcoming conversation between her and Justyna. Of course, there would be a lot of resistance. Even Justyna herself might consider it a red line and refuse to go along with this sacrilege. But as we see with the worship at Kristen's heels, there are many that would embrace this new religion. But it would cause massive social upheaval and perhaps even a civil war. But with Kristen's backing, we know which side would prevail in that. Anyway, don't feel obligated to write that, but its a suggestion. Its your story so do what you want.

Another train of thought that came to my mind was when the guy talking to the therapist about his fantasy of everyone returning to their old worlds in their old universes. I don't know if this is what you ultimately plan to happen, but I don't think it will, but it nonetheless raises some interesting thoughts. Obviously Kristen (and Ginny) have caused some enormous world altering changes to these cities/country, the hundreds of millions of people that live there, and even their religious beliefs. I expect this to continue to be the case as more and more years progress in the story. No one even knows what caused them to be teleported like that (and perhaps that is for the best, because not all questions need to be answered, or should be). So who knows if or how it could be undone? But just for the sake of hypothetical consideration, if it somehow were undone, it would be interesting to see how the changes these people and their realms would work out if returned to their original planets. Like for example, Ostrov being a major super power in that world, suddenly returns after years being gone, but now it returns with numerous cities reduced to dust, millions of its people dead, some new lakes and other features, a huge yoga mat dividing it in half, and hundreds of millions of people psychologically traumatized and with a new religious outlook. Would this traumatized Ostrov be able to recover and resume its former position as one of its world superpowers? Or would it be too psychologically (and physically broken) that other powers on its world just carve it up or something? Interesting questions to ponder. Also, if the new religion idea I suggested takes root before they returned, would it continue to flourish like some sort of Cargo Cult even in the absence of Kristen? Would other nations on that world pick up that religion?

I'm not suggesting that you write it like that, but it is some interesting stuff to ponder. I much more prefer that they remain where they are and where they belong: On the floor and at the feet of their goddess. :)

But that gives me a very evil but very exciting idea: what if it really does somehow become possible for the tinies to return to their home worlds, but Kristen refuses to allow them to leave because she enjoys her power over them too much? I loved the part in the previous chapter when she tells the people of Port Leslie that "you are my people" like she possesses them. :) But at least so far there hasn't actually been any way for them to return to where they came from. If that suddenly changed, and if Kristen refused to permit them to leave, then her path to the dark side would truly be complete. ;)

My apologies for posting this as another review, but there's no other way for me to respond to your response to my original review.

I was unfamiliar with your other story in this universe (the Grove View Apartments one), but I briefly read through it and I can see the differences between that one and this one. While the girls instantly turning evil and rapidly destroying everything does have its charm, I like the approach you are taking in this one a lot better. I like that Kristen's character gradually eases into embracing the goddess thing, and isn't some psychopath from the start. I have no doubt there are many people in real life who would be as callous as those girls in Grove View though if given the chance, but probably not most. It was also kinda disappointing the country on the rug was destroyed so quickly. It would have sucked if Kristen had destroyed Ostrov like that (which she easily could have) instead of having things gradually develop like you're doing here. This approach is much better.

I also like that there is much more interaction with the tinies, because of their ability to text Kristen on her phone. This means that even though the Micros are barely visible to her, and the Nanos aren't even visible to her at all, there is still a lot of interaction that can be done.

I still have to give you credit with the Grove View Apartments story because you catered to the extremely rare niche of shrunken countries, which I thoroughly enjoy, but it is so extremely rare. But I just wish those girls had taken greater care in their managing of those tinies. It also seemed towards they end they lost interest in them and just wanted to wash their hands of them by destroying them as quickly as possible. I hope that doesn't end up becoming the case with Kristen and co. here.

I also want to say I appreciate the background behind these cities/countries. The more they are fleshed out, the better. This along with their ability to communicate with Kristen makes them seem a lot more like humans rather than bugs. Its something I felt the other story was lacking in. For example, when Isabella ordered the micros in the box to clean her shoes it just seemed like she was ordering around bugs. She had no ability to hear their words, so the interaction was very one-sided. Maybe that explains why she lost interest in them, eh? It was still cool and all, but here in this story when Kristen makes Braithe clean her shoes it works much better, because they can communicate back to her. She knows it humiliates and degrades them, and that they're something more than bugs.

Anyway, I just want to say please don't hold back on details on the backstory of these cities/countries and the worlds they come from. For example, Ostrov seems like a pretty interesting place. A very powerful country on its world. It just makes it all the more surreal that this mighty nation ended up on the floor inside the house of this woman. The mightier these places were in their former worlds, the more of a goddess it makes Kristen that she now has them at her mercy, if that makes sense.

On the topic of the bug thing, I just realized that these people should have been dealing with the micro-biome that lives on Kristen's skin, and which has been raining down on them for all this time. You see, every person has billions of microscopic organisms like dust mites and so on living on their skin. These things are too small to see by the naked eye, but the Micros and (especially) the Nanos should be keenly aware of them and probably having some major problems as a result of them.

In the case of the Micros, its probably not too bad. The Micros are visible to Kristen's naked eye, but her dust mites are not, which means the mites are substantially smaller. How much smaller? I dunno. Like a small dog to them maybe? They can probably easily deal with these things just with a sharp kick. Pets might be at risk to them though.

In the case of the Nanos, this is probably a really ugly problem for them. In their case, I'd expect the dust mites and other stuff that lives on Kristen's skin to at least be on par with them in size, or probably even larger. And there would be a lot of these things raining down on their country as she walks through the room too, so you have to imagine this might be a major nightmare for them. Ostrov's people might be being killed by these things, and it might be devouring their crops, their forests, etc. Its probably a major problem for them.

But Ostrov does have its military, and fighting Kristen's microbes might be a full time job for them. But at least it gives their military some purpose for existing, since its not like they can do anything at all to Kristen, and there's no other nations for them to fight, so what else would they need to have a military for? So fighting Kristen's dustmites is their purpose now.

Not to mention if some real full-sized bug like a spider were to show up. In the case of Ostrov, they might have to resort to using full blown nuclear weapons to take it out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_microbiome

Here's a wikipedia article about Human microbiome, basically the stuff that would be living on Kristen's (and Ginny's, etc.) body, and which the Micros and Nanos would probably have some problems with.

But I think the same principle can also work in reverse, too. What I mean to say is the Nanos are so small that they are on par in size with this stuff, and as a result they could actually live on Kristen's body and become part of her body's microbiome themselves, and without her ever even knowing it. In fact, this might already be the case, like since even the first day when she stepped down on Ostrov before she knew what it even was. If some of them managed to avoid getting squished, they might have landed in between her toes and established themselves there and eked out an existence for all this time. Who knows? They're so small the cracks in her skin would be like canyons for them to hide in. Leslie could also have some living on her too.

Just some food for thought.
