This story took my breath
Just... Wow, it touched me deep in the heart.
This is the kind of things I search when I enter this site... Really, I loved it, it's so hearthwarming and... Damn.

I see you've commented on two of my stories and I have to say thank you. Even though I'm hardly ever on here the first thing I do is check reviews to thank people for taking time out of their day to brighten mine.

I really enjoyed this story, as well as your other story "Re-do". Both were very creative and carried surprising emotional impact.
Mxing primarily gentle writing with vore and scat content is something of a dangerous proposition, but also one I can relate to. My interests in vore and gentle gts are both pretty deep and I can't resist combining them in my writing, even if the result may be something that doesn't appeal to either camp.
One of the things I liked most about this story was how you handled Allie's character. Usually a character that has this fetish is shown as being in conflict with themselves to some degree (it may even be the focus of the story, whether or not they overcome their desires or give in to them, or come to some compromise) but Allie has no trouble separating fantasy from reality, at least in regards to someone innocent like Ben. I thought it was a refreshing and mature portrayal.
Author's Response:
I'm glad you took the time to leave a review on an older story. As well as reading more than just this one. Thanks for your kind words, and I'm glad you enjoyed them!
You're right though, mixing conflicting tags can really mess with an audience. I try to focus on gentle aspects more than my other stuff. But it's a real joy when I see both of them coexisting.
Allie was a sweet character to write.
I feel like you would have enjoyed my other stories if I hadn't deleted them. Sorry. :(

I really enjoyed this. The demoness feeling sorry for someone, so turning eternal hell into heaven for him was just a rwarea for un concept .Would love to see more in the universe someday. Your writing quality was excellent as well, was truly a joy to read
Author's Response:
And I love you for the response, friendo.
I don't think I'll be retouching back to this universe, because by the time I get back around to writing I'll probably have something else on my mind. I'm a bit of a cocktease I guess.
Kind reviews give me the strength to come back at later dates.

Wow, that was a quick response!
About the pizza, you said that you would add some pizzazz the the last chapter in your response on my previous review.
And your done for now, so there is still hope for a sequel to this story. Thx!
Author's Response:
Sir, that's not what I meant by pizzazz lol.
Look up the definition on Google haha. I didn't mean "Pizza, the food" I meant "pizzazz, an attractive combination of vitality and glamour"
Meaning I just wanted to spice up the last chapter. That's all. :)
While a sequel technically could be done, I don't currently have any plans to do one.
I'm more likely to start a new story in the future. Just how I roll

So sad that this is the final chapter already, at least its longer.
And I don't know why you are horrible, the only thing I can complain about is maybe the missing pizza.
The parts with Allison were also nice. Great to see how Athena uses her to nurture Ben to her will/personality, its both cute and dominating. I'm also wondering if Ben is able to "see" into the normal world, or can only do it using the sandbox. And speaking of that, it seems Athena created quite the ultimate sandbox. Are you sure ther isn't a fourth chapter coming?
At last, thanks for writing and see you next time I hope!
Author's Response:
Thanks for the feedback.
I'll be honest, I don't quite know what you meant by the "missing pizza"
Yeah, I love Allie as a character but I was afraid adding her would subtract attention away from Athena, who I didn't want to neglect.
I didn't let Ben see through to the real world, but rest assured, if Athena wanted him to see Earth again through her own eyes, she would let him.
I don't plan on making a fourth chapter, but like I've said before, it's set up to be kind of an infinite playing field. I could turn the story into a dungeons and dragons type theme with Athena as a huge DM and Ben running around with allies if I felt like it. I just get worn out from typing because I don't focus on anything IRL until I complete whatever story I start.
Thank you for reading my strange short story!

This is such a lovely and original story, I love it!
You did such a great job of getting us to feel for ben with some backstory.
It also combines both gentle (to Ben) and more cruel (her new host).
This story has so much potential, three chapters seem a bit to few.
Also, thank you for writing!
Author's Response:
You're far too kind.
I know, I know. I'm horrible.
I'm at least trying to give the last chapter some pizzazz to make up for it, plus it'll be just a bit longer than the first chapter.
I'm having fun typing it but expect a short wait period. Check back once a day and it should but up soon. I'm introducing a character and adding a bit more giantess action.
In addition Athena shows her more mischievous side, but like she promised, Ben never actually gets bullied or hurt from her actions. <3
Anyways thank you for the feedback, it means a lot.

Love where this is going! Keep up the nice work, and I'm really interested to see where you take this!
Author's Response:
Next chapter I'm going to try and work in a few more giantess elements. Thank you for the review bud.
Hopefully I can make the last chapter longer than the first chapter.

It's nice to see a story on here featuring a cute and sexy relationship with a non-human being. I'm a sucker for fairies, succubus, and kemonomimi-type (animal eared) characters, so I'll be looking forward to what you have planned in the third chapter, since Athena's ability to create landscapes and cities means she can create all sorts of scenarios at varying scales, especially ones at an extreme size difference without the typical issues involving interaction one would find in a more realistic setting.
As for your writing style, I enjoyed it, and personally feel no problems with the flow. I'm unable to find anything to criticise. You being self-conscious about the aspects you find lacking in yourself is just a burden all good writers share. People who are competent at what they do tend to rate them themselves much lower than their actual skill level because they're self-aware of their weaknesses, which is a good thing.
Author's Response:
I know, I tried to leave a lot of room to work with for the final chapter, but knowing myself, the grand ideas in my head will go through an extreme filter and I will end up not liking what I submit.
Well that whole self conscious thing makes sense, but it's also the same thing that caused me to erase my original five stories out of panic. They were not backed up anywhere. I always hate my work, but you're right, it does kind of help drive me to try and not submit trash.
I feel like my pacing is strange, where you have to read every word slowly and envision it playing out in your head to make sense. I enjoy my dialouge, I like to make people talk normally and kindly if possible. I don't feel like I describe things into detail like they deserve though.
I appreciate your review, it helps me find the drive to complete my stories.

You have successfully intrigued me with your writing style.
Even better that I have a facination with gentle succi for some odd reason.
Author's Response:
I type very unorthodox, but I try to keep things legible. And in the next chapter, you'll see a bit more of her succubus side. I appreciate the review, carweirdo. :)

Off to an excellent start, I'm loving it! Although I am curious if you'd ever consider going for a longer story, you are quite good at them.
Author's Response:
I appreciate the feedback.
There's a little more information on that in my Bio. I did have a longer story once, well over 30k words. It was moderately popular. But typing takes a toll on me, and I never focus on anything in real life until the story gets completed. So shorter stories I can make in a few days are just my preference now. But I do have a vivid imagination so I try to make the short ones sweet and to the point if possible.

Interesting concept. I think you conveyed the emotions in this helf well. I'm interested to see how his afterlife goes.
Author's Response:
Really? I've always felt like I'm not that great at describing the important things. My pacing is always all over the place. And I'm wondering about that, too. But we'll see in awhile. Thanks for leaving feedback. :)
