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. ;)

Hi! I just finished reading this chapter, so I thought I'd leave a review. I can see that it is your longest chapter so far, and I want to tell you that it is appreciated. Don't hold back on the writing or the details.

I left a couple reviews over a month ago and I know you read at least one of them because you responded to the first one. And that was before this chapter came out, so I did have some thoughts in my head on how this chapter would turn out since Chapter 17. I did expect that Ostrov was going to be in a world of hurt because of how angry Kristen was in the last chapter, and my predictions turned out to be right. :)

But it wasn't quite what I predicted would happen. The assassins that tried to kill Justyna in the previous chapter seemed to have been pissed off by Kristen's lewd masturbation on the couch for all of Ostrov to see. So the thought that popped into my head was that Kristen was going to punish those assassins by masturbating herself over whatever city they were in, and I guess drowning them in her juices or something like that. I just thought that would be a more "poetic" punishment for them, since they would be killed by the very act that they tried to kill Justyna over. But oh well, either way they're certainly dead now. :) Along with, unfortunately, millions (?) of other Ostrovians.

Justyna has every right to be upset by this gratuitous slaughter of her people, so I am keenly intrigued by what the conversation that she will be having with Kristen in the next chapter will be like. They could have a complete falling out, a patching up, or really anything might happen. I'm very interested to find out how that goes. And yes, the animosity Ostrovians have to Justyna is still there, and actually no doubt even worse now, so this demonstration of power (which killed countless innocents in the process) has done nothing to make Ostrovians respect or love Justyna, but it may have made them fear her (by proxy). I note that this is the same dilemma Justyna's father faced himself, where he was damned either way when he tried to either interact with Kristen, or ignore her entirely. Either way is a losing prospect which results in millions of deaths regardless. And then to have your own people hate you for it to boot. Its not a good situation for any leader to be in, so I can imagine Justyna would be under that same stress and either want to retire from office (or follow her father's example). No matter who the "leader" of Ostrov is, they're ultimately just a puppet proxy ruler that answers to Kristen. Same goes for the micros in the city in the other room.

BTW, Ginny punishing the micros in Port Leslie with the stench of her feet was excellent. :) I like it because it humiliates them, but at the same time it doesn't cause a mass extinction event. Now that being said, in the case of the nanos in the other room it might be another story. The Micros "merely" suffered from the odor, but nanos being oh so very much smaller, it might actually be literally fatal to them. I'm no expert on the science involved here, but I do know that if you don't get enough oxygen, you die, and whatever the gasses that emanated from Ginny's stinky feet were, are definitely not oxygen. So its not just simply a matter of being an unpleasant thing to breath in her foot stink (though this is true), but since you're breathing that instead of breathable air, then you are probably going to literally die for real from it. And that's no joke (though the giantesses might think so).

I hope in the next chapter you'll give some account from the POV of the nanos on what the smell was like or did to them. Since her nyloned feet didn't linger over them for very long, and since there was some amount of time for them to air out as she walked through the hall without her heels on, that probably helped somewhat, but again, the nanos are massively smaller than the micros, so stuff is going to hit them a lot harder, including feet odor. If they got the Port Leslie treatment from Ginny's feet freshly extracted from the shoes, well it might have caused the death of millions in that vinegary scent... like a mustard gas attack during WW1 or something.

So far you've had the Micros cleaning Kristen's sandals and some heels, but though those are pretty bad (for them), it would be massively worse if they were made to clean a pair of jogging sneakers which are going to reek far worse. I think its also a much more degrading thing to force them to clean some plain old sneakers, since at least in the case of heels that is some classy footwear, but sneakers on the other hand are not. So not only is the smell worse, but its a more humiliating thing to be made to service. So consider that for the future.

Also please consider other things too, like sweaty socks, or Ginny's nylons like she wore in this chapter. As those can really soak up the smell also.  In fact, even more than shoes, probably. Just place a pair of sweaty socks in the room, and all the millions of people in the room are going to suffer just from it being in the room. Even moreso if they're made to clean them (though I don't know how they even would clean socks).

When I was reading that part about Kristen's silver heels, and how she wore them during her meetings with the micros and nanos and did some destruction with them and ultimately left them in the nano room to intimidate them, it occurred to me that it would be a good thing for your story to include the juxtaposition of Kristen wearing things like this in her normal every day life and her interactions with Madelyn, or work, or whatever, and then again later the devastating impact those same items have to the little people in the rooms. And this is something that can happen in reverse, because at the end of the chapter you wrote about her going to work with some micro crew trapped inside of her shoes, so she's taking them to work with her. And if you do write about her experience at work that day, you could say something about them inside her shoe, how she feels them, or if she takes them out to do something with them, or even from their own perspective, etc. But as for the other way around, I mean to say it makes for a great juxtaposition to write about how she had stepped on an ant during her time at work, and the squished remnants of the ant stuck to the show is then something extra the tinies have to deal with when cleaning them. Or, how she went on a date and went dancing and worked up a sweat, which again has some implications for the tinies when they are forced to deal with it. Or maybe, I dunno, Madelyn draws on Kristen's shoes with crayons (or something), and then cleaning that off becomes the assignment for the tinies. Its these really mundane things that might happen to her footwear in Kristen's everyday life that you could write about in those segments, then later the juxtaposition of that same footwear and its impact on the tinies. I felt this was a missed opportunity in this chapter, because there was no mention of those silver heels in those day to day life segments. Something like that would have made it more interesting, in my opinion.

Just some stuff to think about.

I do want to comment on the 180 degree shift in morality of Kristen in Ginny. In my first review I applauded the slow and gradual development of Kristen to get to this point, and how this is in my opinion preferable to the vast majority of stories where the giantess is cruel and evil right from the very start. But regardless of the slow development to get to this point, Kristen and Ginny are now there. This is both good and bad at the same time. When you responded to my first review you said it would take a lot of calamites before the population is reduced to a scary level, but I dunno. The like 15 minutes or so Kristen and Ginny spent in that room probably killed millions of people in that short space of time. And yes, we're talking about a nation of hundreds of millions. But they probably killed like 1% of the population in that short period of time and that's not an insignificant blow for such a space of time. It wouldn't have been so bad if Kristen correctly identified the right city the first time and only wiped out that one, but even then that's massive overkill for a couple assassins. And they are completely indifferent to all these deaths, which is the total opposite of where things started. Like I said, its a double edged sword. There's both good and bad things to say about it.

Its kinda weird, too, that you wrote Ginny being a Vegan, so she's against eating animals, but eating tiny humans (even on accident) doesn't seem to bother her in the slightest. Its a really strange contradiction. IIRC, this was before she even knew that the micros were people. Because she ate that piece of banana even though she knew it was covered with (what she thought were) "ants", but despite being "vegan" she still ate it anyway. Either way, it just seems to go against her character, whether its eating humans or even just (what she thinks are) bugs. Because actual vegans don't eat bugs, and they certainly wouldn't eat people either. I dunno... it just seems like an odd break in character in my opinion.

But anyway, even though Leslie's visit got Kristen to embrace her power and dominance (and I'm not saying this is a bad thing), it is possible to ease back on this a little, even if just temporarily. For example, when Kristen has her conversation with Justyna in the next chapter, you could have Justyna show her videos of the death and destruction that her actions caused, and maybe this causes her to have a twinge of guilt and remorse and she regains some of the humanity she had lost... even if just temporarily.

This chapter is really good as always i love the evolution between Kristen and the micro people, i love when the giantess become more and more confident in her own power. And the part with Ginny stinky feet is the cherry on top. Good job Panzer 

Author's Response:

Thank you!  Glad you loved the cherry on top.

I recently discovered this story, and just finished reading through all of it. I'll give you my overall thoughts on the story as a whole and some ideas and suggestions that have come to my mind, but I decided to leave my review under this chapter specifically because of the part regarding Nyla, which I'll get to later.

First of all, I want to applaud you for the slow-rolling and plausible descent of Kristen into madness (or power-lust). Your story is a very welcome and refreshing change from the vast majority of stories out there, where the woman is always invariably turned on by destruction and killing right off the start. It is so very much over done, and feels very contrived, yet most giantess stories are like that, and frankly it gets a bit tiresome and boring. But the way you wrote Kristen being depressed and horrified that she had killed so many people (even if on accident) was on point. You had her gradually evolve and ease into embracing her dominance over the tiny people, and it was well done, so I applaud you on that.

Now for a bit of constructive criticism, though. You wrote that eventually Kristen began bringing food and water to the micros, and this works out well and good to explain how they get their food, but if I am recalling correctly, it took some months before Kristen started doing this. So how were these cities able to survive for those months without food or water? For Ostrov it kinda made some sense, because it was not only their cities but also the farmlands of the entire country that was brought with them. Cities can't supply their own food and need to have it brought in. A city might have enough food to last a few days or weeks at most, but certainly not months.

Now, as for Nyla and why I am posting the review on this chapter specifically. I'm NGL, I was kinda looking forward to seeing Kristen do something to punish this tiny woman for the threats she made to her daughter. It felt anti-climatic that she was not only allowed to survive (when so many others had died for so much less), but even ended up being rewarded by given such a powerful position and a life of luxury. I guess you could consider this a complaint, but I was bit disappointed she didn't get what she deserved for the threats she made.

That said, I do enjoy the humiliation she is subjecting the city to in forcing them to clean the filth from her shoes. Please do not hesitate to go into as much detail as you can when it comes to these humiliating and degrading jobs Braithe is now being forced to do.

Now, if you are receptive to ideas and suggestions, this chapter mentioned the black tar filth stuff that the workers cleaned from Kristen's sandals and made up of her skin, oil, dirt, sweat, etc. What exactly do they do with this stuff after they clean it off? It has to be discarded somehow, but where and how? My idea, if you're interested, is that someone in Braithe (maybe Nyla herself?) comes up with creative uses for Kristen's foot filth. Maybe it can be turned into compost and used to create some arable land for farming like Ostrov does? Not that they need to, since Kristen now provides them with food, but maybe they want to have a little more variety in their diet or something by growing crops native to their world which Kristen can't provide? Otherwise, maybe the foot gunk could be refined down into industrial chemicals like fuel or lubricants or something? The oil from Kristen's feet is oil, after all, so maybe it can be used to power and lubricate the very machinery they use to clean her shoes? Maybe they are able to collect Kristen's foot oil to such an amount that they can use it to power their vehicles or export it to other cities in the room for them to use? Or maybe if they don't think its too disgusting they might even eat Kristen's foot gunk or dried skin cells as a delicacy? Or use it has building materials somehow? Maybe in place of concrete and steel, they can use Kristen's skin cells as building blocks? The city of Crest might want Kristen's foot oil to use as annointing oils or incense or something in their temples when they do their rituals in worship of her. So please consider my idea that the city of Crest might really want to import this stuff Braithe is extracting from Kristen's shoes as a waste product.

Also, have you considered having Kristen put the nation of Ostrov to work for her in some similar fashion? The thought of even tinier people being put to work to clean Kristen's intimate objects is very hot. Its hot when that entire cities are doing this, but an entire nation which is even smaller? Wow. It doesn't necessarily just have to be her footwear, like what about making them clean her dirty panties, or even her vibrator? Butt plug? ;) Maybe the nanos of Ostrov can find some legit uses for the filth like I suggested with Braithe? Just some ideas, of course. But I do understand that Kristen is on great terms with Justyna, so I'm not sure what would prompt her to impose such a punishment on these hapless nanos. I just know that I would love to see such a punishment be imposed. ;)

And what about Ginny? Surely her footwear (and other intimate items) could use some TLC too, right?

Oh! And that's another thing which reminds me. When you wrote about Ginny taking the cap of tinies home with her, it made me think: what if Ginny had used those tinies as colonists to found a new city of her own inside of her own home? Having a cap full of thousands would have been a great starter population. Don't get me wrong, it was great she enjoyed herself with them, but she could have used just some of them and kept the rest to replenish their numbers so she could continue to enjoy them over the long run.

BTW, that's another thing.... whether intentionally or not, Kristen, Ginny, Leslie, etc. are taking a HUGE toll on the population of these people. I don't know what your long term plans are for this story, but if Kirsten is to maintain her role of goddess for a long time to come and if she isn't being much more sparing in their lives than she is, then she's going to run out. These people are reproducing and regenerating their populations right? I could see them being so demoralized by their situation that they don't reproduce much, but assuming they do it is still a long time for new micros to be born and grow to adulthood. Unless the tinies have some sort of accelerated growth that comes from the shrinking or something?

Oh, and btw what about actual literal bugs and stuff? Every house has them. if, say, a spider got into one of those rooms it could be a disaster, right? Maybe just possible the militaries of the Micro cities might be capable of killing a spider though. I know they can't do anything more than tickle Kristen.

And as for the crack in the wall... here's another idea I'd like to toss out to you. What if the Micros dug through the wall into the adjacent room with the Nanos and were able to interact with them or something? I mean there's LOTS of potential to this idea. Or Kristen might even purposely arrange for the Micros to interact with the Nanos somehow? For example, in the last chapter where someone had tried to assassinate Justyna, Kristen understandably wants to do something to help her friend out, but given her enormous size its impossible for her to do anything with the precision necessary. But a Micro on the other hand could make for a great intermediary, right? Kristen could deploy a Micro (or team of them) into Ostrov and order them to assist Justyna or something.

Before I forget, here's one final thought about Kristen putting the Micros (and maybe Nanos) to work for her. Making them clean her items is very cool and intoxicating, but what if she could put them to work in a way that was profitable to her somehow? Being so tiny, they can do extremely intricate and detailed work that normal sized people can't. Maybe Kristen could make herself rich in the real world by putting these people to work making something that she could sell for profit?

I don't know, anyway this is your story and I don't mean to impose or anything but I just wanted to share these ideas that popped into my mind as I was reading it.

It's a great story, and I look forward to your future updates!

Amazing chapter as always! Thank you so much for making these they’re amazing; You’re the author I always check for when I visit this site! Also omg I love so many of the new characters already, Rasha is amazing, and I’m curious how/if the wine club girls will join more too. I imagine the knowing circle will stay small, hopefully they all find interesting ways to encounter the micros or even nanos without realizing 

Author's Response:

And thank you so much for your comments.  I'm very glad you enjoy my story enough to come check if I posted!  I think the new girls will definitely fine ways to incorporate themselves into being involved and I believe I will develop Rasha going forward. 

This story every chapter is so perfect .The amount of detail, the fact that you make the character evolve with every chapter. Thanks again for this chapter and i looking forward for the next one. 

I only found this story recently and it is very interesting so far! Especially the maternal themes. I have got to read some more 🙂

This is a very interesting addition! Looking forward to the Nano POV

Author's Response:

It's finally coming next chapter, then they will be a good part of the story. 

This is great! I can't wait for more... your writing is so good.

Author's Response:

Thank you, titantonic!  I hope you keep enjoying

Amazing, chapter as always. Hope to see one focus on stinky feet.  

Author's Response:

I can assure you there will be a few emphatic chapters around aromas in the future.
