Excellent chapter! Quite a bit more destruction in this one than in the previous few chapters, which is both a good and bad thing. I think it worked out pretty balanced, without the destruction getting too destructive as a visit from Leslie easily could have been. She refrained from destroying everything, but it was clear that she wanted to.

About that. It reminds me of something I read on a website sometime back. Once in awhile I'll do a search for things like "shrunken cities" or things of that sort to see what might come up (usually nothing btw), but one time there was a search result about a place called Quora or something, where someone had asked the question of what people would do if tiny cities appeared in this home. And this is a site of normal people btw. A few of the responses where very similar to what Leslie said she would do: "that they would vacuum it up or sweep it up." Pretty chilling, but that's the response that quite a few of the normal average people gave to that question. So the way that Leslie would react if they had appeared in her house is probably pretty typical, all things considered. And it also does remind me of your previous story in this universe where a country not unlike Ostrov appears on a rug and just gets swept up just like Leslie and those people on that site said they would do, so good job in relating what would be a very normal reaction to it.

That said, even though it would be a normal reaction, it doesn't mean its the most interesting or fun. Others gave more benevolent responses, which wasn't unlike how Kristen tried to be in her handling at the start. Those people would not have immediately destroyed the city, but would have tried to save and protect the tiny lives, as Kristen did at first. Whether they would have remained as benevolent 7 years later, or if they'd have ended up going off the rails like she did is a question that can't be answered. But it is very plausible that some of those benevolent people might have grown more abusive and domineering over time. I think Kristen's descent into tyranny is very plausible indeed. Obviously nothing like this scenario has or could ever happen, but we have seen people corrupted by power many times, and being 200 miles tall over much smaller people is a form of power without a doubt. I'm sure many would be corrupted by that power over time as Kristen was, but maybe not everyone. Everyone is unique, after all.

I have to say the plot of this story has gotten very interesting and I don't know how it will go, even though I can think of different possibilities in my head, but I'm always taken by surprise by something happening which I never even considered, like in this chapter with the cleaning of the ear buds thing. Its true that I haven't read literally every giantess story that's ever been written, but this scenario of a microscopic country being forced to clean the earwax off some tera-sized earbuds is certainly new to me. Its possible its been covered before but I don't think it has, so unless I'm mistaken then kudos for being a pioneer in completely new unexplored territory! Many of your chapters are like that. The micro city being burned by a hair dryer in the previous chapter was probably also unique; the destruction caused by the doll; etc. You're always finding new and unique ways of making the poor micros and nanos suffer and die.

Though sadly each and every time this happens, their numbers dwindle ever more. Leslie herself noted how there were so many fewer cities in that city room from her previous visit, and by the time she left there was one fewer still. They're not being all swept up and erased in one day like Leslie would do, but they are suffering the death of a thousand cuts: being gradually whittled away by attrition. Its been 7 years and how many cities are gone out of the original? Even though I'm kinda inclined to think Ostrov hasn't been hurt as much as the micro room, them being much smaller means every small thing hits them so much worse. Leslie tossing her flimsy bra and those ear buds onto them might seem a trivial act, but it probably caused more deaths than when she purposely smashed Vajazzle. These "trivial" acts in the Ostrov room may have destroyed a number of cities on par with Vajazzle, so the destruction is undoubtedly far worse. Plus so much was destroyed early on with the creation of that "pink divide". So even though I may be inclined to think Ostrov got it easier than the Micros over the past 7 years, the reality is they've gotten it much, much worse. It just seems they've gotten it easier because Kristen has never lashed out at them in anger the way she has with micro cities. Its just their destruction gets caused by "trivial" acts that do much worse because they're so smaller. Though I still think that being so small (they're bacteria size, let's not forget) they should also escape destruction easier in that sense, and I had hoped this fact would have allowed Niko (and others) to have survived somehow.

If Ostrov ever somehow does make it back to its homeworld, it will never be the same as it once was. On top of the millions of dead, the land has been radically altered by all the destruction caused to it. All the footsteps, Kristen's milk spatter, cum, hairs, skin cells, the "pink divide", etc. And all the forests are dessicated and dead. They might have been something like a great power on their world, but if they ever did go back with all this destruction they sustained they'd instantly be like an impoverished third world country. Probably the worst on their world by far, and it would take many decades if not centuries for things to bounce back. But even if things ever did bounce back, like I said the land has been permanently altered with those giant footsteps and the like, leaving an eternal humiliation upon them. But that would be interesting to explore.

Leslie's earwax is the latest "addition" to Ostrov's landscape. There was probably at least a city-sized amount of it. Will some cult start to worship this earwax? Will Justyna order it to be disposed of somehow? The waste has to go somewhere, somehow. Having to endure all this earwax of this hated woman who (probably) killed many more of them then even Kristen did, is adding an enormous insult to an enormous injury.

Reading that chapter got me to look up on Wikipedia just what exactly earwax even is. A lot of it is saturated fats and the like. It has anti-microbial properties. Its purpose is to help prevent things like ear infections and keep the ear canal free of stuff. Well, if it has anti-microbial properties then I could imagine it would probably be very hazardous to people that happen to be microbial-size. Good thing they donned their Haz-mat suits, because it could be deadly to "microbes" like them. That said, its mostly like saturated fats and stuff, so the nanos could refine it and maybe use it like a fuel-source or something? Kinda like bio-diesel, I guess. Or will Kristen collect this among all the various other waste she collects in a cap or whatever? It hasn't been elaborated on very much in any chapter. But since her dried and hardened breast milk is still there 7 years later, I'm guessing that Leslie's earwax will remain there too. Now that would be an interesting thing to explain to the people back home if they ever manage to get back, wouldn't it? ;)

I have to say, I have a lot of respect for Justyna and how she followed the example of "lead by example" and put on her hazmat suit and got directly involved in the clean-up duty herself. She probably should not have due to being pregnant. Frankly, with all the stress of everything going on its not at all unlikely for her to have a miscarriage. I hope it doesn't happen. Leslie sure hasn't helped matters.

Man, Kristen really fucked her "friend" Justyna over big time when she told Leslie "the smaller ones" in response to the question of "which ones do the better job cleaning". But until now Kristen had never tasked Ostrov with cleaning, so why did she give that answer? I don't think its even a true answer. Being 20x smaller makes it 20x harder for them to do the same amount of work. Though that does mean they can do it more intricately...

Even something as "small" as ear buds took the collective effort of an entire nation to do what one of the micro cities could have handled much more easily (they routinely clean shoes, which are far larger, even). Cleaning those ear buds should have been a piece of cake (relatively speaking) for the cities. So Kristen's answer of Ostrov to the question seems strange.

Maybe subconsciously Kristen said that because she was too afraid or had some sort of hang-up which always prevented her from assigning cleaning tasks to the nanos like she routinely did to the micros? Maybe it was her relationship with Justyna which kept her from ever demanding this of them? So was that why she told her sister that because she needed her to be the one to tear down that wall that held her back from being more assertive with Ostrov? This is what I'm thinking, anyway.

But now that Ostrov's cleaning duty "cherry" has finally been "popped", can we expect them to now be put to work cleaning stuff more often? Kristen's next conversation with Justyna will be very interesting, regardless. But with Leslie having set this precedent of them cleaning stuff, I can imagine it now being much easier for Kristen to ask Justyna to clean something, where previously she never could due to her "friendship".

Now on that note, I can understand how Kristen's "they'll clean" would have stung for Justyna, with them being "friends" and all. Of course they're not really friends, but they kinda are... or at least were prior to the death of Niko anyway. No one wants to be treated like slave of course, but being treated this way by a "friend" does make it hurt even worse.

I don't know how Justyna and her unborn baby are going to survive all this, but I gotta say I'm rooting for her. In a response to a review someone else left you said Kristen isn't the protagonist, she's just the main character. And that really makes a lot of sense. She's not a good woman; she's not someone that I root for in this story, in fact quite often I find myself hating her for her actions. But nonetheless she is the main character and everything centers around her, regardless of whether she's the protagonist or not.

In the case of Justyna, I feel that she's the complete opposite. She certainly not the main character in this story at all. In fact, there are many chapters where she doesn't make an appearance at all (mainly because her room doesn't get interacted with, though I'm guessing this will become more common now). She's in fact not even a micro, but a nano. The smallest of the small. She might well be the mightiest and high ranking of the nanos, but she is still a nano nonetheless. Even less than a particle of dust in comparison to Kristen (size wise). And yet, despite how far from being the main character in this story she is, I still see her as the protagonist, or at least one of them. But not Kristen.

There are many reviews by people praising the destruction and hoping to see more of it. The reason why I don't is because of these small protagonists like Justyna, whom I'm rooting for. There was another reviewer that agreed with me so I'm not alone, but still I think a lot of people do see this as just a "smut" story and they don't care in the manner that I do and that's why they are so gung-ho about all the destruction. And don't get me wrong -- I actually do enjoy that too, but do you understand why I'm conflicted? This is why I say the destruction is "both good and bad". So I'm glad that this chapter managed to strike a good balance and kept things moderate, though this was a disappointment to some, but not to me.

As a minor detail, I noted the part where you explained how Samantha was able to get Justyna's contact by tiny engineers getting into the phone and reconfiguring the network. This explanation addresses the plothole of how Cameron was able to email those videos to Justyna. Not a big thing, and most may not even noticed, but I did and I'm glad it got addressed. I kinda think it is strange though that over 7 years no one else had broken protocol and made contact though. There was some interesting plot potential with that.

Okay, there was something else... the topic of Leslie. She doesn't really see the micros/nanos as people. But she also doesn't directly communicate with them or see them on video either. What would a video conversation between Leslie and say, Samantha, or Justyna have been like? Kristen could have directly introduced her older sister to her tiny "friends" and proved to her sister that they are indeed real people. I'm very curious how an interaction like that might have went down. Especially with Justyna, because Leslie could have directly ordered her to clean her earbuds, instead of Kristen giving the order. Given the two very opposing personalities between Leslie and Justyna they probably would have clashed. Maybe its best for Ostrov that this conversation didn't happen, because maybe Leslie wouldn't taken well to any sort of backtalk from something she considers less than a bug and maybe things would get ugly. Or maybe she would see that Justyna is a person and this would have changed her view on everything? I don't know. I'm kinda disappointed this interaction didn't happen, but like I said maybe its for the best.

Though, then again, Leslie will come visit again at some point, right? So there's always next time. ;) At least Leslie did say they did a "decent" job with cleaning her ear buds. Maybe Leslie might come around and see the value in keeping the tiny people, at least for their cleaning services if nothing else? She might not see the value in playing God with them like Kristen does, but anyone can appreciate having clean things, so she might have them clean more of her things the next time she visits.

Well, I think that's it for my long-winded review this time around. Like I said in your other story, I'm sorry that you haven't been getting the amount of feedback you deserve. That story hasn't really hooked me in though (so far). Partly its the "twins" thing but also the really great thing about this story in particular is the perspective from the tinies. I understand its not as easy to write as you said, but for me that's what gives life to what would otherwise just be "ants" basically, like how the giants see them. Like in that first Incident story with the Tiny country in the rug? That country could have been just like Ostrov. Could have had characters like Justyna, Milya, Niko. But it never got fleshed out. It just got "Leslied" and into the wastebin it went before I even got to know any of it. That's why this story is so much better than that one if you want my honest opinion. Though I'm not saying that story wasn't also great. It did have a lot of creative and unique forms of destruction. You're good at that. But the destruction hits much harder when its to a character who you can see it from their perspective.

Definitely one of the most poignant, rueful and sad chapters of the novel. By this brilliant chapter, I almost forgot that I started to read the novel as "giantess" story. Your talent makes it impossible not to totally connect oneself to tinies and their feelings and emotions, their immense pain and eternal suffering in the world of this cruel sadistic bitch. What started as a novel with Kristen as the main character, micros' and nanos' stories being only insert POVs, gradually transformed into something where these people are actually protagonists whose lives are much more interesting than any scenes of destructions and violent giantesses playing with themselves, crushing cities etc.

I caught myself out long ago while reading the novel almost skipping parts of the chapters where Kristen begins yet another stupid act of destruction for pettiest reason or no reason at all. After the 33rd chapter, these atrocities became practically just physically revolting to me. The name Kristen itself at the beginning of another subchapter now makes me roll my eyes and curl my lips in disgust. It's now the epitome of the worst that can be found in human nature. Tiny people, on the other hand, are written so brilliantly and vividly that I all I want now is to read about them. The heartbreaking story of sick nail painters who hobble to their last place to be "mercifully" crushed by Kristen who is the only reason they got cancer, the dramatic story of Elliot who decided to finally commit suicide to get out of Kristen's infinite hell is an example of amazing literature that I'd really like to buy in a bookstore!

Some reviewers have written that they like Kristen's behavior and this cruel side of her is what they want to read about, that's totally okay, but as for me, submerging into the living hell that lives of the micros and nanos were turned into merely because of stupid whims of Kristen works literally almost as a... well, I don't know, cure against giantess fetish, you know. It's elevated tragedy, no more, no less. Reading of your novel really changes the way one sees giantesses, I think. This is giantess' literature I've actually never read before, kudos for your amazing work! And I really hope to finally see light at the end of this nightmarish tunnel.

P.S. Giantess Nation has mentioned that it would be great to see Rasha as a more gentle giantess because all other women in the novel turned out to be violent. I totally agree. There must be a ray of light in this realm of total darkness.

Author's Response:

I know this chapter is quite sad, it's been planned for while and I do get attached my character's as the author to their story, so it never feels amazing to do this to them.  I don't want to just write smut, I want to write drama in a world where giantesses exist.  Unfortunately, some people still put the pressure on me to write the action part of the story.  The cruel, sadistic nature of Kristen falling to corruption was a slow burn, I never once saw Kristen as my protagonist, never, she's just the main character, sort of.  

I know that she is revolting to some, but that's kinda the point, right?  How can this sick, twisted person be so normal on the outside and think nothing is wrong with her, she's a good friend, a good mother, it's a crazy world to balance for her, but nobody should feel bad for her or give her the excuse.  

Thank you for the long, thought-out and detailed comments, keep it coming.  

As for a gentle giantess, just give it time

Well, dear Panzer, it was something.

First of all, I couldn't get how previous mood of Kristen suddenly transformed into the most horrific and terrible behavior ever described in this novel. In just about previous chapters she felt deeply sorry for those who got cancer because of cleaning her bloody shoes and for Justyna because she stepped on Niko. I hoped that would somehow affect her, get her back to some more gentle and caring behavior we witnessed before. But all of a sudden, we have... "The same old feeling"? Well... That would have been much better (I can't imagine I say that, I remember my feelings after reading chapter from the 17th to the 21st, when Kristen slowly transformed from a gentle giantess into a careless creature who just wants to play with tiny cities and squish them to please herself, before she steps on Werth and realizes she needs to think who she is... so I just thought "My god, this nightmare needs to stop somehow, if messages can't be blocked, why can't micros and nanos just send her THOUSANDS of pics and videos like "Here is John Smith, he was a good man, he had two kids, he loved them and his wife, and this goo is just what is left from him after you stepped on his neighborhood"?) But at the 25th, "Inclines", which had been the most horrific and dreadful for me before I read the 33rd, I understood that it's too late, Kristen couldn't care less about tiny people even when she could talk to them directly and see that they're not just specks of dust but people with their own desires, feelings and intentions, but she turned lives of those poor creatures that she selected for her sadistic competition into something like personalized hell, that race on her back was much more sadistic and cruel than just crushing cities indiscriminately. It was LIVING HELL. (BTW, it reminded me of a kind of sci-fi story when little boys who committed suicide go into hell where they're doomed to play basketball eternally just to be incinerated by the end of the game to resurrect and start it all over again). By that time, I just hoped that this nightmare would be stopped somehow, maybe by Janelle who would tell scientists or some other authorities... But Janelle turned out to be just as careless as other giantesses, and you ratcheted the degree of sadism and cruelty up until this chapter, where the novel turned into something that plunged me into freezing horror while I was reading it.

You know, I'm a big fan of cruel mega giantesses, but in my imagination the worst they do is just crushing cities. But THIS was beyond any imaginable cruelty. Out of the blue, Kristen turned out of a just careless bitch into a batshit psycho, some crazy maniac with her devilish plan to make a trap for micros, to crush not only their cities but their hopes and expectations. As for Elliot, she leveled his personalized hell up to such an extent that decimated all I'd read in "Inclines". It was something Orwellian, I don't know how to describe it correctly. The satanic psychical torture she exposed him to, carelessly shoving people into her freaking ass to make him feel unimaginably guilty, to break him by countless deaths to weigh on his conscience was something that only totally mad person could come up with. After that, I couldn't understand at all anymore how could she could play with her daughter, eat with her freaking friends and laugh, etc. Crushing microscopic cities like a typical cruel giantess is one thing, even though I think that psychological arc of first 16 chapters wasn't long enough to deprive Kristen of all her previous feelings to tiny people. But THIS? By this chapter, Elliot had already got all my sympathies. He was brave, he had strong personality, he cared about people, and by playing guitar he did all he could to relieve people from the constant stress. And this evil bitch wanted to crush his soul exactly because of that, like Winston was coerced to really love "Big Brother" in 1984. She didn't want mere obedience and servitude from him because she'd already had it. I must admit, this chapter was astounding in terms of giantess' literature, almost a piece of giantess art. I almost had to rinse the grit off my face as I read it. I wonder if it added some grey to my hair, so horrific it was. Having read this chapter, I was just in anger. The only thought I had was "It must stop, it can't go on. Dear writer, let go already, do something, please! Nuke that incarnation of evil from the world of nanos, or put her away in a rehab, or arrest her, or kill her somehow, let her freaking brains be splattered all over her freaking house and let scientists take care of micros and nanos! This nightmare, this living hell has been dragging too long". But as for now, I read on and just hope that nanos find a way to get away somehow from this hell.

Author's Response:

I think the fractures in Kristen's mind were always there.  I never wrote her to be a good person, the gentle stuff in the beginning was just more of a maternal reaction, however, I do write Kristen to be a good mother, which is the juxtaposition of her being a heartless and cruel ruler versus an ordinary suburban soccer mom who loves Maddy and deeply cares for raising her daughter.  

Janelle I don't think cares about the tiny people at all, just about having peace of mind and actual friends for the first time in her life so she is seeking to preserve that by eliminating anything that could be a threat of exposing Kristen and Ginny. 

I take it as a compliment that it was beyond imaginable cruelty, it's so funny because I don't think about these things in my real life, like I would never want Kristen to exist.  The psychological torture that the people are put through, I don't describe as much, I almost want the reader to imagine it themselves in their own way because I'm sure people would "Want" to be there because of the kink and everything, but to really go through that would be hell.    Your reference to 1984 is great, I love it.  

But it does not end, Kristen is too powerful, but everything could change as Maddy gets older.

Yeah, I have to agree with sp180 that it was very disappointing (and unexpected) that Janelle arrived unannounced at Rasha's house and snatched away all of the micros before she had a chance to do anything with them. I was hoping she would cultivate them into her own sort of city like what Ginny (hopefully) is also seeming to do, and it looked like she was in the process of doing that, but Janelle came and ruined it. :( Oh well.

But aside from that, it is very interesting how the plot is now developing with the research Ostrov is conducting thanks to those videos Cameron sent. Which reminds me that there was something I had thought of since I left my last review from the previous chapter. You have said that there has been no communication between the rooms, but Parker had Justyna in her contacts (somehow). I realize it is just to move the plot in a certain way, but it is a plot hole if you really think about it. Because how did Parker have her as a contact in the first place? And if it has been there for awhile then it seems strange no contacting ever had happened previously. Anyway, its not a big deal but it was something I'd thought about.

As for Milya, her reappearance in this story (or some other of yours) was something I was wondering about for over 2 years now, and now I finally have the answer. I remember Milya who witnessed Ostrov's mysterious disappearance from that space station also wondered what happened to it. I guess she finally has her answer too. Although from her perspective its not been 2 years but actually 7 since that strange event transpired, right? But there's no way she would have stayed alive for 7 years, so I'm guessing there's some sort of time dilation or time traveling going on too, so that from her perspective its not been 7 years. If she has friends/family in Ostrov and is reunited with them (assuming they're not dead, which is a very big assumption indeed), then maybe she'll be shocked to see they've aged 7 years since she's last seen them, when it actually only seemed (to her) that like a few weeks or months had passed?

But just as we've found out about what happened to Milya, Viktor the scientist is now also teleported to... somewhere. I wonder if we'll ever see or hear about him ever again. But here's something that I was thinking...

What if Viktor got sent back to his home world. Maybe he arrived at where Ostrov was supposed to have been, but instead its just some flat barren area of the planet which is the empty void where Ostrov was supposed to be. What if that is what happened to him? And even though Ostrov is gone, all the other countries in that world are still there, and like Milya they are wondering what happened to Ostrov. Well, now there is someone who came back who can answer their questions. But what is even better, is Viktor is a scientist and he has knowledge about the research. With the help of some country (if Ostrov is the vague equivalent of Russia, then maybe on this world there is a friendly country equivalent to, say, Belarus or something) who can help him out by providing him with the lab stuff he needs and he can use his knowledge to try to bring Ostrov back from that end. Maybe having this work being done from both sides is part of the key towards stabilizing the connection or something? But of course things could end up going horribly wrong (and probably will). ;)

Author's Response: I know people are upset with Rasha piece in this story, but I have a plan, I just ask for patience, I can't spoil everything right now, sometimes there needs to be a reason for people to be mad at another character like Janelle.

I am so happy Rasha is back!! At first I thought Kristen was going to use Rasha unaware in a roleplaying scenario but I guess Rasha is a lot smarter than Kristen thought after figuring it out for herself and that's partially what made Kristen come clean to her in the end. Really look forward to seeing what Rasha does with the tinies that she took home with her. 

Also great cliff hanger at the end. Really interested to see what dimension all the nano people come from.

Wow, that was intense, like from zero to one hundred, and more than once!

I was happy to find out how Kristen trying to directly interact with just nanos would appear and that was amazing! I can imagine her appreciating their worship more if she can see them through their eyes with like them wearing a camera headset or something. I still wonder what it would be like for her to interact as intimately with one as she does with Elliot with his phone. 

Speaking of which, brutal and shocking. Kristen shows so many dimensions when her expectations are ruined--so cruel, demanding, and petty. The scene was vivid.

I, like probably everyone else, wonder how Rasha will interact with the micros, and further hope she'll soon interact with the nanos, too. She has a similar kind of questionable aspect as the other women who know about the tiny people.

That twisting hook at that end... Looking forward to the next chapter!

Author's Response:

Zero to a hundred is what I wanted.  That's the thing about Kristen, she prefers the micro room more because she can more readily see the result of her decisions.  With Ostrov and the nanos, she can only really see it if she interacts or steps on a city.  Maybe they could stream it eventually though.  

Kristen being petty is nothing new, but the way she did it this time seemed to extra, being sick of being told what to do, she let loose.  

But as always thank you for the feedback.  It's what keeps me going.
