I do think this is the ideal length of a chapter of this story. Very gentle and casual, no rash sudden implications or anything. Some sexual teasing and stuff here and there but it’s very nice. Looking forward to more.



Author's Response:

They both love each other, and love to tease one another, its only reasonable that it would be a bit sexual at times!

And, yeah, whenever a story just goes "whoops, sex" ya gotta suspend your disbelief, which can work in a lot of cases. Still, I wanted this story to force the reader to stumble along with Lena and Ryan as they figured this whole "love" thing out :)

Again, doing great so far, but i was a little confused with the size difference between them.



Author's Response:

Thank you for the follow up review, very much appreciated! Ryan is 1.5 inches tall (3.8 cm) and Lena is 5 foot 7 inches tall (1.7 meters). I have a minifigure from a dnd campaign that I use to see how big Ryan would be compared to something.

Well, well, well! Look who decided to regale us with a lovely, long-form, gentle romance! 

I was terribly happy to receive your review on "borrowing a bite," and checked out your profile to see if you'd written anything because I figured we had similar interests. I was a little sad to see you hadn't. So, Imagine my delight when I logged on less than a week later only to learn that suddenly you had dropped a gentle story with a vore tag! What's more, by the time I got around to reading it, there were TWO chapters totaling around 15K words, and it looks like you're only getting started! I'll just say, when the content is engaging and the build up is enticing, there's really nothing like a good "slow burn" as you described it. 

Furthermore, you've made a point that you're entirely opposed to fatal vore stories, and I have to say, even though I sometimes include fatalities in my writing, gentle/willing/safe is my ultimate favorite content to consume and there's dreadfully little available compared to the alternatives, so I'm thrilled to see you delivering on the sort of stuff that you, yourself would prefer to read. "Be the change you wanna see," and all that. 

Regarding this story specifically; I love how simply relatable it is for a young adult in this era. I thoroughly enjoy the interactions and your attention to detail. You've got us all enthralled! (18 reviews on a mere two chapters in less than a week?!) you've certainly stricken a special chord with many of us like-minded saps, it seems. I think I speak for many when I say we can't wait to read more!! 

That all said, I'm all about being patient and allowing you to take as long as you want or need to deliver on this wonderful set up. It's like you said regarding my story; burnout is all too easy to slip into. That in mind, I have to say that your story is inspiring me to return to certain abandoned (paused) projects. 

Anyway. Stellar work! Love it so far and eager to see how you handle the later content! 10/10, favorite story in a hot minute! 



Author's Response:

Yes, hello! I'm glad you were able to find this story and that you're liking it so far! I actually held out my hands at the screen and said "Xiao!" when I saw your review. I certainly wasn't expecting such a welcome reception to my first story here (from you and 6000 others), but I'm not about to complain.

It was actually your story that made me buckle down and get this out in writing. I actually went through your favorites to see what else you might have found that I hadn't. But, I ran out of stories to read and it got me thinking about ideas I'd had over my time in this community. It's one of those ideas that has been bouncing around inside my head for a couple years, so I'm glad I was able to sit down and write out something that uses those ideas.

I'm a "you do you" sort of guy, so while I don't like fatal vore, I'm not about to try and get other people to not like or write it (though I do wish there was a death tag, so I knew where not to go). Unfortuantely, fatal everything is very prevelant in this fetish. So, as Thanos said: Fine, I'll do it myself.

I wanted a world that wasn't super fantasy, and was easy enough for my characters to live in. I wanted to focus on these two almost exclusively, so haveing a discord-like chat that I could use to have them interact with others early on was something that just sort of happened that worked out. Hitting a balance between giving readers all the details they could want while understanding what details Ryan or Lena would pick up on has been difficult, but they tend to focus on important things, so that's worked out for me. I'm glad to have struck a chord with these two!

While I have yet to hit burnout, its been very easy to get myself writing this story. The downside is that its been a little too easy, to the point that I can't NOT write at times. But, I deal with it, usually by playing For Honor or something stressful. I wanted to have chapter three out tonight, but while proofreading what I had already written for the unfinished chapter, I added about 2000 words in the middle, throwing off my hope to tomorrow at the earliest. Once I get these two dorks to the end of the day, I'll go back and proof-read to see if anything needs to be added, romoved, or reworked then check for errors. Then, and only then, can I post it.

I do hope me being inspired by you inspires you right back, because that'd be pretty poetic. Whatever you unpause, I can't wait!

Thank you for the 10/10 review, I'm overjoyed to learn that you love it and I can't wait to get you (and everyone else I've somehow roped into this) some more chapters!

PS: I am terrified of that later content :)

An extra $3,000+ isn't going above her monthly living expenses. If that's ontop of rent, bills, groceries, and her normal liftestyle etc.. damn Ryan, you've found yourself a big sugar mama without even trying or wanting to.

It is great to see that this gentle romance genre of story telling has been having a comeback recently because it's by far my favorite. Despite not having much action in it, this story is a pleasure to read! I'm really enjoying the character's and their interactions. I just want to watch them come together (I'm a sap for romance). Keep up the great work! 



Author's Response:

I'm happy you're enjoying the story so far! This is actually my first attempt at writing anything close to romance, so I hope I don't disappoint!

Honestly, amazing.

 

Just made an account to review this and give it 10/10.

 

Please write more!



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for the review, and the 10/10! I'll have the next chapter finished later this week, maybe before wednesday.

One of my favorite new stories. It's been awhile since a masterful gentle story came out, and the characters are so well fleshed out! Looking forward to seeing them break through the building tension!



Author's Response:

MASTERFUL. I don't think my writing has ever been called that, thak you for the high praise! It really means a lot! I'm glad you like the characters, they were fun to workshop. 

I can't wait to get the next chapter out!

Another great chapter! You're hitting on a lot of themes that I enjoy reading and writing, and it's always nice to see a new story in that genre. I'm looking forward to more! Take care.
