Good story so far. I like the multiple tiers of sizes and the massive difference in scale between the main leads. The fact that everyone's size correlates to their animal's size is a cool way of implementing size differences, and I'm curious about more of the worldbuilding stuff. I also like how mythical creatures are included, and it's not just normal animals. Characters are great (Ayla especially), and the plot's intriguing. Looking forward to more!
Author's Response:
Thank you, I appreciate these comments, even more so when they come from an author whose stories I really like.
I will see if I'm able to pulish a size tier chart when the next chapter is ready
There are lots of wordbuilding ideas and prompts that I've yet to clearly set and define myself, but the basic concept is that following a series of events, the various sentient species have evolved from animals and other creatures, and have maintained many of their progenitors' characteristics, including their size. Harpies, Sphinxes, and other mythical creatures (many are of Mediterranean inspiration, like in my TTRPG setting) are ancestral beings that precede that "evolution", while dragons have been influenced by it towards a more humanoid form.
I have some plans on other stories set in this world, including one that i've already started set a few centuries before this one, maybe i will explain these events in detail there.
I'm glad you like Ayla, I feel she has a lot of potential, with her being so shy and insecure, while she's one of the biggest creatures around.
