RE: Petrichor - a novel in "open beta" - [M/f, minigiant, post-apocalyptic dystopia, slavery, military setting]
I am very particular about what I write, and even more particular about what I read, because - as a writer - there’s a certain emotional labor in having to read other people’s work. It can be exhausting; you’re expected to have a critique (or two); and you’re unable to dip below the current of the story and lose yourself to it because it’s altogether uninteresting.
I usually know within a sentence or two if something is worth reading.
This is it.
This is worth reading.
I love how you indoctrinate your audience in a sort of hyper-meta-critical nod of something that’s fearsomely alien but also unrelentingly familiar. We learn of this world in a very wide, instinctive way without being patronized. The pacing, the dialogue, the connective language that weave together elements of plot, narrative, and action are very well done.
I love the small but vital clues that I can excavate like a treasure-hunter. There are some anachronisms in some of the scenes, and outright contradictions (oil lamps coexist with lightbulbs) I think, much like an an extended conceit of how something obsolete (human) can coexist with something futuristic (lightbulb) which appears to be the driving force in this story. And this juxtaposition continues throughout in a way that isn’t frustrating: the mystery and the intrigue you have lain at our feet is arousing.
It’s slick. It’s provocative. It’s accessible without losing its center: an unapologetic dystopian cyber-punk war-drama that doesn’t feel like a caricature of the real thing.
I’m invested. I want to know what happens next.
After thought I often like to tease out what a writer’s subconscious passion is (aside from the obvious), in not the elements of the plot or the theme, even; but, I see a sort of affectionately-loaded attention placed on trees! How uniquely refreshing!

RE: The dominant tiny/submissive giant trope
I write about this. Strong women tinies that don’t roll over and die; not even when tiny. <33 I love this dynamic.

RE: SW in Gen V
@giantmaneddie In all seriousness though, as a writer that’s written scene blocking and pacing, that could have been written better.
There was too much lapse in time through which she left the bed; went to the toilet; returned, to have carried the momentum through of her humiliation.
