Review by Sunny
I have kind of a weird thing with male doms typically, but I LOVE the character of Prin. I never knew a flamey fashionista manticore was something I needed in my life, but it fuckin hits. I also liked the naming convention of the first guy he eats being Alex (or Alexander, as Prin kept calling him); it felt fitting from the perspective of the Greco-Persian mythological context of the manticore, and the legends of Alexander the Great. He's at once incredibly punchable and charming with his constant puns and quips, on top of just being your average evil corporate executive type. <3
Prin may have stolen the show, but I also loved the character of Elizabeth! It's satisfying to see a team leader actually do their job in any case, but her mental fortitude and genuine care about her employees was really cool in an era of incompetent/apathetic management being the norm. Her fire against fighting a literal man eating monster with his own sword was such a neat element. Good stuff all around!
The squishing/smothering element was something I really enjoyed from a less character focused perspective. It was interesting to see how intricately thought out Prin's biology clearly is, with his skin textured differently in different places. It made him feel like a real sort of creature more than the typical giantess fic "she was soft".
Overall the prose was readable and clear, very professional (and not in the weird corporate way, but genuinely like you were putting many long practiced skills to use). I don't really have much to say about that because there's nothing I can think of that's wrong!
Thanks so much for uploading to the new site, and a very warm welcome from the newly founded SizeFiction community! Excited to read more of your stuff <3
Thank you so much for the review! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for the welcome!
I'm glad you enjoyed Alex and Elizabeth! As fun as someone getting their just desserts can be, there is a real joy in writing about do-gooders getting the short end of the stick. The tragedy of someone as just and noble Elizabeth was ending up with such a fate despite her best efforts was an angle I really gunning for back when I wrote this, so i'm happy that she came across as admirable as she did.
I'm also glad you liked the smothering bit as much as you did! I was quite proud of how that bit turned out as it wasn't something I'd seen in a lot of other stories.
Prin was really fun to write being a mix of insufferable sass and terrifying gluttony. As much as I would love to write about him again, their owner, Prince_of_Shame has been radio silent for a few years now and it just wouldn't be appropriate to do another without their input. Perhaps I'll throw together a character that could fill the Prin shaped hole in my heart but until then I hope Prince_of_Shame is doing well for themselves.
