Nice work trick. I enjoyed the relationship between the two colleagues and the agreement. A lot of good interaction and conversation between them relating well to the situation at hand.

Thank you very much! I do think that dialog is my strongpoint, ironically considering it is viewed by most authors as something to be loathed, and difficlut to approach. I feel my dialog flows naturally like real conversation.

You know, I really like Reynard. He's a really down to earth fox, even if he's enormous. I really hope that he finds someone.

Reynard has many inner personal conflicts within him. I hope I portrayed a realistic sense of what it would actually be like for him to exist in such a world.

Very entertaining read, Trick! You did a great job, can't wait to see more of Reynard. ^^

Obviously there will be a Part Two. I mean, I'm not Mel Brooks or anything. And I'm glad you liked it!

Nice, very well written!

Great job there! :)

Thank you so much!

'Twas a rather enjoyable read, and not just because of species bias - though I admit it was a nice perk.

I enjoyed the friendly sense of rivalry between Reynard and Beaudine, and the confident, commanding presence of Meshkov. The playful air of mock-seriousness and friendly yet efficient organization contrasted nicely with the later scenes of actual conflict with Agent Midnite. As someone living in America, I regretfully admit (though personally find it humorous) that the coyote doesn't sound too far off from the stereotypical USA star stereotype. Just bigger. You'll probably have more opportunities in future chapters should the story venture beyond the current nations :)

And it's nice having a story of a big nature that doesn't (..?) delve into adult situations. Though I might be the odd one out in your audience of followers, so if you have plans, carry on.

Last, but not least, you seemed to attain the realism you desired, too. I didn't have any particular moment that disrupted my suspension of disbelief, unlike some other stories I've read. There's enough technical matter and detail to capture my attention, too. I'm almost always fond of descriptions and environmental elaboration.

On a general note, I'd suggest having a link to the Google Drive viewer for those who don't want to download, e.g. https://drive.google.com/viewer?url.....ever_again.rtf Google's changed the location of their viewer a few times, but this one's stayed for at least a year, I think.

TL;DR - Nice story; cool perspective!

Nice to see this character again, was a fan of the dynamics from the previous story, and it was heartwarming to see how friendly he was in that one.

Also great to read about some backstory about the titans in this setting's history too. It felt a little bit random how it suddenly shifted to a bit of backstory on the history of the titans all of a sudden, but it was still nice to read about this setting's lore. The titans seem to still have it pretty rough, it's kinda unclear how much of a person people view them as if they are not allowed to live in or be around so many areas, and with how limited their job options are.

Though I did also have some criticisms, one was that it was a little hard to understand how the characters felt at times, it was like they would go from being perfectly calm to completely agitated and back (the part where that mouse commander reprimanded Reynard on his French comes to mind, I didn't even realize there was any tension there until Reynard's mental note to be on his best behavior), but namely, the biggest criticism I had was that the way Midnight acted felt a little bit forced. They mentioned how other titans can act pretty smug and superior and attempt to mess with Reynard, but Midnight felt like she acted like a dick just for the sake of being a dick rather than a realistic way someone would act, that she acted that way just to make Reynard look so much better in comparison to the reader.

(P.S. One thing that confused me, about that French line again, the one when Reynard was asked if he wanted water. I know nothing about French, but I ran it through a translator and it said that it basically meant please..... if that is accurate, I don't understand why saying please when asked if he wanted water was considered some kind of slip-up.)

First of all sorry for the belated reply but, you know, FA's been going all super-wonky the past few days so I've been someone reticent about keeping track of things on here and it's been awkward trying to even find some comments and replies...! Anyway...

"Would you like water?" "Please." That sounds fine to me...

I don't believe Meshkov was reprimanding Reynard on Reynard's French, but more like, showing off that the mouse did know some French.

As for Midnite, yeah, she's a dick for the sake of being a dick, and she's written so as an intentional parody of  Miateshcha 's big stupid Consortium titans and why the characters he created (with my assistance by the way) are so shallow and poorly-written and how he can't write a three-dimensional character to save his life without my help. This whole story is pretty much me being 'I can write his stupid setting with more compelling characters and an interesting narrative than he can'. His whole goal was to write a take of what macro giant soldiers would be like in a grounded, realistic setting. I helped him a lot with the pre-production work on that.

Reynard is a realistic fully-fleshed out character with emotions and motives and internal flaws and hopes.  Miateshcha 's titans are big stupid dumb things that let him write about how big and huge they are and how they are huge and big and do huge big things, and look at how huge and big they are, and all of his character background for them is forced and awkward and was even worse and more poorly written until I helped show him how to not suck at writing decently-rounded characters.

So yes, Midnite is a bit of a strawman pastiche of why  Miateshcha 's titans are stupid and dumb, and why Reynard is so much better and more intelligently created and I can write circles around  Miateshcha in a weekend what takes him months to write and polish.

Unfortunately this seems to be lost on  Miateshcha because he is too dumb and oblivious to notice this. I heard second-hand that he thought Agent Midnite would make a great addition to the Consortium. So apparently my satire is even greater than the real thing. Oh well, I'll take that.

I'm hoping we'll get to see a lot more of this setting. Any world with a mostly sane and functional macro/micro society automatically gets my interest. especially if it's this well written.
