Oh nice. I was wondering when I'd see more of this. Thank you. I see we're establishing Mr. Knight's associates. Presumably in the next chapter we'll see the slime settling into her new situation.

btw, it's spelled "Hierarchy"

I think this has a lot of potential and i know making comics is hard. But i feel like the art got... a bit weird in places. It looks rather strange compared to the 'chapters' before. The story is also all over the place. Maybe i'm just too smoothbrained to understand. Gonna read it regardless as long as we're not going to get some weird gender-politics shit (comic looks pretty western which makes this a concern). Lets hope for another update this year xD

I don't do gender political stuff. I just keep it traditional. There will be no magical "She is a girl, but she is the strongest girl!" I respect gender balances. You can have your one offs but I also wouldn't highlight it and understand your concern.

I've planned the story out a bit and I was intending it to be more of a slow burn so a lot of the questions I was hoping people have get answered slowly or has the reader start connecting answers for themselves till its answered. If you got any comments though, feel free to drop them now as I have not drawn all the future chapters and its not too late to redo storyboards and plan different courses before I draw it.

(P.S. The art changed because I found a style for speed, its a different blend. You'll notice strip 1-3 keeps similar lineart, but it becomes solid strip 4+)

Thank you for the criticism though. It's noted and taken into consideration.

FRICK- ACK.

Oh, that's a shame. I like strong women and feminism in my manga. That said, I like dom/sub stuff more, so I will still be reading lol. I mean, this is a story about a girl becoming a man's pet, it'd be pretty hard to make that feminist themed even if you wanted to.

A strong woman doesn't have to be a feminist though. I will have a strong female character, but it's not within the context of such. I can't spoil too much, but they will be introduced before chapter 11 most likely.

A strong woman doesn't have to be a feminist though.

And conversely, a woman with a traditional lifestyle can hold strong feminist values. I'd say that thematically, having a strong female character who is as capable as the men around her and acts independently of the men in her life is already fairly feminist, since traditionally women were considered essentially as property of their fathers until they were married off to their husbands (who then had legal authority over them). Feminism is about the right of women to not be forced into traditional lifestyles legally or socially. It sucks to get married off to some guy and then he mistreats you and you're not allowed to get a divorce, and he controls all your money, and you can't even vote to have any of the laws allowing that changed.

The feminist opinion is that being a female homemaker with no job and a loving husband and two kids and a dog is a fine and good way to live, but you should be able to choose to not get married, or to be a lesbian, or to not have kids, or have sex before marraige, or to have your own income, without society and the law shitting all over you for it. I think sometimes people get the idea that feminism is about like, 50% of construction workers needing to be women or something. It's really about women not being forced into a "female lifestyle" and not having their rights restricted in ways that men aren't.

These days, feminism has mostly won, so things that would have appeared as radically feminist messaging to someone from 100 years ago just read as normal.

In any case, I'm not expecting deep social commentary from a human pet themed rom com. In fact, I'd be pretty mad if the characters started talking about their opinions on abortion or marriage dowries or w/e.

Oh we have an actual gigachad mangaka here. First off, your comment is making a very good Impression and while i Like to seperate Art and Artist i think i will enjoy this Work even more now. With the limited Insight i have gotten i think my concerns regarding "Western" topics is duly adressed and your Standpoint very reasonable.
Please don't misunderstand me: weird does not mean bad. I do Like your Art Style and enjoy the unique features it has compared to the Standard Japanese Formula. I Just noticed the Switch i think.
I am very excited to See where you will Take this Story and if you say the Points will Connect in time i am more than willing to be a Bit confused at Times.

And just a Bit of paradoxical critique: i think listening do random smoothbrains Like me in regards to your Personal Projects is to be taken with a pinch of salt. Don't Take us and our words too seriously (perhaps including this here sentence too).
Please disregard my random capitalization, German autocorrect works in mysterious ways.
