Charlie just gets cuter and cuter! Huh, so his changes are involuntary? Thought he'd changed to meet the neighbor. Love the mental image of the poor pup stuck in the pile of clothes! Is the collar a sign he's been claimed?

Oh c'mon now, @Buckyboi! I'm not gonna go giving away spoilers here in the comments now, am I? But it seems like it's hooked you in!

Gads, why didn't the narrator asked the boy what's going on? We still don't know if the dog was turned into a boy or a boy turned into a dog, although I guess in the world of the story it's as simple as Googling for it. Great going so far! And even though there's not much narrative going on yet, it's enough to remind me of that story from a few years ago where to test out a power, someone kills a dog. That unfortunate author just didn't understand the nature of dogs in our culture. I'm glad here's a story that really expresses the special nature of dogs.

It could be, @nycboot that our protagonist is... a bit of an idiot. But I've tried to base this story in a parallel reality to ours, so as much as it might pain me to admit it... drop me into a situation like this; where logic isn't helping me... I might just turn to Google for answers! I'll agree, there's not much of a story here yet... it's based off a dream I had and I've fleshed it out. I have the story mapped out in my mind, but let's see if you all like it!

A dog to young man...that is the opposite of where it usually goes. Intriguing. I look forward to reading on. Woof! (and interesting that this is the first story I read with the new "Romance" ranking category. I laughed thinking how it's the first time and I'm rating a dog story. But thinking of the several tender moments you made between the character and the dog, resulted in a high ranking for the romance category.

Well @PupScout, I won't pretend it's a totally new concept, but yeah - a twist on an old classic. I'm trying to reach a balance of fantasy and reality in this story... if such a thing were to happen to the average bloke on the street, how would you handle it? Especially if the person your pet turns into turns you on. I'm not 100% sure where I'm going, but it's gonna be fun to find out. Thank you so much for your ratings, I genuinely appreciate them!

Okay, there is a lot of reaction that seems a lot more... I guess logic is the word? Given the situation and what's happening. That does open the question of what? Jae is a figurehead now? The political power he holds or not is just confusing me now. I presume he has more limited power than we though... Okay. The small errors are here and there, nothing terrible. Lots of missing -s, some your/you/you're. Happen to everyone. But what does "on this walk" even means? Is that an expression? The couple... I like the fact they add a little feud over Dylan being too fast before quickly mending. That's something I feel happen to a lot of couples. Zane saying that Dylan has claim to him, in a way, that raised my eyebrow a little, but it's fine. I can imagine why he would think that way. Show that he actually don't mind the possessiveness. Differentiate him from Kai in the first story. A bit cute, thinking about it.

@BobbyBlobfish glad you like it so far. I'll post the next one later.

Love this! The introduction to the characters and the buildup to Chui submitting to Trey was phenomenal. Would love to learn how they got there, and maybe even see Trey abuse his position in fun ways with a mindless Chui. Excited for future and hopefully longer chapters! This eventual series looks to be a winner.

@Zanifornia Thanks! Hoping to have a long enough timeline to be able to integrate some different dynamics down the line! I'm stuck on one or two more parts for the next chapter but hoping to post up sooner over later!

Very nice chapter, some little faults here and there but nothing dramatic. I feel the same thing as with some of the previous story: In a monarchy, especially how Jae was portrayer in the first story, people shouldn't have nearly have as much power to talk back as they seems to think they do in this series. How could father Martin take Colt if he is locked up? Also, isn't Colt the younger brother of Zane? I'm a bit confused by that threat. Why is he bringing him up when talking with the emperor rather than with Zane ("you come, or I take your brother" would make more sense, if I remember correctly). On the other hand, If Colt if of the royal family, why would he be let anywhere near a guy they want to arrest? How could Martin get to him? The reaction of the parent was sadly believable, on the other hand. Hard conservative families believe what they want... And I still have some issue with the constant power unbalance. I repeat, but if one character has no choice but to leave with another, it creates a dynamic that is only worsened by the class difference. And the Morningstar are really starting to accept only people who have no choice but to stay with them or going back to their abusers... I do think the main couple is cute, i just would appreciate it better if it didn't feel like Zane accepted to marry a guy he known for a few days because he can't go back to his family. It feels more pragmatic or desperate than romantic.

@BobbyBlobfish thanks for the comments. I was trying to portray it as a bluff, Father Martin actually wouldn't do anything to Colt. He was trying to force the hand of the Mornignstar family to give him up, by taking one of there own. As for the power balance, I'm still trying to work with that more. Also, on the part of Jae having this absolute power, I'll address that too, because, he actually doesn't, but I don't think I ever touched on that, so thanks for reminding me on that. I can see how that is confusing. I'll take your suggestions and apply them to the next chapter.

@Jonanator Hum, okay. That explain a lot. Thanks for the explanation. It's always complicated to deal with power balances when there is something that clearly push in a favor of one character. Oh that Jae doesn't full power, okay. Really was not easy to see with him kicking a minister and generally doing a bit like he wants. Clarifications would be nice, indeed.

9/14/21, 6:09 PM
@BobbyBlobfish yeah, I'll touch on that in the next chapter. I'll post it in a bit

This is ... shockingly sweet. I'm very excited to read more of this!

9/14/21, 9:49 AM
Thanks @Jack! With 'The Devil By My Side' allowing me to explore my darker more complex side, I thought I'd just try to tell a sweet, simple story... I hope you enjoy it!
