You talk as if a purely innocent creature would willingly hurt ANYTHING much less kill. She had the power to shoo them away but all it takes a cunning plan to render her and her faeries into oblivion. I have seen this trope played out many times and it has never stopped working. Its matter of execution and nothing to do with the trope itself.

You know, something I wonder about- how come no one in the GG universe has considered living underground to get away from giantesses? Carve out a tunnel into a mountain, start by burrowing up, then down so that giantesses couldn't flood you, or smoke you out.
Cause there are probably giantesses down there too. Dwarf or Gnome giantesses or something like that.

Yeah, Nyxmay Update was great. She definitely went up a rank or two for me.

Mayren? Dude, she never gets sponsored and get's one update every 4-5 months. Regina, Madea and Naya get the most love.
Definitely the favored children, lol. To be fair, their routes are all pretty interconnected, so when one gets an update, it's enticing to see what's happening on the other side of the border story-wise.

She had the power to shoo them away but all it takes a cunning plan to render her and her faeries into oblivion, yeah, right, what cunning plan? She saw it happening, they couldn't just force her to freeze and watch, because that's not possible. Why do you think that Nyxmay is an innocent as her subjects? What kind of protectoress she was supposed to be if she can't defend herself? Even if being innocent and all that Nyxmay still could save them without resorting to violence. Stop confusing innocence with stupidity.
Then it won't be hard for you to bring an example, right? The insanely powerful character won't even try to save someone he/she loves only because of the "I wont hurt a fly" attitude. Name a few titles that are not a complete bullshit where it works.

Because there is no cave deep enough to hide or hold forever from giantesses, especially ones who can grow as big as Croixelle for example. Not even mentioning how many resources is needed to build such monumental structure without involving giantesses themselves. And you still have to eat and drink in that hole, which is complicated since there are no refrigerators or nonperishable food invented yet.
And most importantly - why? Why would someone do something like that?

To be fair, I can't really see any obivous favourites among patrons. Usually every character gets some love, except for maybe Pyeka, Kendra and a few others. It mostly comes as waves. It happened with Bezvalienne, it happened with Madea, that she even took the 1st place in that vote, while being among outsiders last time, it happened with Regina a few patches ago. People see interesting part of a story in a new update, people get interested in a character, people sponsor her in anticipation, then cycle repeats with other characters.

Pyeka got more love from patreons than Diula, Margarita and Mayren so she is not hated like Kendra.

That, and maybe she was evil too before losing her memory.
I wouldn't think there'd be any giantesses who can grow to Croixelle's size who'd be petty enough to destroy a mountain because some people are living there- and the ones there are would be too busy doing other things.
Half-orcs and mages would make excavation a much quicker process, just like how quickly they're able to rebuild neutral towns that get sacked by a bored giantess looking for some easy amusement.
You could bring food to the cave, hell, if the subterranean home doubled as a mine you could simply trade for food, which could be preserved easily by drying it, smoking it, salting it, or just using magic- there *are* normal-sized mages, magic isn't solely the purview of giantesses.
As for why, the same reason people choose to live in neutral territory- to live apart from giantesses.

I kinda think this is the case, myself. I can't imagine that they would have made friends if Vai'klis wasn't as demented as they were pre-mortem. That, and I think I heard that dark elves in GG are famously twisted and sadistic.

I got your question wrong. I thought that you meant to isolate from all the giantesses, not just save from those who rampage neutral towns. In that case, still, there are Nyxmay and Kendra who can grow.
There's a significant disconnect between the taste of regular patreon backers and the big spenders.
I wouldn't even be surprised if Kendra gets a sponsored update before Margarita or Sheina.
