    The story hasn't gone very far yet, so I'm really reviewing this as a way to inform other readers what they can expect. However, I implore you to not let the three star rating get in the way of having a look inside. The story and author both have potential, it just needs some polish, practice and postive reinforcement.
    But before all of that, let me repeat the synopsis.
    Man awakens in a forest, and realises he is actually hella tall. Man doesn't remember anything, but he knows he wasn't this tall or ripped before...
    This is of course, an isekai, or a variant thereof, but really, it's  just an excuse for the author to get right into the interesting bits, detailing our hero's journey as a giant in an unfamiliar land and body.
    However, while this does sound all well and good, but the story suffers from too much "tell don't show". The author summarises what could be multiple chapters of 1000 words each in one 700 word chapter. Chapters encompass multiple days worth of events, and the latest chapter encompasses months of plot and character development. While I get that stories have time skips for boring stuff, the story is only 7 chapters in. This is the time when authors basically get to write somebody else's diary, when the characters are learning the rules of the story. This time is for the author to lay the groundwork and laws of their little universe.
    BUT WAIT, DON'T GO! The story is still nice to read! The grammar is well done, the concepts interesting, and the author is willing and able to take constructive criticism and feedback.
    This is a story for the community to take an active role in providing feedback and constructive criticism for the author, so that they can absorb and grow as a writer, and make the story that they deserve to write, and we want to read.
