    I wish there was more of this, and more like this.
    Of course I read the story it was from, but still, I want more wholesome romance like this. It's a sweet story, and I want more of it.
    It doesn't have to be lacking genitals like this story, but I feel I want sweet romance like this.
    It's good stuff.

    A nice, small collection of short stories revolving around the lives of some of the Kobolds in the Dragon Dungeon that a former Human has been Iseaki'd into. A pair, formerly in love, but afraid to comit due to their physical and societal differences, a woman who had never known love, but now finds opportunity, and the Dungeon itself, finding emotional platonic love with another who loves him in return.

    ... But what a chapter.
    I loved it, deepening the inside, day to day life of those lovely kobolds, with the heart problems, is at the same time disheartening and strangely soothing.
    Thank you for this snippet, and I hope you'll find the inspiration to give more of them.
    Waiting for it, I'll continue to read "The Heart Grows".

    This was a fun little side story and it was quite a bit romantic as the author alluded to in the piece itself. The writing itself is very strong and yet it balances the characters in their voice and doesn't resort to emotional tricks to try and get the reader invested. Sometimes it is simple and direct telling the emotional states and that is good to keep the pace and interest without trying to play mime. This works well most of the time, but sometimes the dialogue conveys it just fine. It gets a bit sappy, but it was a refreshing take on a bit of odd romance. A solid read!
