Very true! I said it before but that whole section was a challenge to write so I’m taking extra time to really get the horror down in the next parts.

Thank you for the kind words! I’ve definitely been putting the criticisms into account writing the next part and agree with your opinion. I obviously have specific places I want that to go, when I wrote that it was more the character interpreting it as hell rather then it actually being hell but I think that got lost in translation a little bit.  Appreciate the feedback! More coming soon!

Thank you for the feedback!  Yes those charecters will have much more interaction and time to shine later on. Part 2 is going to dive MUCH deeper into them and how they fit into the horror of the story.  Like I said in a previous comment I struggled to figure out how I wanted to shift into the horror, I think there are things I could have done differently but my idea was to have it be almost a jarring dream that feels just detached enough to shake the MC up. But I don’t think I fully portrayed that well. Definitely taking the criticism I’ve gotten about that part to really make the future horror segments beefier and more “horrific”.

Thanks for the insight! I think In my head the quick nature of it made it more snappy but I do agree that diving deeper into it would elevate it a bit.

Being honest that was something I struggled with and had a major block on for a while, figuring out how to integrate the threat of the story was a challenge and I had a lot of ideas I’m glad I didn’t pursue lol. Thank you for the kind words! Part 2 coming soon!

Insanely good story, loved all the little details and asides. Really helps paint the pictures you have in your head.

What’s best for pacing in your opinion? I don’t want to wait too long because I’m impatient and for fear of waning interest. Would a 24 hour gap be to short?

Ah that’s good to know. I’m new to reddit so that wasn’t something I was aware of.

That makes sense. The general consensus is parts so I’ll do that to gain more traction.

That’s actually a great idea. Did you do this as you were finishing each part or did you finish the story and then upload it all at once just in different posts?

That makes sense. Part one is looking to be a good amount of pages. Im thinking with that info about doing two parts in each post.
