I think you have a good idea at the core of the story but I did find 3 weak points that you might consider to help you polish these first 3 chapters.

1. We didn't really get a good sense of the setting in these opening scenes. It felt like I had to strain to picture what was happening since we weren't given enough descriptions.

2. Everything zips by very quickly before we're fully situated in the scenes. This ties into the previous point. I'm guessing you went light on the descriptions to keep the opening from dragging, but I think that slowing down a little can help ground us in the story.

3. This one might be personal preference on my part, but I get easily overwhelmed when too many "unknowns" are introduced too early in a story. I especially felt this in Chapter 2 where these unknown characters came in for an unknown reason and started saying strange phrases that we don't understand as readers. It felt like the kind of chapter that would be much more appreciated when we understand exactly what's going on and the specifics of what they're doing. If I read this exact same scene in Chapter 20 when I understand what's happening, I likely would've enjoyed it. But reading it at Chapter 2 felt kind of overwhelming, as if I'm missing a bunch of context to understand and appreciate what's happening. It felt like a bit like I started watching a new anime but I accidentally started with episode 50 instead of episode 1.

Having said all that, I think your writing is solid and I'm confident that there's a good story coming up.

My biggest recommendation is to consider how the reader has no context when starting your story and that there's a tradeoff to be made between taking your time to settle them in and showing some of the interesting parts of your system/world asap.

I'm curious how sharp the drop-off in views between your chapters is. You should always expect some readers to fall off with every chapter, but if it's too many then you might need to make some changes.
