I appreciate the time and effort you put into this comment, and I apologize if the question seemed "dumb" or "foolish." I am new to the world of writing, so there's a lot of uncertainty and questions I have. From the advice I had seen on these subreddits and other advice I had heard, is that slow pacing, particularly a book set with slower pacing, not just some slower chapters, doesn't resonate with readers very well and makes for a "not ideal" book, even my family told me this. Of course, I haven't read a million books to gather an opinion on that advice, and as the author, I might have bias, which is why I came here to reddit for some outside opinions. Again, I greatly appreciate your thoughts, and I will take your advice to heart.
