Thanks for the feedback, and I appreciate your input on the story's beginning. The focus wasn't on the part where Alexander wakes up; it was intentionally kept simple and dialogue-oriented for a specific narrative purpose. I'm glad to hear your perspective on making it more dramatic, and I understand how that could add an exciting touch.
I'm open to all kinds of feedback, whether positive or negative, as it helps me improve. So, please feel free to share your thoughts, and I'll consider them for the ongoing development of the story. Your suggestions might just find their way into the narrative!
And by the way, thank you for reading my novel; I really appreciate it.
