Comments of chapter undefined of Haven

The story is going decent so far but I personally can't help but feel the development and pacing is rather a bit fast and hasty. I find myself constantly having to catch up to the developments and it feels like the characters are trying to catch up to the plot rather than the characters and the plot integrated together. It also beckons so questions, Julian's disappearance was so sudden and without context it took my by surprise (Emma later explained it but it felt slightly odd). The betrayal seemed like that as well, when it came I was just like "Oh... I guess they are betraying then." I couldn't bring myself to care so much as it was never given previous context and the characters that betrayed (Hector etc.) weren't developed enough for me be emotionally distressed when they turned on Emma (maybe it was your intention). Why did Emma not want to teleport to help Mila? Was there a point to be stealthy cause that didn't help since Emma just immediately rushed in not even using her guns nor ammo nor did I get any sense her groups were helping in the battle. It just seemed like Emma was fighting and I was wondering where is the backup teams that was with her? It would have made more sense if Emma and her group stealthily coordinated their attack with perhaps Emma going close range and her groups has depictions of them separating up the enemies and taking them down some with physical attacks and some gunfire. Maybe Emma should have some members hidden with guns ready in a distance monitoring the perimeter and anticipating more enemies to come (which they do come). It seemed odd they say they were doing things stealthily when they seem to do everything but that. Not that the situation would have helped by being stealthy anyways (they way did it at least and from reader's perspective) considering it not only wasted time and they attracted attention nonetheless. How did Emma and her group even find Mila? Scent? The ending twist with Adeline however was done decently, it had some context and history with the characters and it felt emotionally connected. I'm really sorry for sounding super critical but that's cause I care... Or maybe I missed something and is spewing nonsense. You are busy with University right now and your health is the most important. Maybe I'm assuming your situation but don't feel rushed to give out a chapter, take time off and recuperate if you need to. I would rather wait to have well-developed chapters (which you are definitely capable of writing) than having rushed out chapters that do little justice to the great story you have.
