I really like this chapter, it shows how Ais feels about the MC and closer they become and there feeling for each other will definitely continue to grow in future and become something more and Ais now has new goal to become stronger not only too kill one eye dragon and save her mom but also to protect MC and it’s same with MC after that incident he wants to get stronger so he can protect Ais and Ais knows that in her heart the MC is her Hero
I like the story so far, but for me personally that chapter was more difficult to read than necessary. Maybe because you used “I” in every sentence? I think first pov sounds a lot better if you try to minimize that one, it isn’t really necessary. Aside from that you are writing pretty well so far and the pacing seems fitting.
