I won't comment wether pacer is a professional or not. too many people is already arguing about it. What many people missed or just didn't pay attention to is the subtle hinting and a greatly played out twist. He killed Xavier but he is alive. That was already established since the start, and that inconsistency was once again played out in this prologue. I think it's great, would even pass as a one chapter horror story. Reminded me of a 2 sentence horror story from a forum. The said forum is hosting a writing competition for a ridiculously short horror story. It goes like this"The last person on earth is sitting on his room. There was a knock on the door." see it didn't have to make sense, It didn't have to be perfect. The inconsistency and the twist is enough for me to remember this short prologue for a really long time.
I think mc xavier and we see the events from (the assassin pov) who killed him. My guess is that mc really died there and isekaied. Because time worked differently, he got stronger there and somehow went back to the time before himself died. It's good that the chapters are long, but you put too many unnecessary details. I didn't even read some paragraphs. Also, when you want to show it from another person's point of view, don't leave most of the scene in there. Keep it short.đ
