That's not entirely true. For my re-release, I did some heavy editing, fixing many errors, merging some chapters, and rewriting some parts of the story so the chapter numbers and names aren't the same as here. On my Patreon, I will start releasing new chapters within 2–3 weeks for my members. For the public release, it will take 4-5 weeks before the story catches up.
Well, in this chapter I wanted to showcase the end of Darian's transformation from a poor villager into a rich citydweller and clothes are a big part of showcasing people's wealth and status. Don't worry there will be more action in future chapters :)
Well, it's the good old principle of "Show, not tell..." Ideally, you should write the dialogue in a way that the identity of the speaker comes naturally from the context of the sentence, and in that case, you don't have to write any "he said" to it. But that of course requires a lot of practice so for now, keep it in mind and try to avoid it where you can.
Good story, the plot is interesting and the characters are well developed. Still, I want to give you a few tips from a fellow author that can imho improve your writing... Try to drop the "he said," and "she said" in every dialogue line it's kind of distracting. Another thing is you should focus less on every mundane thing that Max does - remember you are writing a novel, not a journal. So focus primarily on things important for the plotline. But overall I think it has potential so keep writing!
I just wanted to lay out that he won't kill without a solid reason.
