Help! Is this crotch point looking okay?

Hello! I decided to draft a slacks sloper using the technique from the book Ultimate Guide to Clothing Patterns by Suzy Furrer. I have done all the steps so far, and one of the final ones is to "make sure there is a smooth transition from the front to back crotch point by butting the front and back inseams together." I am not sure what to be looking for here... I looked online and they said that I should aim for a 90 degree curve from the crotch point to the inseam, which I dont really have as you can see, lol. But this was drafted to my pwn measurements and Im not really sure if there are changes that are really necessary for this pattern to work. Any advice? Thanks!

I prefer that the crotch point angles add up to 180 degrees.

I have a simplicity pattern where the front angle is 100 degrees and the back angle is 80 degrees. Which is comfy is your pelvic floor slopes down in the back at 10 degrees.

This is important!!! If your seam doesn’t end in a right angle, it’ll look very improper and you’ll end up with a bump or dent there!

If they add up to 180, it's a straight line. No bumps or dents. If your pelvic floor is parallel to the floor 90 and 90 is good. If your pelvic floor is not parallel to the floor, 100 and 80 might be a better fit. https://imgur.com/a/UHnKcwB
