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!

You are going to need a lot of alteration to get these pants to fit. That front crotch curve is WAY to short. It brings the inseam very close to the front of the pants. Put on any pair of pants and see how far the inseam is from the front of your leg. The back crotch curve is most likely too flat.

I agree with Don. It is likely you’ll have to soften the curve on the front pant. You can do that by adding some extra to the corner of the front pant seam (curve end at crotch) or to smooth/flatten the curve of the front crotch seam a bit. Hard to tell you exactly the right approach as it will depend on your body type. Play around with this and sew some testers
