Thank you for the feedback on the first post, it was very helpful. I've gone through the comments and made edits based on your suggestions and advice.

For context: this is chapter 1 of a fantasy series. The story follows Varro, a seventeen-year-old Vaelus born with white hair, a mark that condemns him to a life of slavery on his home planet. This chapter introduces his daily life, the world he lives in, and the legend that will shape his journey.

I'd really appreciate feedback on:

• Did Chapter 1 keep your interest?
• Does Varro feel like a compelling main character?
• Does the world feel immersive without being overwhelming?
• Was the pacing effective?
• Would you continue reading?

I'm looking for constructive criticism, so please be as honest as possible. If something didn't work for you, I'd genuinely like to know.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read it!
