Hi! I am looking for big picture feedback on whether the dramatic irony is a draw forward... are the characters believable? Are there elements or scenes that throw you out of the story? Are there key elements that pull you in?

F.O.Gameiro @fogameiro.bsky.social · 09/04/2026
Thank you! Right now, I am desperate for big picture feedback. Is dramatic irony pulling? Are characters believable? Does the plot make sense? Are there scenes that throw you out of the story?
