IMO the expectation for novels to get to the “action” within the first 3-5 chapters often comes at the cost of fully fledged character arcs. first acts should be allowed to simmer more❗️

"I wait until all the books in a series are out before I read it" where's your whimsy. feeling crushed beneath the weight of the plot for a few months with like-minded heartbroken suffering peers is part of the experience. some things aren't meant to be binged, but savored

Stop letting your characters "sigh" or "smile". Stop letting your characters moan and gasp, too. Don't even let them grip the bedsheets. Tie them up. Gag them. Stop letting them peak so easily. They have to earn it.
