Real-time reader completion per chapter
92% of readers were captivated by the Chapter 3 cliffhanger. Attention slightly dipped on page 48; tightening Anton's monologue before the murder will restore maximum tension.
"The ending of Chapter 3 gave me chills. I genuinely suspected David until Anton entered the warehouse. Couldn't put it down!"
"Dialogue in scene 2 is razor sharp. On page 48 I was slightly confused about the timeline between the phone call and the car."
