Hey I've just been been going through the story and I noticed how slow paced it was. I introduced majority of the key elements and noticed the story seemed not to be going anywhere most of the time and just focused on introducing to many aspects. So in the coming chapters the plot will truly kick off. Having more fights as I said before more focus on the hero aspects, Takhar,the four families, Kujitenge and the disasters etc.
Also if any of you are wondering about the canon characters than don't worry I've already found a way to incorporate the aspects of the original work in my story.
