Alright everyone... here's what I've got for KCLKF. Thank you so much for reading. I know everyone's at different places in the story, but for now, we'll say Arcs 1-7. If you can't quite make it by weeks end, that's fine. This story is intended to a coming-of-age tale (with fantasy, supernatural, crime/mystery elements included). It is also very loosely based on my own experiences as a younger teen/young adult.
General Questions:
1. All my Sims stories take place in the future (with an alternative history on Earth) on another planet (Simterra). What do you think of the worldbuilding? Does everything make sense? What additional questions do you have about the world building?
2. I put little Author's Notes at the bottom of every chapter. Are they useful? Do you like them? Do they help clarify things from the chapter?
3. The chapters are broken into arcs. Is this helpful? Do you find the breaks natural? (sometimes I use cliffhangers) >:)
4. What is your initial impression of Kass, my main character/the protagonist?
5. The first part of the story is most definitely slice-of-life with some elements of supernatural/fantasy and mystery thrown in. Do you like it? How is it similar or different to other slice-of-life stories you've read?
6. Any thoughts on my writing style? The length of chapters? The pacing?
Arc Specific Questions:

1. Kass is intended to be a flawed character. She isn't perfect, but I feel this makes her more realistic. Do her flaws annoy you or deepen her character? Or something else entirely? What do you see as her strengths/gifts?
2. Do you have a favorite character so far? Do you have a least favorite character? Who do you want to know more about?
3. Do you have a favorite scene/chapter thus far?
4. Any future predictions based on where you are in the story?
