Okay, somewhat of an interesting chapter, but bad overall. Big baddie holds the lives of hundreds of people on his hand, and MC wallows in his sadness again. Time to look around for a person not there, and do nothing about the big baddie
Ah, the stereotypical short chapter. Most likely the author is trying to milk it out -- split up a fighting sequence into a crappy four-part chapter sequence, then charge full price for access (if it is in a magazine or for-purchase online).
