I disagree. The story seems to have a good pacing w/ all the shit our MC has had to deal with.
He's only 14 which means he's about to hit puberty, he's been coddled too much & it's for sure affected his development, he's witnessed some attempted murder, he's dealing with the whole mom situation, oh and did you know he's only 14?
Yeah, he's 14. That's the point of it. It's supposed to be a slow burn w/ our MC being unable to process his feelings.
Ultimately this is a major slow burn and it's not for everyone. The artwork is on point with the tone of the story so far.
