thanks for the chapter.
I like it but I'm getting sick of the snow effect he uses. it's tiring to read, makes you have to concentrate to make out what else is going on. he shoulfd use it more much sparingly if at all.
Also, he spends too many pages on scenes where much happens for not particularly good reason. Did the handing scene need a back and forth 4 times? after the second self-serving plea, we got the idea. the main character should have just cut him off, made his speech about bribery then hanged him.
Also, the way the main character speaks is very unnatural and unwieldy. It feels dumb that he makes such long grandiose statements.
The bath scene was another example of a scene that took too many pages. what was actually accomplished in that scene that couldn't have been done in half the number of pages?
