Scrap the first chapter (and what I’ll assume is the rest of the story) altogether and start again. Don’t leave an exposition dump every other paragraph, don’t make unrealistic, artificial, rushed interactions between characters, set your world up in a believable and enjoyable-to-read way, and don’t make your protagonist (and antagonist) be generic-looking Shonen caricatures Grammar is fine for the most part, though I recommend you use Grammarly for help. You also repeat yourself over and over while also trying to use descriptive words to, well, describe your characters, which doesn’t work. I had to look up two or three of the words you used because I legit never heard them being used in my life Pacing is bad and you try to jump to the main event way too soon Hyping your protagonist up isn’t a bad thing but the way you did it made it feel like he really was some pompous, inflated version of what a real person would be. You quickly gloss over his feats and achievements with backhanded comments, giving them zero meaning or weight For a first chapter, I give it a 3/10. Would have dropped the story halfway through and never came back
San is a form of addressing someone else with respect. If they're close enough to call each other "bro", "san" shouldn't be used
1st: is it that easy to sneak in? No ID? No check-up? No retina/fingerprint scan? 2nd: how didn't one of the most renowed assassination team of the world didn't expect their target to bring his personal bodyguard 3rd: what's stopping them from sniping him from afar? Can people here actually pinpoint gunshots and intercept them? The world so far wasn't pre-established to behave like this (but to be fair, all I got from this world were exposition dumps for the characters)
Nothing like another exposition dump to catch me off guard and ruin my immersion in the story
Feels like the introduction to a caricature more than to a real person
Feels like you repeated yourself at least three times here, at least to me
(...)and become more bigger... It's bigger, not more bigger ´-´
She's either naive or dumb to believe on a complete stranger she just met. I'm betting on the former
As far as first chapters go, this one isn’t that great. It feels rushed, without proper pacing, the main character is held in a high regard and is prideful of it (which is hard to get done right and I don’t feel like it was here), and all and all, this could have been better handled. I also think this being a common type of story doesn’t help. Either way, it has potential.
The soldiers *then*? Weren't they already doing that?
It should be "Looks like my family is famous". The way you phrased it makes it look like the family owns something, in this case, the fame, as if it was an object. I could be wrong though, English isn't my main language
I got lost reading this bit ´-´

Imagine being so lazy on your work you're owned by one of your students
This is something else It's been so long since I last stumbled upon a good and engaging story I kind of forgot they were a thing. There were little to no interactions since this is the first chapter and it had to focus on the backstory. I have great expectations from this and if you are a new reader, be assured: this might be worth our time
This chapter feels rushed, confusing, and everywhere and nowhere at the same time. I got lost more times than one and the poor grammar doesn't help me any bit. The exposition dump at the beginning could have either been better handled or removed altogether. Still, I see potential for an engaging story if done correctly
The Master suddenly went from being an old lady to being an old man
