Your wordings are real good actually. Just needs a bit of fixer uppers here and there. Download grammarly on firefox, that's what I use, It's a lifesaver. But don't trust everything it says. Do more dialogues that are more dynamic, not sure how to say. But I feel that it needs a soothe of casual but more realistic in terms of wordings. Tell about your surroundings more often. Describe it in detail, but not too much, else the chaps get a little stretched, and peeps get mad sometimes. Stretch the story, but softly if possible. Take time for the MC to do something else that's irrelevant to the story, but still relevant to an extent. I'm not saying that you should make a filler, just stretch the story a bit. Don't run, it's dangerous, you can trip, just walk. Last but not the least, just a warning. Be intensely careful at what you're going to put at the beginning. The very foundations of your novel, is your starting chapters. Everything that I just mentioned were the faults I made at the beginning that even to this day, I still have a hard time fixing it. Why? Because they're so darn instilled into the story and have more than 80k words. Well, that's it from me. Good luck with your novel man XD
