One person has criticised the pace of your chapter. So what?

Maybe Chapter 2 will open with 'Well, that was a lot to happen all in one day! Perhaps I'd better take you back to the beginning. It all started when...' Or maybe, as the story develops, that seeming jumble of events will be seen to have a reason?

Nothing wrong with tailoring the length of a story to suit its market. Shakespeare's plays had to fit in an evening at the theatre. Dickens' novels were written in chunks suitable for newspaper serialisation.

You say you 'posted it'. Where? Our comments would be much more use after reading it.
