This is an excellent start, not rushed at all! I think it strikes a fair balance between introducing the parts that changed, and all the things that stayed the same, with taylor. Introducing the tension between her servant self and her current self seems pretty central to the story, so the slow start works well.
These first chapters also set a good foundation of what her skills and abilities actually look like in a lower stakes section, and now that she is choosing to use them it should make it super interesting.
Great work so far, i love both worm and fate so this is definitely a work ill be following
I'm glad you enjoyed! And yeah, the tension is something more rooted in her psychology and philosophy - and something that will be explored as the story goes on. Sorry if the prose was a bit all over the place - but Taylor is a bit fractured in these prologues, so I thought it fit.
The symbolic summoning is the first steps she's taking to resolve that - and I'm already working on what she'll be using on her outings. Will be a bit slow for another few chapters - but the action will come soon, I promise!
