Hi there - Reading the first 10 pages, I felt it started well enough but once the dream realm began I really struggled to follow the action. It was fast moving, with a number of characters introduced quickly - Which to be fair makes sense in that narrative, but on paper is a tough read. A lot of text. Theres a lot to take in.

Look - This might be a flaw on my part, lacking the required attention, others may well follow with no issue. Though I would say, I don't think it's the readers job to be at studious attention, more the writers, to make the script as simple to read as possible.

I don't mean to be negative, I can imagine you have put a lot of work into this. The concept actually looks exciting and there's buckets of imagination here. It was just a difficult read for me.

Keep writing though, and embrace the joy of the re-write. Can be very rewarding!
