[1195] The Last Journey of the Alver

Hi there!

It's been a while since I have written anything big, so I decided to start work on a new novel. I happily welcome any and all feedback!

The "author" tells the tale of how he was shipwrecked. Therefore, I figured it made sense to have him start the story here (the ship in this chapter turns out to be the ship he would later set sail on).

Questions:

• Is it bothersome that the narrator/main character does not introduce his name yet?
• Should the narrator be more active here? From the second chapter on he will be actively involved in the sailing of the ship.
• Should I elaborate on, the father-son relationship (his father is the one who sends him away sailing later)
• Is this too short for a first chapter/prologue?
