I deleted some of the previous posts to avoid creating clutter. But you can find them here if you want to read other comments: HSH[1][2][3] RW4[1][2][3][4][5][6.1]
Very basic recap of the previous chapters:
Chapter 1 - You wakes up in the forest, enjoys his existence, follows the river to a road, gets helped by a trucker and taken to a local small town
Chapter 2 - You goes and walks around and comes across the local store and receives a name from the store owner (Henry) during his episode.
Chapter 3 - A taste of work and interacting with Henry who tries his hardest to turn Marco into a valuable worker using punishment and very indirect praise.
Chapter 4 - Zita, coffee and gym and peculiar strangers
Chapter 5 - picaresque adventure on a quest for wet goods (meat and vegetables); second encounter with Zita, discussion of Marco's issue as perceived from the outside
Chapter 6 - this one, now full with the second post.
Previous post - [6.1]
Important - the first part of this chapter won't make complete sense without the previous book.
IN THIS ONE I'd like you to focus more on action, emotion and embedded humor and tell me if they landed well.
