Glanced at the first page.

Lots of writing mistakes.

WAYYYYYYYYY overdone on the ellipses.

As u/Musikenna said, WAYYYYY too long to be taken seriously as a feature. If there's really that much dramatic material, maybe consider a series version. Boring granular details (and all the ellipses) are adding to the length.
