For a USA native it's a large enough place to forget it's not everyone elses default. Pretty common to never manage to visit all 50 states in a lifetime or any of the territories for that matter. Most of my fellow Americans don't even know Guam exists. Heck some of the states are larger than...
My personal opinion is that omniscient 3rd works best as a precision tool used for specific scenes rather than as a general purpose tool. It's what puts me off War Record style stories entirely. Feels too distant from the characters for me to ever truly grow to care about any particular person...
Your map gives me strong Northern Europe vibes with most of those Brexit folks cut out and has primed me to expect the story will feel like it takes place in a cold wet place with long winters and pretty terrain. Yes, I saw your comment that it's Hong Kong rotated 90 degrees on a map but it sure...
Thanks for sharing that, I've never heard of that route before and had no idea it would be a confounding variable for the search. Makes me want to do a rebuild ancient Persia run in CK3 and see how developed I can make that stretch of land in game. Maybe reinvigorate Zoroastrianism as Jarl...

Short haired muscle mommies for the win. Long hair is too much work, short hair means short preparation time and more quality time together.

Probably not what you were looking for but I use AutoCrit for my own stories as a first pass editing system and here is what it gave me for your chapter. Picked a couple reports I felt could be of most use for you based on what stood out to me.
First report on repeated words helps you identify...
That would be nice be able to do, I second this motion. It would likely drive a lot of traffic to SH though if it became a popular technique; I obviously don't know the financials behind the site, but it appears ad revenue maintained and that would potentially scale in invasiveness with rising...
I have never heard of books being limited in distribution like that. It's kind of wild sounding to me. Wherever you are that does that kind of extreme thing I hope you're safe as a writer.
