I have concluded the first arc of my story at 11,000 words. I think that probably makes it ready for critical feedback; or that it is long enough or finished enough or ready to be judged as a whole. Uhhh, I don't really know how to do this. I ask for things you liked and disliked. I admit the actual plot is a bit weak, but I think I can strengthen it later on in the story when I reveal the character's motivations behind their actions. And some characters might seem inconsistent but it's for a good reason! That I have yet to explain in the story so far...
I don't have very many readers. And I am thankful for the ones I do have. But half of me wants to end the story as it is and start with something new that has a chance to become popular, like an isekai or litrpg. And half of me wants to continue with the story because I have an idea for a future future chapter that might turn out half good. Maybe I should try to write both. But then I'd feel like the chapters would update even slower than they already are.
I think it's good. I'm pretty sure it's good. I'm 55% sure it's good. The middle chapters are a bit messier than the rest because I haven't edited them like I did the earlier chapters, and I believe my later chapters are the best written of them all since I had the most experience while writing those. The reason I don't immediately edit the middle chapters is that I like to edit an older chapter before I edit a newer chapter as a way to wipe my mind of the newer chapter.

The End.
