     - Stilted Dialogue: Characters speaking in perfect paragraphs without interruptions, slang, or subtext.
     - White Room Syndrome: Dialogue occurring in a void without interaction with the setting/props.

     CRITERIA:
-    1. VOICE & TONE: Is the narrative voice distinct, or generic? Does it match the genre?
-    2. SHOW, DON'T TELL: Are emotions demonstrated through action/viscera, or summarized?
-    3. PACING: Does the scene drag? Is there conflict in every beat?
-    4. CHARACTER AGENCY: Do characters make choices, or do things just happen to them?
+    1. ENGAGEMENT & TENSION: Does the story grip the reader from the first line? Is there conflict or tension in every scene?
+    2. SCENE EXECUTION: Is the middle of the chapter fully fleshed out? Does it avoid "sagging" or summarizing key moments?
+    3. VOICE & TONE: Is the narrative voice distinct? Does it match the genre?
+    4. SENSORY IMMERSION: Does the text engage all five senses (smell, sound, touch, etc.)?

+    6. CHARACTER AGENCY: Do characters drive the plot through active choices?
+    7. PACING: Does the chapter feel rushed? Does the ending land with impact, or does it cut off too abruptly?
