Best way to ask for early feedback on pacing in a WIP?

I’m working on a WIP and I’m at the stage where the core mechanics are stable, but I’m unsure about the story pacing in the first few chapters (especially how quickly choices start to branch).

Before posting an update, what kind of feedback request tends to work best here…general impressions, chapter-specific questions, or targeted questions about certain scenes? I want to make it easy for readers to respond without asking too much of them.

Would appreciate hearing what’s worked for other authors on the forum.

I recommend posting WIP related questions here:

General questions still related to pacing tend to work the best for me. Things like: Were you bored? Is there any part that was hard to read through? Is there anything that pulls you away from the story?

I’m not a published author, but open questions get more responses. Pointed questions are sometimes not understood if they’re too specific.

From what I remember specifically, Cloud fire has set up a feedback form and I need to go back and give my own feedback.
