>>>>> I suspect it feels slower because relativey little happens in each chapter compared to some other stories on here (instead with more focus on characterisation and description). Not that that is a bad thing, but it makes the progress of the story feel very slow and incremental. In contrast to other stories that have a lot of plot relevant action in a short period, and make a point of ending on a cliffhanger
