Suspenseful, yes. It's a different sort of energy from the Battle theme and the pirate theme.

I've found myself rewriting my first and second chapters i always felt like i shouldn't touch them when i should finish the rest of my book first but that advice (that the first draft will always suck) has proven unhelpful in this case. i'm not aiming for perfection but the story changes so much from the first chapter i cant even recognize it as the same story. rewriting just feels like the right choice for me but i'm still mildly worried that i might be doing the wrong thing but just the thought of those to chapters makes me never want to read or write my book ever again so 🤷‍♀. We ball i guess

The thing about writing advice is that there are always "ifs", "ands" as well as "butts". The first draft will indeed always suck, and it is /sometimes/ best to finish the draft before revising something. It's easy to get stuck in a revising loop and never move forward. HOWEVER, on other occasions, it may be necessary to "go back in order to go forward" as it were. If something happens in, say, ch 6 or 8 or 10 (etc.) that you think would work much better if it were foreshadowed in ch 1 or 2, then go for it. Or if something just occurs to you mid-draft that you think needs to be changed in ch 1 or 2, then go ahead and do it. You don't need to wait. I've totally been there. I skip around chapters a lot as inspiration strikes and motivation swings. It's really hard to "do something wrong" in the first draft. Do you what you need to do.
