Explain Why Your Story's Big Reveal Isn't Landing

You know this scene is meant to hit hard, but early readers barely react. Paste the scene in and this checks whether the reader had enough set up to feel the weight of it, whether the pacing gives it room, and whether the point of view reaction matches the size of the moment.

**Explain** why the reveal is not landing. Work through:
1. Whether the reader has enough information beforehand to feel the weight of the reveal, or whether it comes from nowhere
2. Whether the pacing around the reveal gives it room to breathe, or rushes past it
3. Whether the point of view character's reaction matches how big the reveal is meant to be
4. The single most likely cause of the flatness, stated plainly
