It would have been bettern if you hadn't listed it then. You should have just not told us anything about it and waited until you wrote it in this chapter.

You still would have known in the 3rd chapter when the japanese man said who had died.

That didn't have to do with dice. You were just unlucky to encounter one of the major antagonist characters. Bwahaaha.

I don't think you should have done that either. You say you want to add mystery and suspense, but telling us who has died, whether you directly telling us or a character in the story telling us, takes most, if not all, of that suspense out.

It is much more suspenseful to watch a singal character wander through a dense jungle, clutching some poor weapon, nervously looking around for any movment, any sign of an attacker. He doesn't know who's still alive, who is near him, or anything.

That would be much better than, first, knowing all the characters who are alive or dead, and second, writing a scene like that only with much less build-up or suspense.

You don't know what you want. Your first complaint was you didn't know how everyone had died.

No, I was complaining that you told us all of the deaths in a list, but didn't tell us what happened. If you wanted us to know, at that point, who had died and who had not, you should have written it in the story instead of giving us a list. That's tons of story-telling that's wasted.

But then you were saying that you were wanting to add suspense by telling us who had died, but not telling us how they died. I was saying that you could add more suspense by not telling us everyone who had died and who's still out there hunting.

I'm not trying to tell you each little thing you should do with this. This si your story and you should write it how you want. I'm just trying to help you do that better.

I'm trying to give advice on how to improve, not demands to make this like I want.
