Status Updates From Alebrijes

PROTAGONIST: The protagonist of my book is Leandro. A protagonist means to be the main character in the book. In my book, Leandro is the main character because he was introduced first and is the one narrating the book. He also uses I, me, my pronouns instead of he, him, his pronouns. Leandro has a little sister named Gabi. They are both orphans, due to their mom is dead. He cares for his sister deeply.

SETTING: In the story, the setting is in the city of Poscatel. In the book it is said a lot that they were in Poscatel, it also has a map of the city inside. IN the pages I read recently, Leandro and Gabi's "Tia" was taken away due to her having items she wasn't allowed. After that, they snuck out of their pock and went to escape through The Dead Forest and The Dung Heaps.

I am fighting for my lifffffe not to DNF. And it's not that the book is bad. Objectively, I can tell it's pretty good. But it's just so not my vibe. It's bleak and a total slog, but Leandro's LIFE is a bleak slog. It's conveying the vibe accurately and well but it's a tough one.
I'm looking at three more hours of this HELp

The genre of my book, Alebrijes, is a fantasy. I know this because I know this has happened in the world because these said dangerous "Alebrijes" Don't actually exist as a monster in the world.
