Skimming has helped the present-tense presentation not be so bothersome. It's also helped me skip some of the minutia of the anatomy of a ship.
I get it. You did research. That's fantastic.
Now, let's work on giving just enough information for atmosphere but not so much that I feel like I'm in class being lectured on the subject.

The last 38 percent was pretty amazing. Didn’t really make up for the first 62 percent, but it gave me hope for future books by this author. Love the very happy note the story ended on!

Wow! The last 32% has been the best of this book so far. Lots of plot twists I didn’t see coming. Not fully realistic, but it still brought tears to my eyes at one point. Definitely potential here!

What is with these sound effects? The dog is kicked “Thud.” The girl is hit. “Pop.”
Feels like we just slipped into an old comic book.

How does she gasp and keep her mouth closed at the same time?

So she’s dangling by one hand but somehow in a crouch. Then she stands… on what, water? This just got super unrealistic.

Things just got exciting. Not sure how much longer I'll read (the present-tense presentation is hard to read), but the girl just lost a lot. I'm curious enough to at least skim a bit to see what happens next.

Two chapters in, and I haven’t yet decided what I think of this one. The present-tense POV is driving me nuts… but the leading lady is a hunchback who has been captured by pirates. I’m somewhat intrigued.
