Lately, I've been working on a novel I'd love to get published. It is currently 15,000 words and developing quickly. Events are happening at the right word count (surprisingly) and I quite like it. However, lately I've been wondering if perhaps the speed of the plot is too fast. So far, there have been no filler scenes; it's just one plot point to the next. Now, this doesn't mean there aren't character moments, but a ton of events happen in the first part of the story. From this point on, there is no slow down either. Perhaps why I feel the plot is too fast is because I'm essentially cramming what could be an entire series into one book though it doesn't feel like I'm rushing things.
My question is is there a problem with "breakneck" speed in a novel? Do people tend to not be interested when a lot is happening? This could also be connected to pacing, if anyone cares to input on that.
