Which should tell you something about how good your minimum standard is...
I'm not flattering you, nor am I patronising you. Yes, I can see where your vocabulary may be less rich than you would like - but the fact is that you write an entertaining story, which is more than most people can manage in their first languages, let alone their second.
I know writers must be their own harshest critics, but it is worth stepping back occasionally and noting the things we are doing well.
Anyway... I liked it.
