Good! I like that our protagonist is quick to get up after public humiliation. And the fact that she can turn the negative publicity around as attention never given is a neat consistency in her character. Probably the biggest advantage this chapter had over the last one is how much more of the character shows in the narration, sounding more and more like a genuine chat. Recap makes for an entertaining narrator when her personality is allowed to dictate the story.
I can see the motivation for Recap's leaving, but it seems a tad impulsive and peculiar. I can forgive the impulsivity, because this was the same character desperate enough to think plagiarizing the most convenient book she found was a good idea. However, the fact that a stable dweller would willingly leave her stable simply out of a vague plan for redemption, possibly giving up the only life she has known, is not as forgivable. I get that Littlepip did the same thing, but her motivation was driven also by naivety, lust, and a hatred for her treatment in the stable.
However, I suppose a life spent failing to meet expectations does plant such desperate thoughts within Recap. Yet maybe the choice to leave the stable should have been given a little more deliberation, because as it is, the choice comes way too quickly and way too easily.
But I have been enjoying the story and been able to care for the main character, and for that reason, I look forward to the next chapter!
