• You're not sure what some scenes are contributing

  The contribution of an individual scene is unclear; repeated contributions across several scenes are a different question.

• There are too many scenes to see the structure clearly

  The arrangement is hard to see at all; uncertainty about one scene's position is a more local problem.

• You don't know where a scene belongs

  A scene's position is uncertain even though its contribution may be clear.

• Your chapter structure feels uneven

  The grouping and boundaries of chapters need inspection; overall reading speed can vary for other reasons.

• Several scenes may be doing the same job

  Several scenes make overlapping contributions; the purpose of each may be clear while their combined effect is repetitive.
