What do you call the rate at which a story moves forward?

The rate at which a story moves forward is called pacing. It is described as how fast or how slow your story develops. Pacing is important because this will maintain the interest of your readers to keep them attached to the story. Depending on the genre of your story, each has their own pacing. But the most important thing to be considered is balance. It should not be too slow and not too fast too.

Sweetness and love, happiness etc.
