I read through chapter four. There are good things going on here. Such as, the attitude of the goblin, how he does not give AF and just charges forward.
The onslaught of grammatical errors drew me out with every paragraph. This story needs time devoted to a second or third pass over the words to eliminate these misspellings, shifts in tense, and other easily correctable issues.
Also, problems are introduced and solved within the same sentence. Stuff like "The tower was locked... Oh, here's a secret tunnel!"
I suggest you give us time to realize the problem. Give the story some space to figure out what the challenge is, and how the MC thinks about the solution. If there is a problem, fine. State what it is, then let the problem stew for a bit. Show us character by how the goblin solves it.
I think you should slow down, let the story breathe, and think about what you want to reveal with each scene. There is a nice energy to this that would be more effective with some more care.
