If you want them to be less repetitive, you will have to find other ways to show it, or simply change the story around so there aren't many chase sense. Maybe change the area they take place, make said area more interesting, during the chase sense have one of them grab him, or have him kill a few of them. Show growth in the chapter/character, a new move, the character's intelligence with a trap he sets up, etc. However if they are just chase sense, over and over, the reader will get bored and question why your main character is such a fucking idiot and not catching on to anything yet. There are many ways to go about it, but like I've said, you're asking us to write something for you by providing almost zero info. Even though I didn't give you enough information, you gave me enough of an idea of WHAT to do with adding "hange the area they take place, make said area more interesting, during the chase sense have one of them grab him, or have him kill a few of them". That's what I needed, as dumb as that may sound. If that annoyed you, I'm sorry but the story despite being given a full summary is STILL in early development/it's first draft. Either way, thanks a million, Resdraon. You helped me a GREAT deal :) That's because I"m a pro.

Either way, in things like horror, a characters intelligence is key, as well as adapting to whatever might come there way. However, keep in mind that can be said for monsters as well. So, if the main character starts setting up traps, killing off a couple of monsters here and there, the monsters, depending on the kind, can adapt to it as well, and out smart said MC. The manga the promised neverland does this really well, and in it's current arc is using this plotline, so I recommend checking it out.
