It’s not enough for just one character to react. Readers need to see how all of your important characters are reacting (together).
Especially the [[impact characters]] (broken link, note not found), they should get to react to every major plot beat together, if possible.
Want to instantaneously get twice as much out of any character reaction? Easy-peasy. All you need to do is have him share his reaction with another character.
