>pic for attention and some relevance to the story in question

Two questions:

Firstly. I was hoping to tell the story I'm working on from, well third person limited, but primarily the perspective of a character who I'd ideally like to have their gender remain unspecified. And though they will have a gender neutral name, the name isn't even heard (technically given time them) until the end of the third chapter. I do have one specific noun I can use to describe them, though not proper, however otherwise it mostly they/them/their for basically three chapters. So the question is:
Would that become too annoying and off-putting to read as it is highly atypical? Is it even worth conceptually pursuing the idea to help the reader feel a sense of insertion if the language puts them off before they can even become hooked?

Secondly. The first two chapters, in correspondence to the whole "no name" thing going on, pretty much throw the reader into the world with no real information given about anything as the MC themselves attempt to discover what's happening. Minus the "they/them/their" conflict, I think this is actually working well. However reaching this third chapter, and the first initial milestone for discovery and information for thr MC and reader, I'm finding it naturally turn into many paragraphs of dialog that basically shed information on everything that was unknown up til now and details on what is to come as well as they soon "take the journey." My question here then is:
Would pretty much an entire chapter of conversational dialog filled with story and world building come off as tedious and boring to the point where it could put the reader off? Or maybe if the reader was intrigued enough to get this far that they may actually enjoy all the revelation and building?
