Critique on my fantasy chapter made me kill my favorite character
Last month a beta reader told me my main character was 'too perfect' and had no real stakes. She said, 'He never loses anything that matters.' So I rewrote chapter 12 and had his mentor die saving him. It hurt to delete those scenes but the story got way more tension. Has anyone else had to scrap a character or plot point they loved after feedback?
