People actually have beta readers?
Honestly, I haven't met anyone who is as pedantic as I am when it comes to editing or really just checking if the narrative makes sense. xD I used to check in with a buddy who went about writing and character development in a similar fashion, but he hasn't had time to really write in maybe over a year, so naturally we've already developed in different directions.
I'd rather pay an editor for future polishing than give others my texts when I see faults in my work that they miss in the end. Comments from readers and fellow writers for all the small things like typos or grammar confusions are welcome, though, but other than that, I'm too deep in the process anyway and a beta reader would just distract me from it. xD
