The most common issue I see in novels I edit? Repetition. Sometimes it's soppy use of AI, yes. But mostly it comes from an author thinking their reader is dumb or has no short-term memory. Trust your readers

Do not let your editor be the first person (other than you) to read your manuscript. I was just paid $900 to tell a very nice person that their novel needs a full rewrite. Not one single plot point, not one single character, was where it needed to be. It's not a good feeling.
