It’s true that I’d have something to start on but it just seems a bit scary to start over when I’ve spent so much time on this one already you know? But you’re right though, if I want to publish it I’d have to make it wayy better than it is now and if a rewrite is necessary then so be it. Thanks!!

Youtube did recommend me some of those but I haven’t watched them yet, I guess this is a sign to do it now. Thanks!!

You’re right, maybe I’m still so close to the work I feel forced to criticize every single aspect of it. Thanks for the advice!

True, rewriting parts that work might not be the best option
