A beta reader said my main character was 'just a list of problems' and it wrecked me for a week.

Yeah, that kind of feedback hits hard. I got a note once that my character felt like a "trauma vending machine," and it stung for days. The good part is it shows you exactly what to work on, making the person feel real instead of just their issues.

just a list of problems" is a fixable note, honestly.
