Wrote a novel, revising - now I hate it

Postby Zero ❍ » Thu Feb 15, 2018 4:20 pm

      Here is the synopsis.
      Basically, I have put a lot of work and effort into a novel and even completed it within the span of two years - already edited it three times over, and it is 344 pages long (word doc).
      When I created the book I loved it at first - I was so engaged with it, I felt rather confident in it. But as I began revising more and more, I've grown to hate it. This is due to various reasons: I feel parts of the book go way to fast, plot points appear randomly thrown in, the plot is too straightforward, and I don't like the ending. That is to name the most basic reasons.
      Problem is, I still love the concept and characters (even though I still don't feel the same passion for them). I am still very much attached to this book but I've seen to have grown a grudge against it and it's badly hurt my confidence.

      I am trying to decide whether to keep the book as it is and simply tweak it or completely rewrite it. Or if these are even issues and have I just been putting it down with expectations.
      I'm not sure how to approach this and any help/advice would be -awesome
