Editing help

Hello everyone! Been a part of the community since Nov/Dec last year. First time posting so please be gentle and hopefully supportive! :-)

I have purchased a few Codex's from Dana and I grabbed 4 this weekend (between server crashes!) and I am wanting to know the best way to do.

I have used Claude Sonnet 4.5 with the codex files in a project. I also do have Novelcrafter as well. I am able to get a first draft of a novel done. However, then when it comes to editing I get so lost in the weeds!!

I find that Chat and Claude will suggest edits. I tell them to do them and then it seems to get better. I then read and listen to the book and there are things that are off...like timelines, and remembering what happened previously.

I have a romcom that they are talking on the phone, she finds out he is a school teacher in one chapter, then finds it out again in 2 or 3 chapters after that. Seems like most of the story is her just learning he is a teacher and I am like yelling at my computer, YOU KNOW THIS ALREADY.

So then I hope maybe Novelcrafter will help with the "rereading 650 words of the previous chapter".

I have 2 drafts and I ask Chat and Claude which one wins...it picks the one with the constant learning issue. UGH.

I purcahsed Dana's NC course and did watch it. During it, she mentioned that she takes it a chapter at a time and doesn't do much if any editing...i was like HOW!!

Is there anyone with some magic prompts or a easy to follow process. I have a handful of purchased Codex's and I would like to get these written and ready to publish quicker.

I may just watch the NC course again from Jan but I am feeling like I am spinning my wheels here!
