Not sure where to put this, b/c it's a question about beta reading, but not about any beta readers *here*.
If it needs to be moved, I apologize.
My question is, what happens when two beta readers take completely opposite views?
I got feedback, one saying that they loved the level of description in the prologue, that they could picture things, and visualize everything.
The other, that there was TOO MUCH description, to simplify.
It's like, "Cowbell! More cowbell!" vs, "Get rid of the freaking cowbell!" and I am genuinely confused.
