3 Emotion commentary after dialogue ('there was sadness in his voice')
4 Repeated abstract nouns (hope, wound, truth, fate)
5 Every character sounding alike
6 Uniform sensory sweeps (sight + sound + smell in every scene)
7 Simile overload ('like a…')
8 Conflicts resolved within the same paragraph
Rules: fixed sentences must be shorter and more concrete. Output the whole text, then [fixed: item numbers and counts].
