@RooTurboMoth would you be interested in reading what parts I have drafted for this short story?

I am almost done with the first draft of my story #Woethief. It is an epic/hard fantasy story about a girl who can steal other people's pain and shame, but cannot be free from that pain unless the person who gave her the pain dies.

Is anybody interested in being a #BetaReader?
