I don't understand what my mistake was.
I didn’t find him too fictional because I believe there are people out there who might seem flawless, but if you’ll look at his character, you’ll see that he had his flaws.
This was the editor said- This sentence incorrectly phrase the future real conditional.

Based on the sentence you provided, I believe that this section is the problem... "but if you’ll look at his character,...". I think that the editor had a problem with the "you'll", because it should be just "you".
Mind you, I did look it up on Google just to see what future real conditional meant (as I had never heard this term before). I hope that this cleared it up a little bit for you.

Even though I am not expert, i am inclined to agree here. But that is alien to meraluca_mihaila wrote: ↑16 Oct 2020, 12:05 The problem is with the second part. It should be: "if you look at his character, you’ll see that he had his flaws."
