Are you telling the story you mean to tell?
Are your characters acting in ways that are consistent and sympathetic?
What characters need to be cut out to make the story tighter?
What parts of the story are unnecessary?
What parts of the story need to be deepened and expanded?
Where is the backstory boring and confusing? Where is it too thin?
Where is the pacing flagging?
Where do you need to foreshadow better?
Where do you tell too much?
Which chapters are your favorite and how can you make more chapters like that?
Where are you pulling your punches?
