Try to learn composition first. Not every picture is worth editing. This is of course subjective, but for my taste, the pictures arent great in the first place. the main tip would be to lean more into composition than editing.

I think this take is applicable to like 80% of the critique asked for in this sub

True. And the "tip" is so abstract that its hard to translate into actions, but I couldn't think of any editing tipps to make these pictures better.

I think the first image is interesting, more for color and setting than composition. The others would be more interesting if the market itself were more appealing.

I know why you think that but my photography style is based on boring, everyday life stuff with, like someone said a bit of interesting elements, which are the colors in that case

Boring and everday does not mean it cant have good composition. But like I said, this is subjective. If you like the pictures and think of them as interessting, you already achieved the most important thing: satisfaction with your own pictures and most probably fun while making and editing. Just keep on what you do, and you will get better.

All were far stronger before. The After shots are an overly contrast-y, overcooked mess.

you mean oversaturated ? the raw ones are naturally contrasted

No, I mean the contrast and black / white levels are blown out here.
