Why? :'(

Why is it that no matter how many tens of times I spent editing there was some errors waiting to be detected in a later day?

Am I editing novels or debugging codes? ?

They are both similar tasks. Using language to create something, it only makes sense that debugging and editing would be similar.

Is it spelling or grammatic? Did you turn on auto correct?

If it is plot based, try to write out the skeleton first and then look at where the kinks are at.

If you detect 50% errors each time, it doesn't matter how many times you edit, you can't be sure you've found all errors. Add a couple factors such as tiredness and a small but real possibility you make a mistake while correcting and error, and you could spend hours on a letter.

This is where you introduce a concept of results against effort. When you first edit, there's enough mistakes that correcting them is worth the effort, but at some point the time spent rereading will outweigh the gains. You've gotta stop there and leave the text as is.

(Note that the result vs effort ratio can be heavily affected by used tools such as spell-checkers.)
