People here are really nice, I like that. I've been in RR for a while now but never received any salty comments, just the "nice chapter" kind that also doesn't help, but my story isn't really popular anyway.
I received criticism here, some constructive, some very harsh, which helped me to improve my story quite a lot. But the harsh criticism was through DM so it didn't damage my rating. There was one dude who dropped my story, complaining, although very nicely, about my MC being indecisive, even though I used the tag "Indecisive Protagonist" and went the extra mile to portray my MC in a realistic way.
A lot of people here come from Novelupdates and we never really tolerated toxic assholes there so yeah. Its not a huge thing here either but we do get some from time to time.
Im a toxic asshole myself, so i should know.
Readers on their way to do anything but actually read.
people wanna bitch about certain things when I clearly put "Drug Addict Protag" or "Playboy MC" in the story smh. I warned you. Pfft. Thought I was playin...
Had to change an entire ending to a volume cuz of shit like that once. I mean, i liked the second version better in the end but i also liked the MC getting fucked over from his manwhore ways so im salty about it.
Its not out fault they ignore the tags but its just sad we cant comment on reviews to tell them that they're the reason teachers used to tell the class, "read the question VERY carefully." like IM the blind one
Indeed, that would be super useful! I'm on Inkitt too but there aren't many people there, my story barely got 200 views.
yeah Inkitt is like that. Like wattpad its more for erotica and that's a bit niche compared to fantasy. I dont even remember the views i got there but i only found that place cuz the cover for the incest erotica story i was writing wasnt accepted here. The story was published but the cover wasnt allowed, so i guess only anime tits are allowed here. Still mad over that.
Anyway, i liked it, Inkitt, for that exact reason. Just allowed me to upload the whole file. Lol its funny cuz they thought i was a woman. Still do, i think, even though i corrected them a few times. Accidentally uploaded a chapter there a couple days back. "OMG girl glad you're back."
I dunno why but i think people just usually think women write erotica. Which, i havent seen many softcover erotica from men so maybe there's a reason for their thinking.
