Uhh... Huh?
Isn't the point of publishing having people read it? Does it matter who reads it? They are all readers when they read. I don't get what your point is to begin with. You... do or do not want authors to read your works? I mean... huh? Very confusing.
The comment feedback section is invaluable. I find the ones who don't get it to be the most useful. The ones asking questions invariably makes me ask, "Did I give enough clues up until this point?" Then I look ahead and say, "The answer to your question should be answered by chapter XX" However, if I am not revealing the answer to the question later, or I have already explained it, I will clarify the logic behind what happened.
A few things may be happening:
1. You have a troll. Nothing to be done about it. However, do not just dismiss the subject as a troll until his behavior clearly reaches troll status. It may take a while of taking him seriously.
2. If you have drawn a reader into the story, they will find themselves liking the characters and getting invested in them. When you start to fuck over a character, people will get upset. Now, when you fuck someone up with an external actor, that's fine. But when the character does something dumb and gets fucked over, people get upset.
Nothing is more annoying than the idiot ball.
I have run into this problem myself. However, I have just revealed that the character is NOT holding the idiot ball, but has a separate soul stuck in his head and the two are currently fighting for control. This has been going on for quite a while. Now, the MC is being rather rattled by this and is perhaps a bit weaker willed than the readers might expect. However, I will admit, this is slightly contrived. I needed him to have a breakdown at this point in the story so the next chapter can happen. Is it out of character? No, however, it is a character flaw that I will have to include in the future.
Once I establish that the character has a problem with X, then X must remain a problem until he learns to overcome it. In this case, he feels like he's losing his mind and having a hard time holding it together when the previous occupant of his body resurfaces for soon to be revealed reasons.
Will the readers accept my logical actions? I don't know. However, in the next few chapters, all will be revealed and then they are free to tell me what they think. It is an invaluable tool.
3. It doesn't matter what you write. What matters is what they read.
All the intent in the world doesn't matter if what you read is universally understood differently from your intent. This is the basis of all communication. It is possible that you think you are writing one thing, and they are reading it another way. I had such a situation where I was reading one such story and the further I got into it, the more pissed off I got. I told the author so. It was so moronic. Until about another 5 chapters in, I realized that what was going on was that the MC was being tortured by his horrible best friend and he was in a dysfunctional
relationship. Suddenly, it all made sense.
His best friend was evil.
Everything fell into place. It was a brilliant subversion. I told him so. Now it all makes sense. I get it. Good job. I look forward to seeing where the story goes.
And then he blocked me.
And he blocked me, because the Best Friend... well... I think now, in retrospect, was a self-insert.
Yeah, I told the author his self-insert was clearly satan himself and I looked forward to seeing how the story progressed, because I really loved to hate that asshole.
Ouch.
Well, I'm sorry, but the story made much more logical sense when you see his friend as evil. And his friend was evil. Selfish, narcissistic, overshadowing the MC and manipulating him. I mean, I could go on, but you get my point.
I have no doubt that author thought I was a Troll, but... sorry. I just applied logical and narrative rules/tropes. You wrote an evil character. Sorry. I loved the evil character. He was great as an antagonist. But the author was pissed and blocked me.
Ah well.
His loss.
Which one is your reader? I dunno. However, I have no desire to ever shut down someone second guessing me. I thrive on that. Being pushed to justify my choices? Awesome.
Alas, I think few people think the same way as me.
