I could relate to that. Most of the readers there would nitpick at something I wrote. It was great that they are nitpicking at something I wrote since I honestly want to see if I did something wrong in my story. However, most of the time, they would ask some questions that should've been answered if they only read the novel carefully.
Well, it's fine to ask questions as long as it's got a legit basis.
Dont worry the community here is good you wont be getting much, if any, of that bullshit.
I agree to this. So long as you know what direction your story's going to take, you'll be fine.
its often going to come down to personal taste in reviews. Unfortunately few people give unbiased and thorough ones. But sometimes in places like that you just have to tell them, " fuck off its my story i do whatever the fuck i want with it"
Hahaha. Those people are from Webnovel. If your novel happen to catch the attention of those, and I quote, "whiny little bitches", they will come flocking to your story and whine at the slightest thing that they don't like. Well, of course, there are also some cool people there.
Now THAT'S what I'm saying. Hahaha.I just posted there and a reader give me 3* rating because I don't want to give him/her spoiler. So I know what you mean
Well, the situation there was mostly because it got infested with rowdy otakus who wanted to act like some professional novel connoisseurs. Not to mention that those guys are inherently unreasonable. They're more unreasonable than most of the girls I know. Hahaha
Meh. I only ever add stuff due to comments. My original ideas dont really change but i will provide a but of fan service or take an idea and go "it was my idea all along to do that~"" and slap hands with them in spirit.
I agree. And, let's face it. You can't please everybody. Unless that 'everybody' is you, you won't be able to cater to everyone's tastes. In the end, people have their own preferences.
Oh shit really? Well, i do post my story there. But i guess its different cuz mine isnt a fanfiction. Never had any bad feedback personally. Not more than the average.
I totally get that feeling. A few days ago, I got my very first comment from a reader. I was really excited to know what it was so I clicked it immediately. However, I was bound to get utterly disappointed as the comment was just about the reader thanking me for a chapter.
Exactly. So you cant worry about them so much. Authors fail mainly because they dont understand that, then let themselves either cater to thenreaders whims or fall into giving up on the story due to the bad feedback.
I second that.
Fanfic section is just infested with those people. It's kinda like going into war when you're about to post a chapter. You have to wear a full kevlar vest and helmet so that you are ready for those blasted hate comments. Thankfully, I have yet to write a single 'controversial' chapter. Haha
Well, many of the readers from where I come from does literally what you do but many of them also likes to be vocal about how they feel.
