It's true that getting a 1-star rating is disheartening.
But do you know how it feels when your story suddenly struck by lots of 1-star in a single week?
I am the same person as the one who posts the
AM I ACTUALLY A BAD WRITER? thread on the Story Feedback. And I did that because at that time I was surprised because I suddenly got that many 1-star. Until the story rating turned into 3.6.
And that scared me silly, thus that question arose in my mind.
Am I actually a bad writer?
Yes, I am. (It's late realization, but I'm not a good writer. And most of all, it's because I procrastinated and never continue what I left.)
But am I not trying to improve myself as a writer(scribbler, author, whatev)?
No, I'm trying ..., I am struggling to make my story a bit better.
Are the people who left after giving 1-star is
damned fucktard?
Yeah, they are.
Probably ..., because I did it myself. If I didn't like the story, I also left after giving 1-star on their story. It's quite easy to do so, and what ..., say it that it's my revenge or something, but if it's shitty I 1-star it. If it's a good one but there's some part I didn't like it, 1-star.
The point of what I'm saying is, humans are irrational. And so do the readers
(and authors), even if they like the story ..., but if there's something they found not good. They'll probably leave after gifting 1-star, just like I did.
But yours is actually not that bad. I mean, there's only about 3 and 5 1-star on your stories, and the 5-star is also quite a lot.
Probably it was bombarded after this thread was made, Idk.
I'll stop my rant, I think it's not good to rant on other people's thread. Ah, and the first to reply to my thread is also you,
@Assurbanipal_II, I appreciate that. I really do. In the language of only one third-person pronoun, adjusting between he and she is quite difficult.
