Some people hate criticism, and it's a problem when readers can't give their honest thoughts. I know people will hate things that are personal attacks, but why is it so hard for readers to point out obvious flaws?
If I post my story in a feedback thread, I will get an obvious take that no one said before. Yet, if I asked the reader about that take, they'd probably agree.
Bc : its likely a pain if giving constructive criticism and loss of time
whatever if its good or bad reaction from author
loss of immersion reading
risk not being heard = feel bad
risk being counter attacked
risk of whitekngihts attacking u
etc etc
"Not worth it"
