@ra3rei I understand what you're saying about how a public feedback place isn't the best place for criticism. But your comment has kind of confirmed my fears :lol: People will comment with "Wow, this is amazing!" when they're really thinking "Gosh, that conversation was worded so awkwardly and didn't feel natural... But I want to be supportive and this isn't the right place for criticism, so I will tell her I liked it even though it wasn't very good." :lol:
I dunno. I guess I'm one of the plummy ones :lol: So (much as I love compliments and will graciously thank readers for them) every single positive comment I get, I'm thinking "I wonder what they REALLY thought" :lol: But hey, I'll enjoy living in a blissful reality where everyone genuinely loved every chapter ;) (I don't mean that in a sarcastic or snarky way. I just realized that it kinda sounds that way :lol: I was genuinely trying to be funny with that last comment :tongue:)
EDIT: By the way, I am not trying to sound ungrateful for positive feedback at all! I'm just saying that I kind of have a hard time accepting it/"believing" it all the time. Maybe it's just because of my own insecurities about my writing.
