So, lately as my stories are getting more n more reads (*touchwood*), I am also getting some nasty readers who clearly want to spread negativity. They are not my regular readers (even if they are, they never voted or commented before so just stalkers 😡) and then they show up out of blue and start saying ONLY negative things about the plot. It's so tough to still be polite and not let that affect me but no matter how hard I try, it's still gonna prick right?
I ALWAYS encourage my readers to give their honest feedbacks/demands etc, but they have to be my regular, loyal readers who at least sometimes showed their appreciation too... and unless you have been liking the stories so much that you keep track of its updates, why would you not say it too? Uff. I am THIS close to telling them to f*ck off in as much words instead of saying 'good to know' or 'ok' you know? I invest my weeks planning the stories, days thinking about it and hours editing it and in return my only reward is readers' love (majority of them do that, not ignoring it) but when this happens, I just can't help getting bothered.
phew. needed to get it out of my system.
