Authors who wrote stories that have a low rating, how do you feel about it?

[Deleted member 61829]

Can be from any platform.

I'm sure some of us have those reviews that rate our stories pretty badly. Sometimes its bullshit but others actually make a good point about what it's lacking in.

I've seen some stories with <4, and there's some written reviews saying it's because of the story going downhill, a shitty plot twist, or it was just shit to begin with.

How do you authors with these kinds of reviews feel about it?

Also I'm waiting for a certain someone to show their glorious 1* reviews.

Spoiler

I have one, it's not on this account but the rating is borderline 3*. It's made to be shit and I'm damn proud of how badly it crashed and burned. Gave me hope in the future generation.

LMAO when I was on Fanfiction.net when I was twelve writing shitty Percy Jackson gay porn I used to get so mad that people would give bad reviews to the point that I would go after the reviewers. Now, I don't care. Like I'm just here to write and share my story so someone will love it, and that it won't fucking die with me when I'm 50 years old and on my death bed with no grand children and surrounded by five thousand cats.

You have a great attitude. Too bad most authors on scribblehub and rr, many of whom are way over 30, have the maturity of 12 year old.

Thanks! :) I learned a long time ago that bad reviews don't really matter (unless they're giving you constructive criticism). It's the journey of the story and where you want to take it, how much fun you're having, and the people who came to love it along the way.

I’ve never really gotten an actual review. But I’ve given some. And let me tell yah the reactions differ.
The worst reaction I ever gotten was on Ao3. Mother fucker couldn’t understand what tell bot show meant. He even had the gall to try and rip my own story on there.

I get all warm and fuzzy, knowing that someone was so invested in my story so as to get so totally pissed off about whatever I did.

That's the best kind of feeling.
