To Authors : How Important Comments to An Author?

I just want to know ...

In most cases, i don't care even there is not comment, cause i enjoy my own story. Haha

but when i am used to receive comments, and then i don't get it anymore, sometimes, this idea popped into my head "Ah, i don't need to update this story, no one like it."

Haha, but still, i keep writing it. Because when i think it again, it wasn't really 'no one'. There was at least, one person... I am, me, the author itself. Haha

But author, when that time is occured, when you saw not really good responses from your readers, what will you do to gain your motivations to make an update?

Maybe i just need to focus to my first goal when i started to make a story. To entertain myself while improving my poor english

I love comments but I still update and write regardless if I have any or not :) On this other website I'm on, I have zero comments on my stories but guess what? I updated almost all four of them because I loved writing them ^^ Sure comments are nice and motiviate me, but I can do without comments as well.

If you're a silent reader that's okay because I am to sometimes XD

I love comments. Like, I THRIVE on them....
If I don't get comments and subs and up votes, I usually don't see why I have to update.
But it's horrible, because I know their are silent readers that love my writing, but never say anything.
