IS IT ANNOYING???

You would see some authors complaining about readers telling them to update fast, but the real thing is, they(readers) were just encouraging you and probably telling you that the plot this story is heading is exciting and very entertaining. We, readers, don't mean any ill threat but only to reciprocate your hardwork by commenting that we're impatient( when we're actually not) for the update of the story.

To cut this 'ranting' short, between those "update juseyo", or "why won't you update?", or "i need the update please" are deeper inclinations of readers telling you that " omg this is so exciting!", "can't wait for the next chapter! kyaaah!", and even " i'm loving this fic!".

Although this is just my personal opinion I want to voice out.

I really really hope we're not misunderstood as being rude.

well, i think it's fine to speak for yourself...but i don't think every reader mean it in the same way so...instead of telling writers to update and leave it at that...it'd be more encouraging to....well, i'll just say...i totally agree with the comment below talking of substantial comment instead of things like simply 'update soon'...and that analogy is spot on. for me, it doesn't even have to be long. but something that tells me the reader has really read would be more appreciative especially compared to the amount of effort and time put into the update. even a line would do...like....'OMG, what will happen to so n so?' or 'love their cuteness together at the park'...or sth like that is better than simply demanding/asking for update. that's just my opinion, as writer and as a reader myself. and i've once gotten a comment simply saying 'i'm waiting'...i find that utterly rude. but yeah that's just me.

that would be fine if it were true, but for about 50-70%, it's karma farming or people who just can't be bothered to say anything else. update soon is nice to hear, but it would be nice sometimes to hear something more substantial. especially if you've put hours, maybe days or weeks into an update - it's like making a meal for 6 hours and then having someone eat it and just say, "where's the next course?"
