The fact is, you will always have way more views on each chapters than comments. Why is that? Readers don’t feel the need to comment, or many understand why they shouldn’t comment for your chapters.

Upvotes are another story, it’s understandable why people don’t vote but I won’t be getting into that. 

But what I don’t understand are the readers’ lack of comments, they view the chapter and bookmark it but, there are absolutely no feedback. Us, Authors don’t get paid writing and posting chapters, in fact, we give our time to our books. They don’t know what it feels like to wish with all their heart that Authors love seeing feedback. It’s easy! A little ‘Good job!’ ‘Keep it up!’ Quite frankly, I don’t want to come off as greedy, demanding, or I only care about the numbers. Because in reality, even though I find the lack of comments or no comments irritating, they’re not the reason why I write. 

But it’s not the same for everybody else, many Authors especially new ones think of getting comments is a sign that somebody is liking their book, and that drives them to keep writing more. I’m only mentioning a few of them, not describing them as a whole. 

They simply don’t understand how much those comments mean to Authors. 

I’m not trying to come off as greedy, I am speaking for most of the Authors out there who have tremendous amount of subscribers, and views, yet no feedback was given to them. I know that the fan fictions here are free and that’s understandable, and we Authors don’t mind writing for you guys, even if we don’t get paid to do it. They took a lot of time to frickin write those long chapters. 

You might say, ‘Maybe they don’t like the story?’ 

Then why read it and bookmark it? Like I said, a chapter has MORE views than it’s comments. Sometimes, they don’t even comment at all. 

Before I wrote this, a lot of Authors have told me that they find this a major turn off as well. While I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one feeling this way, I’m sad that the practice is so widespread.
