I love the authors I follow.

Even when I critique them harshly, they remain polite, and some have even taken my criticism seriously or provided explanations. I believe they are all exceptionally talented for amateur writers, and I’m simply sharing my thoughts to help them improve.

Hello Kitsune,
Today while hanging out on the site, I glanced through some Discord conversations. Since I don't have Discord, I couldn't read much, but I managed to skim through a bit of what was written. If my criticism upset you, I'm sorry, bro. If you want, I can delete my comment, it's no problem at all. But honestly, I give the same kind of feedback to everyone I read. You're an amateur writer, after all, none of us here are Dostoevsky. Everyone has their flaws.
For instance, I recently read one of the great world classics, Jane Eyre, and even there, it was hard not to get annoyed by the characters' foolishness or bored by unnecessarily dragged-out parts. My style is usually to focus on the flaws, although sometimes I highlight the good aspects too. But I read your book because I like it. If I didn’t enjoy it, I’d simply stop reading.
I don’t want to discourage you, but I do recommend taking criticism constructively. Personally, I think people who just clap and say "it's great" without offering anything else aren’t helpful at all. That’s why I believe we need negative feedback. At least, that’s how I see it.
I’m not even sure if I’m the person you mentioned over there, but if I unintentionally discouraged you, I wanted to clarify. I think writing a novel is an incredibly challenging endeavor, and I respect everyone who gives it a shot. It’s not like math, there’s no definitive "right" or "end." There’s always room for improvement.
If you’re writing things that feel right to you and reflect your style, then forget everyone else. But if you have the time and feel it’s worth it, you could take a look at the feedback. Memoria is an intriguing book, and I plan to keep reading it. Wishing you the best of luck in the competition 😊
