    Quitting music changed my writing life.

    It's not that big of a revelation. Music has been proven to be a distraction even if it's not blasting out your ears and regardless of genre. Besides, people are better off actually listening to their music instead of having it on the background.

    What makes you give a story a 1-star rating?

    Well, this would be one example. Not to mention the discussion about people being trolls just for using the 1star like this one. Funny that people are fine with throwing that out without evidence.

    Another day, another thread on 1stars. Even with the same usual suspects.

    What makes you give a story a 1-star rating?

    Why does everyone take 1stars like it's supposed to be the worst thing ever? No one ever says, oh 5stars must mean the story is perfect and top tier writing. And yes, I have given 1stars because what's the point of rating anything if I'm not allowed to feel negative towards a story. Of course...

    Strong Love Interest

    You can read the tag definitions when you look up stories with said tags. There will be a blue arrow that you can click at the top that'll show what's the site considers to be the definition. But you're right, that type of stuff really should be more apparent.

    Okay fine, since apparently I need to be more clearer. Here's a more simplified version. There's no reason for people to rate things low (generally 1star) if they're aware that any author can just ask the site owner to check and remove it. And yes, regardless of whether you want to assure me or...

    What rating do you consider low?

    If we're talking this specific site and averages, then 4 because of various reasons. Individual scores would have to a 1 or 2.

    [Discussion] What is "Don't like, Don't read"?

    It's just because authors are too much of pansies that they'd rather people not talk shit about their crap.

    At least that's what people believe seeing as we're not Tony. That still doesn't change that is how people react to 1 stars or that there's little reason to even use the rating system of that's the response. Of which is why I say there's nothing impressive with a high average score.

    I would be more impressed with these numbers until I realize that people can just whine to get 1stars removed.

    Do you listen to your readers?

    I'm saying that people are very hypocritical in their responses here.

    Do you listen to your readers?

    Except for the fact that people very clearly do, or else we wouldn't keep having threads like this. Especially considering some of the authors that have commented in one this specifically.

    Do you listen to your readers?

    Probably because I've seen comments made by people who have commented on this thread that show how big of pussies they are when it comes to taking such criticism? I get that it's not like everyone's read every single thing said on this forum. I'm sure there's plenty I've never even come close to...

    Do you listen to your readers?

    In essence, yes. I just find quite funny about people complaining about 1-stars often on the forum. So apparently if they just drop a 1-star without comment then they're a troll. Yet somehow those who have negative comments should just not read or are considered toxic? It's also quite funny that...

    Do you listen to your readers?

    @Snusmumriken I don't disagree with you there.

    Do you listen to your readers?

    I would say the same about my readers. It's just frustrating to see the same things over and over from some authors of this site. They're just so bad at listening about anything. Even the way this thread is presented is insulting.

    Do you listen to your readers?

    Yeah, I'm going to have a hard time believing that from this crowd judging from the responses, yours included.

    Do you listen to your readers?

    Of course I do. If anything, I'm the one asking all them to suggest things all the time. but of course I'm on scribblehub so some readers might be too scared off to make mention of their own volition. Seriously though, with the attitudes of many authors, I'm surprised that readers still give...

    https://forum.scribblehub.com/threads/perhaps-i-will-go-on-hiatus-and-finish-book-one.5134/ Don't pay this any mind, just something to remind myself of what not to read in the future. And also not to necro a thread, so please don't bother.

    It's kind of funny that people will whine about 1-star reviews, but not call out people who literally insult authors as a person.
