Dragynpawne - Chapter 8: Sir Phobos | Scribble Hub
I would appreciate feedback on my entire story, but it's 200k words, and that's a pretty big ask. It's a challenging and esoteric story, so I never expected it to become incredibly popular, and I'm more than satisfied with how many readers/views it has.
But, then there are about 4 chapters that have ridiculously low view counts wherever I post them. One of the chapters is the Xnoy chapter, which was intentionally written to be off-putting so I'm not concerned about it, but then there's this chapter featuring Sir Phobos.
For some reason, people just seem to avoid Sir Phobos like the plague, and I'd kind of like to know why. I would normally say that it's because he's an off-putting edgy Gary-Stu, but, the main character, Oryps, has characters literally drooling over him and stroking his ego for the entire story, yet by the end, he's endeared himself enough to readers to get them to go back to the 'Oryps' chapter to spend more time with him. That doesn't happen with Sir Phobos.
Like, where did I go wrong with him? Why is it that people end up liking similar characters like Oryps and King Priapism, but end up hating Sir Phobos?
