Comment on An indifferent stare. by Unmei-no-kaioshin
Oh dear, I hope that your thought that I was bashing you, didn't last for too long 0.0
I've always thought that getting some comments that are more than this giving -zero -information -on -what -did -exactly -the- readers -liked/ disliked -about -the story "I like it!" would be more beneficial to the authors, and also, that the authors appreciate having a discussion upon their works. You don't have to agree with everything I (or some other reader) would say.
I admit that i may sound too forceful, almost like enforcing my point of view, but that's not my intention. I guess it can also be viewed as such for me, using words that may have different overtones to a native English speaker than they do to me.
In the past, I was a regular reader of some story, also posted here. It wasn't the best one around, but seemed to have a potential of sort; so I kept regularly follow the new chapters to add my two cents.
However, its author seemingly felt so overwhelmed with my reviews that they apparently wrote the ending due to my suggestions, abandoning their original vision. I have no idea why would they do this, and later, figured out that they either were not certain about their content's quality, or
unused to "constructive" criticism,
having people pleasing tendencies.
So from now on, I'd write longer comments only when I see the author would like to receive such a feedback.
And when I dislike something, I also try to sound as neutral as possible for me. And I avoid getting back to story again.
As for the back story, the cosmology may seem rather long, so maybe it'd be best for me to prepare a separate note for you. I'll try to make a one asap

It didn't last long! You do give good feedback. I apperciate it. I am also a very sensitive person. I think writers/artist's tend to be. You do give a lot of advice and say stuff I don't think about.
Wow, they really changed the ending because of what they thought you wanted? I think trying to people please can ruin an author's chances as much as ignoring critique.
I can't promise I'll come up with a story right away, but I'll see if I can get any inspiration

I would not have suspected at all, but that author sort of revealed that to one of the other readers (one wanting the story to end in a different way). I was certain they liked my idea and followed it for that was what they wanted for themselves.
I apologized for discouraging them from following their own idea and urged them to make an alternate version, a one they'd want to happen.
You don't have to hurry at all It may take a little while to translate that thing . It can be a ramble as I always find translating hard (harder than just writing in English already. The main reason for me, not posting anything under 'fan fiction'). And while I use some terms shamelessly stolen from various philosophers, I'd also have to check for English equivalents for these terms).
Also, do this only if my character truly sparks any ideas.
