Elude Honestly, I wouldn't have replied because I know where this is heading and I prefer keeping myself out of unnecessary arguments and this truly is one.

You cleared that you aren't trying to throw any shade at anyone but I believe you are. Your tone says it. Anyways, this comment wasn't for you which I know that you already know. I sincerely wish, you had tried to understand the context before quoting me.

I talk from the knowledge I possess. I don't agree to what you are saying. I can share stuff that would back my point if I wish to. I don't mind agreeing if you show me one. Nobody in life knows everything. If you are going to teach me something that I don't know or have different perception about - I would be glad to learn.

But here are some quick things which I think you should think about before defending. No, please don't tell me that you weren't here to do that for I would have a little problem in accepting that.

I didn't even know who this author was. Perhaps, nobody in this thread except for the thread maker did. If you could read my earlier comments in this thread, I did not support the thread entirely for I didn't know how the novel was and what the TM wrote in her review that was deleted. Later, the author herself/himself appears in the thread - writes almost an essay - and TAGS people. Now I wouldn't have checked the thread and even replied had I not been tagged.

The author explained what a constructive criticism is. Since he/she spent time in tagging me, I genuinely decided to take a look and I did that, and dropped by a feedback with the errors that I found from my level of knowledge. Are you, by any chance, trying to say that the readers aren't supposed to do that? Sure, changing the stuff or not is up to the writer. No reader forces the writer to do that but you, here, are calling me out for the CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM that I wrote which absolutely falls under the manner decided by the author herself/himself?

Your words - It's not really something to nitpick about.

Why would you tell me and why do you think I would listen to you about the things that I should nitpick about and those I shouldn't? Ah, I don't think anyone here is a kindergarten kid to need it to learn from anyone.

Having said that, I apologize if this offends you but your tone has offended me as well even though I am sure you might not have meant to. This thread has become a headache which I honestly wish to stay away from for I am already suffering from CVST which anyway fulfils my daily dose of headache. Kindly do not misunderstand and think that I am pointing at you. I am saying it in general about this particular thread.

Cheers.

before_after Hey! I am so sorry because I am not sure which post you have quoted but I presume it is the one where I shared my disappointment when my readers failed to understand my character.

It's not really about misunderstanding the writer but rather about not understanding the characters the way writers want their readers to. In my case, I blamed myself for I truly believed that I ridiculously failed in making them connect to the FL enough to even try to understand things from her perceptive.

You've to forgive me because I can't give you an answer for

• I haven't read the story.

• I have got no idea what you wrote in the review.

But honestly, should I tell you something if you don't mind? Let it go. Let the story go. Let your review go (which I truly feel bad about). I get your disappointment towards the misleading synopsis but let's just be a little lenient considering that writers are also humans. Tell me, isn't it possible to begin with a thought - write a synopsis - and then go in some different direction? We aren't robots to work exactly according to what is pre decided. Often, it happens that, we begin writing with a thought, think of the entire story but it goes somewhere else while writing. Sure, there are talented authors who figure out everything beforehand and make sure it goes the same way but it's not the case with everyone.

It would be very nice if we can be a little less harsh but even if we can't - can we not let it go? Just think about it. Why should we invest our time in something that we don't like? (The disappointment of having already invested time is another thing but... it's okay.) What are we going to achieve by getting frustrated and by overthinking over - why did someone delete our reviews? I have said this in this thread earlier also and I would say it again - it makes no difference. The better option is to move on and find the stories that you enjoy reading.

Life is awfully short to invest even a single minute on the things that you don't like.

Cheers.

To anyone and everyone who is reading this - I apologize, if my any comment has offended you. I assure you that it was never the intention. I am someone who prefers a respectful discussion even with the different viewpoints. However, I believe, it is solely my mistake to step in when it's clearly not even a month since I joined this place. I should have stayed back and see how things work here prior to getting here because in that case, I would have never stepped in, because my peace of mind, right now, is truly more important than anything else. I am going to stay away from now onwards.

Thank you!

LostInFictions you are right about letting it go, but then again isn't it plain deception of potential readers? Not even talking about the rating, because that is messed up anyway.
At least can a reader not expect some kind of sincerity if there is a synopsis and 34 chapters in it is untouched? I read 2 other reviews saying the same, that the synopsis does not match and they are 66 and 70 chapters into the story. Of course after mine was deleted those 2 (3.5stars) got deleted too lol.

anyways letting it go now, downtalking authors with deceptive synopsises do not deserve my time.

Gem4Life Oh, no, please don't. You have done nothing to apologize about. I have said it to you earlier also that I do get where you and a lot of other ones are coming from. It's okay. It really is. Things happen. We learn from them and move on. That's about it.

Cheers.

: )

Elude I cannot talk about my any other comment but I can assure you that the particular one in the discussion - was purely genuine. I read because she tagged me and listed down what seemed errors to me.

Maybe I misunderstood your intention and I guess, you did e same. I am not sure why you felt that it was out of spike but let me tell you very honestly - it wasn't. There is absolutely no reason for me to not accept it if it was the case but it wasn't. I had no issues with the author until she/he went on calling people dumb and what not which was absolutely uncalled for! That's about it.

Sigh. I know how awful it feels to lose a LONG comment that you've spent quite a while writing on. Keeps happening to me every now and then.

Waste of time. Now, you've got it right. This truly is.

Cheers.
