Thank you for this, because I actually do have a lot of problems with this (as you’ve probably noticed) :)
I’m sorry,but are you copying and pasting that message? As a writer I now find it slightly offensive that if you’re gonna go around saying that to people, please, please write a personal message and note coping and pasting that bollocks on to the review space.
Why do people think this makes any sense?

Thanks for the advice, though I have decided that I am not going to continue this story.
However, its creating knowing someone would post something more constructive that “good story” or even the very opposite of that.
So, thanks a lot for showing me how bad the story is, i’m taking it down and making it into a normal story (not a fanfiction) and I have altered it greatly.
Once more, thank you for the help! (I’m gonna need it for my year 9 exams next week.)
~Keep Writing~

There’s always room for improvement (and double checking). Thanks for noting me, I’m glad you liked the fic. :)
tjizthebestHiya I guess some people can’t take criticism can they lol
“Also, for someone who claims to see everyone as equal he sure prioritizes human happiness and is fine dragging an unwilling pokemon around to beat up another hundred and fifty unwilling pokemon for capture to please one guy.”
It is influenced by my cis scum genes as a white male, my obvious privilege over these lesser otherkins demand me to write a self-insert god to spread the cishet white male word.
Someone’s a crankyface.
A lot of Jinjira’s thoughts in this were what
I don’t CARE! This is how I write, and you can’t change that.

oh shut up, vomitbrain farla. your tounge speaks nothing but trashy poop. you do not deserve to be alive you bitch.

“Vomitbrain” is a pretty good insult, but it’s ruined by the nonsensically juvenile “trashy poop” follow up. 4/10
Hm, I would add a point for “your tongue speaks nothing but…” sentence construction since it’s not something you can see often, but ‘Guest’ managed to misspell ‘tongue’, so half a point it is.
4.5/10 is my verdict.
The consistency of the misspelling and the general inconsistency of the reviews makes me think it’s deliberate. I know a decade ago on fanficrants, WHY CAN’T PEOPLE SPELL TONGUE used to come up every five minutes, so I’ve been assuming they’re trying to misspell words and generally sound inane as part of the trolling.
Yes, but in this case it ruins the contrast between kinda highbrow beginning and inane finish. I think it would work better if they misspelled ‘poop’.
“Why do people think this makes any sense?”
Because everyone is a special snowflake who obviously can’t make the same mistakes as hundreds people before, therefore your critique is invalid.
More seriously, it’s a matter of perspective. People put effort into writing their stories and treasure the result. Especially inexperienced writers who didn’t yet have a chance to look at their old stuff and realize it’s shit.
They think their stories are one of a kind, because it is for them. After all, there aren’t many stories they wrote.
So when someone points out that their story is not special and is full of common mistakes, they take it as a personal insult.
Basically, they are unable to put themselves in reader’s position for whom their story is but one of thousands, full of stuff they’ve probably seen already many times before.
On that note, I must say that I am deeply disappointed in you for not replying to that heroic fantasy reviewer from last year who talked about how you crushed their dreams but they are older now with, “For you it was the day when all your dreams were mercilessly crushed. But for me it was Tuesday.”
Shame on you.
See I could understand that if it was about the waking opening paragraph or stuff that has to do with the storyline. When people argue that THEIR submit your OC fic won’t suck, I completely understand how they can be so sure of something so wrong. But no, it’s the grammar paragraphs that get almost all the complaints, despite the whole point of grammar being there aren’t infinite right ways so I can’t write a fresh paragraph for each person telling them their personal new way to do dialogue.

I heard it in my head and figured everyone else could too.
Yes, I understand it, but that still highlights the fact that their stories are just the same as many, many others, which they rationalize as you not caring and just trolling them. That is combined with the mantra of bad writers about how the plot is what matters, not the grammar, so from that position your reviews look like copy-pasted useless spam.
It’s wrong and irrational, but that’s how some people think.
“I heard it in my head and figured everyone else could too.”
Shaaaaame!
I heard it in my head and figured everyone else could too.
OF COURSE!
…I don’t really know who’s this heroic fantasy reviewer, I’m just here for the obligatory Bison joke. :-P
