Ranting?

Why is everybody crying/ranting about people not reading your stories/ not commenting your stories? What makes me even more mad is when your like "i only got 4 comments and they said update soon!"

So?

It still means someone likes your story and took their time to comment it and still you bitch and whine. I mean okay, it isn't the most thoughtful comment but hey sometimes everyone else has said it all for them.

If you want to know exactly why people aren't reading/commenting your stories here are a few helpful hints

Either

1) It is not as good as you think it is
2) It requires a niche audience. Know that you write for them.
3) People read it, have acknowledged it but cant really be bothered to comment it
4) It can't hold peoples attention long enough
5) You've been writing it for 6 years and people are starting to think it drags on. I don't know about you, but if i click to read a story and it say 50 chapters i groan inwardly and if the first paragraph isn't incredible i really wont bother.

Stop crying about it.

Write for yourself.
