So I go to read an xreader. A dabixreader specifically. Now the point of an xreader is to, you know...add the reader into the story.

In this story the author didn't actually have y/n but instead had Christa. (Not an aot ref just Christa I think). Now amongst other readers in the comments section, it seemed strange to call the story an xreader but not actually make it a reader inserts, the same way authors do use y/n bit describe them as an OC. It doesn't make sense.

I commented "Don't call it an xreader if its not going to be a reader insert" to me it feels like clickbait, I'm not getting what I was promised. There's nothing wrong with it being a Dabi x 'Christa' but dont make it seem like something else.

So the author replied to my comment, saying if I dont like the name of the story I shouldn't read it.

Firstly, at no point did I say I didn't like the title...I was just staing facts...

Secondly, if it wasn't for the way the author replied to me I would've been more than happy to continue reading.

The author's excuse for not actually using Y/n is because they felt that y/n was a bad character...

Uhh...y/n doesn't need to be the same in all stories...you can write the characters however you want interms of persona and still call them y/n (y/n isn't a name) or don't call it a reader insert.

When critiquing authors you should never do it in a malicious way. Be nice.

When replying to feedback from readers you shouldn't get defensive. Don't write a public story if you can't handle the critiques. Also be nice.

Anyways, the author muted me because they didn't like what I said which was quite an interesting move. Again, I would've loved to continue reading of it wasn't for their pettiness.

But we move.

Hangee- this one's for you. Let me know how you feel and don't worry I won't mute you if I don't like what you're saying.🥰
