Who are you to straight up criticize a character's every move. Like get a grip. But constantly shaming characters for just breathing ain't it. Some people pour their heart and souls into these books, giving a piece of themselves into a book, only for you as an audience to straight up disrespect the book. It angers me because you're also the same people asking for frequent updates and you wonder why someone loses motivation to write a book. I miss the days were lots of people on this app were not toxic and knew better. Because some of yall ain't it and that's the problem. And to those that do this, I hope you're pillow is hot on both sides. Because if criticizing makes you think you're the better person then you don't deserve shit. Books were written for enjoyment of us as the audience or to improve the writing style as the author. Maybe even both. Not what you call constructive criticism where nothing you say is kind or polite.
Moral of the story is, just because you don't enjoy a book doesn't mean others don't either. If you dislike a book, and all you do is criticize it, just leave it alone or don't say anything at all. Cause people read your comments and make opinions of it. Yes I'm guilty of doing so and it sucks honestly.
( this is a rant after reading the comments under Red riding the Alpha, a book I wanted to pick up again after 2 years when I didn't finish lol)
