omg I know this feelinggggg
u really don’t owe them anything since its ur creative outlet, but it’s tricky because as an author u appreciate anyone reading ur story. id say just try deleting the comments when u notice them so they don’t encourage more lol ive given up on ‘caught’ because there’s literally 800 raging comments on the locker room scene despite the disclaimer at the front of the book. a lot of people skim over warnings and don’t think twice before commenting so they probably don’t realize they’re being rude. And please don’t delete the story for those readers that actually enjoy it ❤︎❤︎ even if you discontinue it, you can keep it for nostalgic purposes !!
