@voidsangster I see your point but doesn't it make you feel good at all that people would demand you to update, this means your story is good, and they want more. And how could they scream at you? They might write in all caps; "UPDATE SOON" or I've seen a lot of; "YOU HAVE TO UPDATE SOON."
People don't need to be following you to show support. I understand that it would be nice to have their full encouragement but isn't them just wanting you to update enough? Isn't them just reminding you that your work is worth something enough?
The reading, commenting and voting is supporting you. I view this as an encouragement; it makes me feel good about what I've written, but it would make sense if you consider it as stressful.
