+1. Review blackmail is an instant-backbutton for me, but I can hardly get annoyed if I don't know the author is doing it. If a longfic isn't good enough to get a decent number of reviews per update then I'm probably not reading it anyway.

A larger number of reviews is really not a good indication of quality, from what I've seen. If anything, it's just an indication that it hit's all of the popular tropes/pairings/kinks/etc. of the fandom.

Which is not to say that a fic can't do both but, in my experience, the latter more than the former brings in the reviews.

Very true.

I've seen a lot of bad fic with a lot of raving reviews because it's someone's favorite pairing, kink, so on.

Or that it's a large fandom. I've written longic for both small and large fandoms, presumably of comparable quality, and I get more reviews in big fandoms, which makes sense. Fics that I think are much better than mine in tiny fandoms don't get tons of reviews.

+1

Neither kudos nor comments is a reliable indicator of quality. Just today I sorted fics in one of my fandom by kudos and was dismayed to notice that the number of kudos had next to nothing to do with the quality of the story. :(
