nayrt but this just seems silly, to me. What if they're busy? What if they didn't get the notification for whatever reason? What if, in a long story, they aren't crazy about this particular portion of the story, but they might love the one after it? There are so, so many reasons people might not give you feedback, and not all of them have anything to do with you.

I do understand feeling less than motivated when it seems like nobody else likes your story, but sometimes things take time to gain steam. And besides, you liked it, or you wouldn't have started it in the first place. That alone seems like a good enough reason to continue.

Exactly. You're kind of putting a rather large burden on the readers to leave you feedback for every single chapter you release, because a lot of people will read and enjoy something even if they don't always have something to say about every chapter.

Basically you're expecting them to somehow magically know that you want them to comment on every chapter instead of just a comment here or there when they liked a certain part.

I laugh every time someone describes leaving a comment like it's a huge chore. I get that thinking of something to say can be hard for people, but... don't you have to do this every day? The majority of your human interactions outside of your immediate family (and hell, even inside your family) consists of nice, fluffy comments talking about the weather or the big game or whatever. If you can't figure out how to come up with a complimentary thank you, then you really, really need to learn.

Also ask yourself: if you think commenting is tough, how big of a burden is writing a multi chapter fanfic?
