10... okay, first off, we don't know each other and I can almost promise you I've never read any of your work, so don't wank too hard here. You acknowledge the people who don't like your work and say you don't plan to change, and that just makes you come across as every other whiny diva who excuses poor work by saying it's a style choice. Suck isn't a style and the lukewarm reviews are proof enough.

Whether or not you should change anything is up to you. But honestly, in this day and age where even gentle criticism is met with a screaming horde of defensive "GTFO HATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1" white knights, you managed to get people calling you out. Lots of them. It's safe to assume that you're bad at what you love. For whatever reason, your work is not enjoyable to read, and you should consider finding a community that will give you tips, resources, and honest criticism instead of mincing words for fear of bruising your ego. It hurts, but you will grow, and better stories will flow with equal amounts of effort to what you're putting in now.

If you care enough to write a secret about it, you care enough to improve. Stop being part of the ~98% of fanfiction writers who can't spin a story worth a damn.
