Comments

[(Anonymous)]

"I loved this!" and "excessive happy emojis" are going to make lots of writers happy.

But if you feel self-conscious about leaving comments that you feel are generic, I recommend investing in some dramatic/uncommon reaction gifs. You don't need to be great at expressing yourself to post one, and they'll definitely give a writer a smile and a sense of your individual feelings.

It also makes a lot of other writers very annoyed. Not worth the risk if you don't know what kind of writer you're leaving a comment for.

I was just going to say the same thing. I personally would be fine with a comment that said, "Loved this!"-be it a comment like that, or a lengthy review, or a kudos/favorite/follow, I'm happy with it all. Just the fact somebody took the time to read something I wrote at all is cool to me :).

But I've seen so many authors gripe about how comments like "This is great!" or "Loved this!" don't really say much about specific aspects of the story that they liked, or seem very generic, or aren't worth replying to with a thank you the way longer comments are, or things of that sort. So I can see why some reviewers feel wary as a result. Hard to feel encouraged to review when you feel like your words won't mean anything to the author.
