so those people don't comment because they don't feel comfortable giving unreserved praise when that's not what they think exactly.

This is absolutely something I struggle with sometimes. Like, if a fic is in the 9/10 or 10/10 range for me, then I have no problem commenting with pure glowing positivity. But if I'd maybe only give a fic 7.5/10, it gets trickier. I don't like purely leaving praise for things when that's not honestly how I feel about them. I feel it dilutes any sense of what my opinions are founded in.

I mean, I enjoy the movie Twilight...with the caveat that it's not a particularly good movie. But if you tell me I can't have that caveat - I can only praise it or say nothing - well then I'm going to say nothing. Because the statement "I enjoy the movie Twilight," on its own, gives a false impression of my taste in movies.

If I don't like everything about a work, but I want to comment, I leave a comment describing something I do like about it. A phrase or sentence that moved me. A character description or choice that works particularly well.

Actually I often do this even if I do like everything about a work, because as a writer I like knowing more about what particular things my readers respond to, so I give that to other writers as well.
