There's too many unknowns in this scenario for us to say one way or the other whether OP is "the better writer" or not.

If it's true that they're strong technically but a poor storyteller, then sure, I agree with you. But there are plenty of things that can make a fic writer less popular that have nothing to do with objective quality and everything to do with what's popular in the fandom.

ayrt Oh I agree, I'm going purely on what the OP has said. It's the lack of humility that grates the wrong damn way.

There's no lack of humility if it's true. False modesty is twenty times more grating unless one demands no-one ever be proud of their achievements, which is frankly small minded and dumb.

If your fic is technically accomplished but not getting much attention then there's a reason for it. Humility is trying to work out what that is. Humility is also realising that storytelling is an important part of writing and not some insignificant additional extra, asthe OP seems to think.

This. Writing that's technically perfect but dry and bland is not "good writing" even if the spelling and grammar and structure are flawless.
