OP's issue is not that it's backhanded, but that the person's entire feedback is basically, "I want more." Yes, there is a compliment implicit in someone liking your fic enough to want more of it, but that doesn't mean that the person who spent anywhere from several to hundreds of hours writing it feels particularly seen or valued by "I want more."

Honestly? If it were me I would probably roll my eyes, focus on the implicit compliment of it, and move on. However, I can also see where OP is coming from. If one is going to ask for more content, or even just express a desire for more content where the OP is expected to see it, then saying something nice about the actual fic you're commenting on is a very advisable way of prefacing that. Even if it's just, "Ahh, this was so good!" or something to that effect.

AYRT

Thanks for explaining! I understand better now. It's more content the commenter wants, that's not an explicit compliment to the writer. I understand how it can come off entitled/insensitive.
