This isn't really about this person who you don't read, it's about you being disappointed with yourself. This is about you discovering that the rules for writing that you've been told should work don't match reality. And I'll tell you from experience, it's hard to learn that you got things wrong.
Without seeing your fic, I'd say there's a 90 percent chance the reason why you aren't getting the interest in your fic that you think you should is because what you've written lacks pizzazz. It's not hooking people's emotions. It could be highly realistic, and highly nuanced, but if it's also boring, then it's not going to garner the interest the effort you put in deserves.
Look through what you are writing -- forget for a moment the wording, the ICness, the realism, and ask yourself is this story really something fresh and new, or is it a very well thought through, clever retelling of what everyone already knows.

Frankly, I found my dispair level highest when I thought I was doing everything I could and still fell flat. Finding a new direction to work on (once I got over the "ouch" factor) filled me with excitement, renewed determination, and hope.
