Hi Mint :)
Ratings and view(review?) is sure something that can put lot of anxiety and anger to the one making a visual novel or any other game.
I do sometime check people comments on games I have played and how many rating has been given...most of the time I do not see much ratings or comments. (except a few games whether it is visual novels or rgp games or other kind of games)
I comment games I have played but I cannot always put what is on my mind into words but either way I am writing feelings towards the game :)
I understand you well that ratings and comments is something difficult..it is for me too and it makes me feel annoyed.
For my own game I only got some feedbacks from Alexanda, Zakaria and you, while I do not need anyone to tell me my English grammar is not perfect because I can see it on my own, for other things some feedbacks is something that could be nice to hear, thank you for your own feedbacks a while ago 🥰
I hope my comments in your visual novels are good enough too 🥰
I think I was one of the firsts following you :)
I do often play through my game to test various things and each times i noticed new mistakes I made whether it is grammar(and typing mistakes) or things that make no sense, it takes a long time each time though :D
I also check my analytics too much, you right it might not be something healthy to do.
Hopefully all goes well for you with going back to school in person 😉
It has been a while since I wrote such long text in comments :D
