A little discouraging
So I'm writing a fic, not my first fic by any means I've been writing for years, but this is my first fic in this particular fandom. It's getting read because the hits and kudos increase with every chapter, but the comments... Practically non-existent. I'm six chapters in currently have at least another 20 planned, and there are only two comments on this story. They're simple And short, but I love them. (am I the only one who writes paragraphs when it comes to comments?)
But I've never dealt with such a low comment count before and maybe it's imposter syndrome sneaking in a little bit, but I'm starting to think that maybe I wasn't as ready to write in this fandom as I thought, maybe the story isn't as good as it seems to me. I also recognize that I could just be overthinking it but something about watching the hits and the Kudo counts rise while the comment count stays the same chapter after chapter has me feeling like maybe I was too confident going into this...
I don't know. Maybe I just need to go to bed. Maybe you'll feel different about it in the morning.
