Wow you two,
You should write for Lush,
careful what you wish for, I always say...
Don't bother people, let them bother you~
People come on here to read...some leave feedback...some don't. I guess maybe they don't feel comfortable talking about your story. Don't take it personally.
I try to keep my comments short in the space given. If I get a "thank you" for commenting, I ALWAYS reply. Usually, I'll extend my comments further. If there was something I didnt like, Id much prefer to say in private. Some people dont have time, others do, others might not have been back online since you sent your thanks. Take it with a grain of salt. People are sometimes busy, others have had their say and dont feel it necessary to comment further.
George Bernard Shaw made some very insulting remarks about the writing of William Shakspeare. The lesson I take from that is that no matter how good you may be, there will always be someone who will not enjoy it.
I put my work out there and have been fairly fortunate that most readers seem to enjoy it. If they wish to comment I will often send a thank you. If they don't that's up to them. I have come to accept that my writing is often technically flawed so I'm thankful that there are those who are capable of overlooking it.
Well it is sometimes hard to explain why you liked a particular story. I mean finding the right words to express how you felt and what particularly drew you in. That may be why some people keep their comments short and can't really expand it further.
As a beginning writer, I know how it is to be self-conscious. And how it is to have over a thousand story views but maybe 6 or 7 comments...or none at all. I also notice that while people follow me as an author, they don't comment on my stories. However, if they've taken the time to favorite what you write, give them credit for that. Take that as positive enough feedback. And heed the comments that you do get, and keep writing the way you do. It'll evolve as your imagination evolves. Just give it time. I mean, I've never seen J.K. Rowling walking down the street with a suggestion box. Your writing shouldn't cater to what people do or don't like. Trust yourself enough as a writer to do what pleases you, and that's what people will appreciate/respect. Sometimes people have no clue what they want in a book until they read it and enjoy it. Especially in the case of erotica because there's so much that can be explored in our natures simply by reading in detail something that we otherwise wouldn't find particularly appealing. But I digress...
The point is, people shouldn't have to be hounded just because you wanna know why they liked your story. The more you write, the more they'll reveal why. How/what you write shouldn't depend on how people feel about it.

Please quit sending couched spam messages to read your drivel.
Calling those messages - invitations, does little to dress them up, imo. When Stephen King releases a new work upon the world, I don't receive a junk email notice to inform me of his efforts.
Yes, you know I am referring to you.
The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.
Let me say I'm not an author but I felt the need to respond to this thread.
When I read a story I try very hard to score it. I do not always feel like leaving a note saying it was great or I thought it sucked. Some stories I really enjoy and will comment. If I get a notice that one of my friends has posted a story I will read those as i find the time. What I don't like is random people asking me to read their stories and commenting. It is nice to receive a thank you by mail for whatever I might have said about a story. What drives me nuts is when I score something and the author demands a comment. I don't always like commenting.
I read for personal pleasure and greatly enjoy a varity of subject. If a story is well told and I feel like it could be a reality or it makes me feel like I'm part of the action I will score high. I never judge on grammar or spelling I suck at both.
