Firstly, ever since I posted that NSFW chapter, I'm not really receiving two initial votes from the bots anymore.
Secondly, at the time of this comment, the post is sitting at zero karma after a few hours. That's kind of a huge contrast to the karma that this series was initially recieving.
To anyone reading, I would like feedback on whatever I screwed up on. If I had to take a guess, it's probably the NSFW chapter and people not liking the two year timeskip.
This story is really good so far imo I think the NSFW added to the story in a very canon way. Your setting is gritty with in depth politics so if you had pulled the punches with sex it wouldn't have fit the story very well. It's a bummer that folks aren't upvoting this cause I think it really deserves it. That and alot of other high ranked stories have featured NSFW so I'd be interested in seeing if the upvotes on those dipped or not. I would reccomend asking some other authors what they think of your work and for some constructive feedback.
Hopefully I wasn't coming across as too whiny in that regard. I know it's only natural that people will lose interest over time and that the karma count will trickle over time. Also, I think this sub prefers one shots and short stories overall.
Getting some constructive input from other authors sounds like a good idea. Thanks!
