Some thoughts on review

I wonder if previous reviews affect new ones? That is, in order not to waste time, the reviewer looks at the previous review and writes in his own words what he already wrote another? And it turns out that all the reviews as copies or replicants of the original?

If you write a swap review, then you must adhere to the bad manners and write a good review in spite of its real quality or rejection of the content itself, depending on cultural traditions?

Or, nevertheless, write what you think and give a low rating. Then the response will be the same, mirror or generally asymmetric response?

Authors should immediately put a topic in the tags in order to read, then not to spit and with horror to discard some not typical, not traditional stories. What is good about democracy, that everyone can have their own view, but no one imposes it. Do you want to read, but do not want do not read. And this is not a phobia is the right to choose. When there is no choice, then tin comes. But this is offtopic.

If you are honest, objective, you need to wait for your reader to come and appreciate your story. But he will not come ... without the promotion of a short story, the reader will not know about it.

There are many interesting short stories that are not even in the ranking, which occupy 2000 and 1000 places, but they are more intriguing than those that occupy 20-90 places in the ranking.

This suggests that the authors are not skilled enough in promoting their stories.

SWAP is one of the methods of promotion, like voting with stones for your own work, it's not entirely sporty, but honestly!

There is a second option, I personally don't like it and I won't do it, because it's not honest in the first place, and secondly it's not interesting. Nevertheless, this method works, although it is formally prohibited by the rules for using this site. That is, by creating fictitious accounts - 4-5 and voting for their work on behalf of third users. Another way is to write 10 identical reviews to yourself with a rating and now, your work scored 10 minimum reviews, the requirements for entering the rating.

For you to be read, to have good statistics, you need to write, write a lot, at least 500-1000 words a day, 4-5 chapters per week need to be filled.

And to promote, write SWAP, chat on the forum. It's rare when a reviewer comes back ... a formal reply, within the framework of the existing rules - I tell you, you tell me. But if really, the work is hooked, interesting, then the reader-reviewer will come constantly.

If the work is so-so, then counting on constant interest is difficult.

But there will always be several enthusiasts, regular readers, and the authors should be grateful to them for their time and interest.

So far, these are my thoughts.
