Sorry "sexism" is reality with most male authors taking better criticism better. My experiences with female authors has been terrible, while almost all male authors I've criticized say thank you and take it well. I've had a few female authors who were good but the rest were terrible.
In fact most female authors ignore criticism well, Wayhaven's author has been known to do this with even her majority female fans complaining lol.
"You mentioned that this story is intended for a female audience simply because the MC worked as a waiter and has sleepovers. What do those two things have anything to do with the MC's gender???"
These are female activities in general, how many male characters in fiction do these things? This is the first I've ever seen in my life whether it be a book, IF, tv show, comics, etc.
Also you said its just the first chapter, bruh the first chapter is suppose to be the best, if chapter 1 is this boring I can only imagine what the rest of it would be. But hey I'm not following this story anyways, one of the most mediocre IF stories I've seen on itch but fangirls will disagree as usual.
"These are female activities in general" I'm a dude, so I get it can kinda suck sometimes when a lot of IF's are targeted towards women. It is what is right? But what is feminine about being a waiter? Like there are tons of waiters, and you could say it's a female dominated industry, but plenty of dudes are nurses too? It's just such a nothing point. And although yeah sleep overs are more feminine, plenty of dudes have sleep overs, I I had sleepovers when I was younger. Also, it'd be better to explain why the story was boring then just saying it was. It's not my favorite, but you offer bad criticism, y'know?
