What's the point?

What's the point in writing a story when it does so bad? It makes me doubt myself as a writer, maybe i should give up writing entirely on this site.

Don't. Keep at it. Only through perseverance can one become better.

Take it from me. My first stories were garbage, but I got better just by writing more, and look at me now.

I enjoy your stories, man, and so do many more. There will alwas be detractors, but don't let them get you down.

Trust me, It'll be worth it.

I still feel pain.

I know. There's little I can do about that other than tell you this.

Every night, no matter how dark it may seem...always has the dawn be ten times brighter.

I agree with Mkchief on this one...don't give up!

Keep at it. In the case of BBLO, I would just suggest writing the chapters as you rewatch RWBY. It's what I'm doing with Embrace of Light and Dark. Helps keep the characters "in character" if I write something off script. If the story/ plot is the problem, that might help you.

You could ask someone for suggestions too. If grammar and spelling are holding it back, best I can say is either find an editor or after you finish the chapter, look it over once or twice.

BBLO is doing fine. I haven't looked at the comments, but I'd say a 10-3 like/ dislike ratio is pretty good. On that topic, look at your other stories, I wouldn't consider those ratings bad, except maybe the Digimon story, but I never read that, so ratings is all I have.

You really have to keep writing and build up and audience to get those numbers. When the fandom was in it's heyday you could grab a bunch of views at once when you made something weird/special, but now I assume even great work gets trouble gaining traction early.
Even if the views don't come in- keep writing. You only get better.
