Regarding the author’s note, it’s because of the fetish, you aren’t the first author to get many dislikes over a story centered around a fetish but don’t let that stop you from continuing

I find it kinda weird that you can find way more worst/weirder things on here yet the like to dislike ratio is nowhere near bad

Someone already said it but, yeah it's probably the fetishy themes that got you so many downvotes. My foot fetish fics got pretty heavily ratio'd too.
Definitely don't let that get you down though. Definitely looking forward to future chapters!

So far a pretty cute story. I always love second person stories where we get to see EG Fluttershy, because she's my favorite character in EG.

Can't wait for the next chapter.

It always irks me whenever I see competently written stories get downvoted into oblivion just because of the fetish tag. Feet isn’t even that hardcore, there are way worse and perverse kinks that regularly get written about. M8, I apologize on the behalf of those blockheads. Even if liking feet isn’t their forte, one cannot deny that some considerable level of effort went into writing this.

It’s been months since a new chapter, I hope the downvotes didn’t intimidate you

Thank you, I appreciate the encouragement. Honestly life has just gotten busy, but I do want to continue! I'll keep writing tonight.
