    Well, I guess I'm saying that you should probably not let yourself get so worked up about people calling the story objectively bad. It's like going to a restaurant review where the author says the dishes are bad because they're too sweet, and commenting, "but I like sweet food!" It's implicit that they can only judge it according to their own standards, because that's all anyone can do.

    I’ll take that advice into consideration, condescension not included.

    And I think I would still argue with the critic. If they’re going to purport to being an objective voice, and then ultimately fall back on subjective tastes, then I have every reason to point out that there rating isn’t objective.

    If a game critic said a world based around the ocean had too much water in it, I’d point out that that’s a pretty odd judgement.

    I didn't mean to be condescending. Sorry if it came across that way.

    No offense taken. Perhaps a misreading on my part.
