You should probably try to plan your story and think about the events that will take place in the story and whether you honestly think they would happen in real life - something being unbelievable isn't "dramatic", it's just silly.

I understand that English isn't your native language so the spelling and grammar errors are completely normal, but perhaps you should get yourself a proofreader, run your story through spellcheck, and read over it a few times just to make sure before you submit it.

No.

This is like a cook saying "please overlook my using salt instead of sugar in the cake recipe and my overcooking it", and then wanting to know if the cake still came out all right. Of course it didn't, and because of your mistakes it's impossible to judge it correctly as a cake.

You seem to believe that the concept is the most important thing. That's the 1% inspiration. The basics are the 99% perspiration. You have repeatedly stated you don't feel like putting any more effort in, so there's really nothing more to say.

So eh...be careful what you wish for? (unless "criticism" was a codeword for praise, but I assume it wasn't)

Criticism includes the evaluation of a work for its merits. It results in recommendations for improvement as well as praise for good aspects.

Wanting to know if people like it or not is asking for a simple binary opinion. And I think our collective opinion can be summed up in: we didn't like it.

Harsh? Maybe. But accurate from what every post here has said. Your first post said "I am open to criticism." Everything you've said after that contradicts that statement.

Nobody's "ranting" or "spamming" you with the same criticism, in fact I made it a point in my own post to make sure I wasn't repeating a point which had already been made. First of all, as has already been said, if you put little thought into a piece of work, you honestly shouldn't expect it to be praised, and secondly, the reason it's "annoying" to you is because everybody has made perfectly valid criticism yet you keep stating that you "don't want to improve" - then why submit your work and ask for criticism, which essentially means to suggest ways to improve?

Honestly, it seems to me like you were expecting praise and are annoyed because you haven't received any.

Indeed, as griffon has said, harsh, but when you tell people you want criticism, you had better be prepared to receive both sides of that request.
