How am I being condescending? Why do you think why I'm asking for people to be particular about what they don't understand? So I can fix the story, simple as that. Sorry for being stubborn, but I don't know what to change when "its vague" is the only critique.

"I'm sorry but how exactly are you expecting this message to be received"

Basically any of these messages: "I had a friend read it and he understood it, so I don't really get why it wouldn't make sense.", "No, I just don't think you get it since you never finished it.", the message seem to imply more of an intent to evade working on your story rather than receiving criticism and trying to build on your story. Even beginning with my criticism of your story a few days go, you've changed very little story-wise (only a few minor changes overall in comparison to the original) and seem to be more focused on defending your story (which multiple people are pointing out needs revision) rather than improving/fixing issues.

I want to fix issues, I really do, but the fact remains that I don't know what exactly to address. Nachtrae has the right idea, making suggestions and the like, but calling me "condescending" doesn't exactly tell me what to do. From my eyes, it makes sense, and I've been told that; from your eyes, it's vague, and doesn't make sense. Before I can I improve it, I need to know exactly what's wrong.
