Wow, someone took that WAY too seriously. You do know that it's a fictional story, right? With fictional characters and, at least intended to be, set in a fictional "creepypasta universe" so to speak, that doesn't necessarily mirror EXACTLY how the real world works. In a sense, I create the world as a backdrop for the characters and the story. So if the story requires a serial killer or two to remain at large during the events of it, then the police might be a bit slower on the uptake than your "real world" standards. And if two fictional characters with opposing views on gender politics (neither of which reflect my own, by the way) have to meet somehow, then I'll invent a dive bar where people might drink wine and certain men who might be of a somewhat predatory nature (not full-on rapists necessarily, just looking for a more submissive mate) might be a bit more likely to approach a shy girl than the people in bars you've been to.

Furthermore, I really don't see what my personal life has to do with anything. Like I said, it's a fictional story with fictional characters, and it plays out how I decide it should play out. If you don't like it, that's fine. It's your opinion and you're free to express it. But to go after me and say that I've never been to a bar in my life, or that I'm just some loser who's never been laid is more childish than anything in this creepypasta. And I'm not even going to bother responding to those claims directly because, frankly, it's none of your goddamn business.

I will say that you did have one legitimate criticism. I do proofread my work but somehow, that one sentence about the "suffering existence" slipped through the cracks. So now, I'll probably go back and rephrase that sentence to correct it. Other than that, I think that your complaints are largely about realism (which I get to a degree, but think you took too seriously) and basically just ad hominem attacks about how I must be some shut-in loser with no social life. But whatever, your opinion is just as valid as anyone else's I guess and I probably won't lose any sleep over it. I just have to wonder why you had to do such a lengthy point-by-point analysis of something if it was so poorly-written. Usually when I come across something that I don't think is very good, I just shrug my shoulders in disappointment and move on with my life.
