I don't normally read comments on other people's stories. But for whatever reason I clicked on the comments of the Cam Atkinson/RyJo (which I actually really enjoyed). And the first comment ends with "This is actually the second fic I've ever read where I didn't want the MCs to end up together."

And uhh. Wow. Way to not pull those punches story commentor.

Can't say I completely disagree (plus, I side-eyed hard how Cam acquired his son), but that comment definitely drives right past useful concrit into being an asshole.

I don't disagree entirely. There was definitely some story development missing. But i didn't find it ~terrible by any means. I was just kind of shocked that someone devoted the time to hate reading 30k and leaving a jerk comment.

Wow, yeah, that's harsh. I had exactly the opposite response as that commenter - I did not appreciate how the fic thought that Cam choosing to end a relationship somehow made him this terrible villain that had to spend the second half of the fic apologizing while every single one of his friends shamed him for his life choices. There was no complexity, just "You broke Ryan's heart years ago, shame on you." There was this implication that once Cam was in that relationship, he no longer got to make any decisions for what was best for him (even if he did end up regretting the breakup later).

He did what he thought was best with the information he had at the time, man. Give him a break.
