idk i’m not a scientist but i still can’t figure out why people comment ‘please update’ on fics and …… nothing else…..

like i think at most i’ve written ‘looking forward to reading more’ (altho idr even do that anymore, because i know how sensitive authors can be to it– i myself am– so i err on the side of the caution…and i’ve never done it on a fic marked as completed!!) but that’s never been ALL i’ve written in a comment?? only ever in addition to smth else complimentary…
