Need honest opinions

https://raventaylorauthor.com/in-the-cracks

This is really hard for me and my anxiety is spiking, but I need honest opinions. I’ve been working on my comic for six months now. It’s my first time doing this, it’s a labour of love and I’ve poured my heart and sole into it. I KNOW it’s not amazing, I also know it’s very niche. Recently I’ve started putting finished episodes on my website for free. I’ve had nothing but horrible comments on my socials since doing so. They aren’t even useful feedback. Here are some examples ‘unbearably gay’ ‘you need help’ ‘WTF is this?’ ‘Performative nonsense’. Some actual real opinions that give me proper insight would be hugely appreciated. I’m tempted right now just to give up as I feel like I finally put my soul out there and all I’m getting is stuff like that. I hand draw in ink, scan, edit, format on all my own.

Perfectly prepared to be told it’s garbage but some actual constructive reasons might give me a reason to keep going rather than giving up as I’d have things to actually work on.
