Who dared give you a negative review?

Actually, no one. I even have recommendations already 😊

That being said, one of the curators that reviewed my game, 写生漫话家, left a review"informational"(other options are"recommended"or"not recommended"). Given that 90% of 写生漫话家's reviews are "recommended", and 0% are "Not recommended", I deduce that 1) 写生漫话家 is polite and 2) 写生漫话家 did not like my game.

That's perfectly fine, as that's specifically the kind of feedback I need right now. 写生漫话家 explained briefly the encountered issues, and that helped me prioritize my tasks and give credit to some issues raised by play-testers (thanks @Jonathan!). That's also why today's release features mostly performance improvements and QoL updates

The point is, your positive reviews are more than welcome 🫶 but do not hesitate to raise any frustrations you faced. I still have enough time to tackle them before the release, and I get far too little of these
