So far some comments have been helpful and some have not. The ones that have not been very helpful are the ones that use more general speech. Things like, "I would just be more specific." The issue is then that I am not given an idea of what should be more specific. However, I do have a good example of giving specific feedback.
One of my stories a girl said she did not feel personally connected. Then, she told me why. She said that the conclusion ended too quickly and that my characters didn't develop enough. She said that I need to have more backstory and build comradery between characters so that the reader will root for the protagonist. Then she gave me a few examples to help me get thinking! So, That's what good comments are to me. Honesty and being specific are what I look for in comments.
Now, I'll be honest that I have not been the best on being specific. That is the number one thing I need to do better. I am still figuring out my schedule still. That will fix everything. My work hours fluctuate and I have classes during the night and morning. If I can schedule better, I will have more time to leave great comments.
