Why?
Well, for starters, there’s the way you keep insisting that your blog is unread when that’s obviously not the case. And your endless tug-of-war between “having a life” and being recognized in the ani-blogosphere– really, why the public self-flagellation? Have a little more confidence in what you do.
Haha, that’s just trolling… subtle trolling. I critique the “average” blogger’s struggle so much that it really looks like I’m hungry for hits, but that’s actually not the case.
I’m pretty confident in myself, though that often succumbs to laziness (Gargron wrote a whole post about this whereas I’ve got up two links and one word…)
Though I guess if it’s not apparent that I’m trolling, I should stop. Huh.
I may not be your blog’s reader for very long but I can tell that your blog does not suck. Cheers!
Anyway, I think I’m a little confused by this post. What’s your point, exactly?
My poiint: I want critique to improve my blog!
[…] Mikotoism: Why does my blog suck? […]
You like the incorrect Misaka.
Shiori should’ve died.
Enthusiasm
If you are going to troll, troll with all your might. A half-assed troll won’t get a reaction.
Yeah, I’ve been thinking about it for a while. I can certainly go full-out in trolling, but my toned down trolling is a lot less work (and arguably a lot less interesting, I guess).
It’s interesting how 2DT prefers less trolling and you prefer more.
Heh, I think the troll porridge is just right. Just need more content!
Huh. With all the responses, I guess the main issue is the lack of content.
I keep saying I’m lazy, and that’s actually true. I really need to get my act together and blog some stuff with content (rather than half-assed meta posts).
Because you keep on writing posts like these 😉
Heheh, I can’t say I disagree with you there!
So posts like this could be improved by…
– Actual content
– Thinking before hitting the “Publish” button
I’ll get on that.
Ur speling sux.
ok
A while back you teased changing your blog’s name around to show off your latest obsession (Mikotoism to some-other-girl-ism). You’re too damn faithful! Either that or every time I happen upon your blog you’ve gone running back to Mikoto. I wanted that obsession to change by the day (ok fine, by the month) with a different girl’s name, banner image, and an accompanying post explaining why she won you over.
You naive fools just don’t understand. Mikoto-sama gets out her fingernail remover when I don’t worship her.
But really, I can’t stop expressing my fanatical devotion to her.
On a serious note, I really do think that the name switching idea is slick. I honestly think you could have a lot of fun with that, and it would give your blog a stand-out feature. Something — even if it’s small and silly — for readers to remember you by amongst the sea of other animebloggers. It also shows a bit of passion for what you’re doing, which is the precise opposite viewpoint of people seeing you half-ass things and being lazy.
Haha, true dat. I thought of the idea after watching the first episode of Eureka Seven (that really was love at first sight) and comparing Eureka with Mikoto (but eventually I realized that I also liked Renton a lot).
But I probably won’t be changing the blog title for at least another few weeks. The anime/manga I’m currently following don’t offer anything comparable to Mikoto. In fact, they don’t get me into Rena want-to-take-it-home mode at all. Maybe I should ask for recommendations soon…
You’re too random on when you update your blog. At one point it may be once in a while, when another it could be a post a day.
And I wouldn’t mind if you added a few episodics.
Yeah, but posting is hard to do on a regular basis.
Episodics… yeah, I should do some. I used to do a lot, but then I realized how behind I was on airing series…
Post lolis.
And betray Mikoto-sama? Not gonna happen!
[…] blog for constructive criticism. This followed suit over at Anime² (::Edit:: and later over at Mikitoism) so now over to Bokutachi no […]
Have some real content.
Sorry, I just realized that my comment sounded really asshole-ish. I didn’t mean it that way. ^ ^
I would suggest posts with a little more stuff in it.
Haha, it’s fine. (Mostly because I know I desperately need content…)
I’ll try and get to it, but episodics bore me and editorials are hard to think up… D:
hmmmm *nibbles on your ear* To be honest, I think you’re doing just fine. Everything mentioned in the comments are pretty good, so just follow what they said.
/lazy-comment
MIC CHECK!!! *tap tap* YO, yo, I’m not gonna free-style here; that would take too much effort. If I could make one tiny suggestion, it would be to find a slave to do some of the work for you. It’s obvious that you need more content, cause I feel like we’re losing you, just like Blissmo. Next thing you know you’ll be watching *gasp* AMERICAN TELIVISION!!! AND WE CAN’T HAVE THAT!!! but yea, have you ever considered hireing (lol) some new writers, or maybe even fusing blogs? Of course, it’s not easy to find someone who can match your style (and it could be a bit intimidating for them to live up to your standards), but if you know any silly/funny writers, your blog would be a sure-fire-hit, so hit-fai-her-(sea)-shore, knam sayin’? But yea, just a tiny suggestion. =3
Also, your troll lever is fine! PLEASE don’t become more troller (?)! One of your redeeming qualities is that you’re a nice troll. You respect your readers a lot, aaannndddd that’s cool! I hate how most trolls are just stupid and asshole-ish, so don’t become one of them. I like kind trolls! I mean, if you were a REAL troll, you would’ve bashed everyone’s comment by now, but instead you replied with professionalism, Mc-Binkerism, and most importantly, Mikotoism! I’m a PC, and this message was sponsored by Microsoft. I’m so fly, they call me Hello-Cop! That made partial sense, cause I stopped like a Men-o-PAUSE! I’ll play with ur gurl, like Laura CROFT! KRAFT-Singles, I’m cheesy with the flow! Video games, the aforementioned was a HO. And her game sucked, like ur girl did while wearing my shorts. Her lips puck-er-uped while I was terin’ up da COURT! and I love you. *nibbles on your ear* :3

Team blogs are for noobs.

And here I am finding a troubled person thinking the same thing I have been thinking for the past few weeks, though I don’t think the scale of paranoia doesn’t tip mine scale.
Anyways, you’re still good to go. A lot of people still read your stuff, you’re not THAT serious nor are you that much of a troll (especially to yourself), and hey, you’ve got lots of people ready to back you up whenever you get “blogger blues”. Get back there and start writing again!
“Blogger blues” is one way to put it! My style of blogging usually changes with my mood, so it’s not really consistent. …actually, it’s not consistent at all.
I’ve found that over the past few months, a lot of the people who regularly visited my blog began to visit less frequently, and a lot of new people began to show up (like you! :D). I attribute this to my incredible ability to piss people off and to my inconsistent blogging.
Hey, compared to your case, mine was so bad, it was so cash, though not beyond repair. Actually, I do see some parallelism on blog life.
If you do visit my place, especially the early posts, you’ll see what I mean.
Dont see why you say your blog sucks?? At least you are blogging about you and havent quit like some other people I know. Lol.
Haha, that’s true. Many bloggers find blogging a hassle after a few months (or weeks, days, etc.) and quit!
[…] week, I said to Michael (of Low on Hit Points) that I had nothing to obsess over. Boy, was I wrong. Solanin […]
20+ comments. You do not suck sir.
Haha, that may be true, but it’s not like I can usually tell that, since my own comments are always counted…
[…] people are doing this kind of stuff, please come bust up my blog too. Please? My blog loves a beating. Or maybe […]
…..>.> but it doesn’t suck…lolll
