Well maybe so, but as he says

I've got no problem with people pointing out faults, but doing it in this thread doesn't do anything or provide anything.
it really would make more sense to have commented there, in his journal, so that he knows not only that people are reading but that they're also commenting.

Anyway, whatever. I'm just saying that if I had, for instance, posted my first Game of Thrones entry and someone had reminded me that I had missed something out, I'd be a little pissed if that was all they were writing. If you're going to say "you left this out" then at least I think you should comment on the good parts too, otherwise it does just come across as nitpicking and a little unfair, considering the work he put in.

It always annoys me when I make a big long entry (shut up Batty: if only! ) and the only comment I get is a tl;dr or a stupid gif, so yeah, constructive criticism is fine, but I would do that within the framework of also pointing out the good parts in his review.
