Hi Jason,
Thanks for asking the question. I've actually been really lucky that the feedback I've gotten from reviews has been really good so far. I'm sure in the future I'll probably get negative reviews that I might not agree with but I tend to look at it from a learning perspective. I probably won't read the 1 star reviews because these tend to come from people who just hate what you've produced no matter what it is. I'll try and take on board the suggestions in the other reviews to a certain extent. It's just too hard to please everybody.
I've had a lot of suggestions from critique partners/beta readers that I didn't necessarily agree with either to begin with but I think as writers we can't help keeping all suggestions at the back of our minds and even if it's just on a subconscious level I think it affects our future writing.
