Anon, we have all felt that way at one point or another. Don't let it discourage you though. Attention doesn't always equal quality, otherwise Fifty Shades of Grey would be a work of art. I have seen stories on AO3 with hundreds of kudos and comments that are OOC messes and wonderful ones that barely get 10. Be proud of your writing. :)
Seriously, preach. When I want a new fic to read I always pick the ones with the most kudos and I am just sitting there sometimes like "wait, this has 200+ kudos?"
Lmao, exactly! It confuses me when people say they only search based on kudos/comments, because my experience with "big name authors and stories" has almost always resulted in that "why is this so popular" reaction. I sometimes joke that if you want to hit it big in fandom just write as many cliches and tropes and make the characters as OTT OOC as possible, but man sometimes that's lowkey true.
