Frankly, the odds that someone is crying themselves to sleep over a story is so low, the chances might reach the centre of the earth.
Secondly, politeness matters and comments like these will either a) make me less likely to actually update, b) delete everything out of spite (that's a bad day, lucky I read this on a good day) or c) update, but make it really short and shittier than usual. However, I do find myself in the position where if I did work the time to write on this project, I could, theoretically, update it tonight.
Thirdly, grammar and spelling matter. It took me longer than necessary to read your comment.
And finally, it is up to the writer whether or not they continue with a project, not the reader. Writers make a story because it is something they enjoy and want to do, not entirely for the readers benefit. Your enjoyment comes from our passions, and our passions and pleasure from writing comes first. I had stopped this for the last two years, or about that, because I lost interest and passion in writing, only recently beginning to build it up again to the point of considering finishing long abandoned works. Hence, the lack of updates.
The moral of this really is that you need to show respect, and maybe then writer's would be more inclined and positive about updating.
FYI, I could of been a bit more harsh and just lay things on you flatly, but I tried to keep my argument as civil as possible.
