I hope that is a lesson to you, Razor. Most readers do not bother to offer reviews. Instead, they read and then go on. Remember to offer reviews and, if possible, go out of your way to read a story and offer a review. As you have found, it is very nice to get reviews. Just don't expect them. I have a story with over 50K views. There are only a handful of reviews, comparatively.

My own practice is to review every story I read. There was even a time when I tried to read and review a story each week. My work schedule and personal life no longer allows for this attentiveness and I can only offer reviews, here and there, in short bursts.

As an aside to this, I try not review student stories in the Library. There are exception, but I find that I look at them differently. That is, I read them in the same manner I as when they present them in the Block. Consequently, I just can't enjoy them the way I should.

Don't think I am not watching your reviews, though. Don't think I don't read them either. I do. Not all, but I get to enough of them to see the product you are presenting. I suspect the other instructors keep an eye on students, as well.
