If you want to help a writer and don't want to give them a bad review, it is ok to email them.
As a 'writer,' I like feedback. It tells me if I'm on the right track or not. Also, it is a guilty pleasure if the review is good. Either way, I still consider the feedback.
Reviews are acknowledgements of my efforts. So yes, it is important to leave your 'Kilgore was here' comment.
I've received email from people who loved the stories but didn't leave a review. I don't like that particularly, because if it was good, they should say so, in front of everybody.
Looking forward to seeing your name on story reviews.

PS. I review A LOT of stories...
