Only 4 votes for Almost 9000 readers over the past 3 years give or take..
I’ve read the story and… well… meh. It’s not really /my/ taste, though it might be for someone else, however- that said, this is my opinion of the story. Personally, the beginning bored me.. mood was not well orchestrated… I don’t know.. I felt like I was not being /shown/ what was happening..
As far as style.. its.. different. I had a problem with the viewpoints switching back and forth from the narrator to the character, which shouldn’t have even been in the same paragraph.. it makes it confusing to read. I had to read the paragraph over to make sure I was understanding it correctly… and when any reader has to do that.. it’s a bad thing.
The huge paragraphs made it difficult to read… I felt like the story wasn’t well thought out and unorganized.
I couldn’t get into it… personally I would have rated it a 3-4… the plot wasn’t interesting (though im sure it Could have been), it went very slow, monotonous… there were several times I wanted to skip ahead to see if anything interesting happened… in which I was met with disappointment.. Worth the time? Meh… probably not (at least to me), IMO. Bad review..

I have to say I completely agree with you on that one. Perhaps the fact that there were so few votes was due to the very reasons you listed.
I found the story seemed to ramble on and jump around too much. Maybe with a good editor it may have been better brought to life.
You were much more generous than I was with my rating as I would give it a two.

Yes I'm afraid I found it rather disappointing. Being a fan of women wrestling I started reading with interest.
It doesn't have the flow a good story needs, seems to be somewhat laboured in parts.
I think a bit of editing & breaking into smaller paragraphs would help. Maybe a rewrite would be worthwhile?
Mediocre would be my assesment.
