Apologies, for book/child/work not growing in number but as my next door neighbour in Kelowna said, “Shit happens.” 20 years ago he was the same age i am now, 73.
If you find/have trusted people, who will or are competent in constructive criticism/analysis, get them to explain why. Like the difference between irony and sarcasm (irony implies but recognizes an obvious statement as not exactly correct; sarcasm reaches out to hurt another), constructive criticism/analysis implies faults in any work but shows how to improve (still can be hard on ego, develop a thick skin) criticism without rules or knowledge will hurt you, goes out to hurt you, to throw you off ever writing again for easing the critic’s own inadequacy.
