Nothing is further from the truth.
Criticism and especially constructive criticism is a thing that makes the author evolve and as a result, his other works have a higher quality. If a hundred people write here "The fatness of these women is unbearable!" the author can slightly adjust his work to appeal to a wider audience. However, this do not have to mean that all women will be skinny, but for example new route where some character will be able to lose weight at the instigation of Main Hero.
On the other hand, nothing is more dangerous than a group of people who are constantly repeating the author, how great he is and how great his work is.

People who tell you you’re awesome are useless. No, dangerous. ""
They are worse than useless because you want to believe them. They will defend you against critiques that are valid. They will seduce you into believing you are done learning, or into thinking that your work is better than it actually is. Especially watch out for the ones who tell you that nobody understands your genius.
