Am I doing somehting wrong?

So I really really REAAAAAAALLY want to know if I am doing something wrong with my concepts.

Basically this is what I mean. I posted my concept: Nat, Death's Bounty Hunter, originally about 8 days ago. And after those 8 days, the only comments on it were mine (basically me saying what I have updated or the occasional bump). So I decided to take down the original post and repost it, to see if a repost may get people interested. To my surprise though, within the next 18 hours...... nothing, nada, not a clue, dust bowl, rolling in the wind. There is nothing on it, then there is two downvotes. I am just baffled to the fact that then there are concepts that have been up for maybe 2 minutes, and they have like 5 comments (none made by the original poster). yet my post that has been up for 18 hours has not received a single comment or even a noticedable thing besides the down votes.

So I have three questions:

1: Am I doing something wrong? Because seriously I love every concept that I do, but did I do something wrong with this one?

2: Is something not appealing about my concept?

3: Why do people that posted 2 minutes ago have more likes/comments then mine?

EDIT: I have realized through my own error and lack of foresight, that the idea of Death's Bounty Hunter is something I should at least leave my book to and not let it come to the league universe. Mostly because I have a hard time finding a way to keep him interesting without straying too far from the path intended.

Now this is not to say I will never revisit him, but to say that the concept is deleted and will be off of the boards for a long time.

sigh onto the anti mage concept.

A lot of it is luck and timing: who happens to be on, and how long they have to comment, and what they're interested in. The boards are fickle, and many people will downvote sooner than they'll upvote, and MUCH sooner than they'll comment.

Secondarily it can be content, presentation, theme, etc. I know for me "Death's Bounty Hunter" seems like the outlaw/bounty Hunter concept that's common these forums, and we see a lot of death/reaper concepts as well.

That means it's not something I'm liable to more than browse (which I did...just didn't have time to comment) unless a review is specifically requested, especially since the lore on Nat didn't particularly hook me personally

Now, I'm not going to speak for everyone. I just know I personally have a backlog of reviews to do already, so a concept has to REALLY grab me quickly or I'll probably only scan it briefly unless someone has asked me to review it seriously.

I'm sorry to see this, I know people spend a lot of time on these concepts... but the idea of them doesn't really interest me.

I'll see if I can read over some and comment

By the way: bear in mind that the lore opinions I shared are my personal reaction based on my perceptions and personal tastes. It doesn't mean your lore is BAD, just that it's not something that specifically interests me personally.
