Are you afraid that your game will flop?

I'm hearing so many stories or cases of people calling indie games "too this" or "too that", and just outright bombard them with negative reviews.

Before going into game dev I saw them as just another game that I won't buy.

But now, seeing it from a different perspective, those "terrible games" might've been something someone put their soul into. And down the drain it goes because someone started a chain of Bad Reviews, maybe even as a joke initially.

Arent you afraid that this could happen to the game you're making too? Am i overthinking this?

I'm anxious, thinking about the years of effort going down the drain because of some error like Release Timing or other little things.. How do you deal with this?
