There is a saying in our country that the one who criticizes us should be given a room in the courtyard of our house

That is a wonderful saying. In order to grow we need to understand the ways in which we can grow.

but still we want to reach our feelings through these short stories and possibly have been reaching them

I agree with your sentiment completely here. Of course broken style and poor grammar interfere with a reader's enjoyment of a story. However, I personally always ask myself, what does the story mean? Is this author trying to saying anything of value?

Writing is a vehicle. We share our lives, our experiences, our perspectives through writing. That is its value to me. When I read a story I hope to be moved in some way. If that happens, I consider the story to be 'good'.

Exactly. If I felt something because of the story, it was time well spent ♥️
