I agree that worrying about hit count in relation to comments isn't productive; I had a non-fandom blog for ages and people on the internet in general read and lurk a lot more than they engage.
Comments (any sort - detailed reviews, concrit or just "I liked this!") are awesome, to me, but some people will read and never comment, and that's okay too. Except we get a dollar or a pony when people comment. Oh wait, we don't! :D
But that brings up the point... why are you writing fic? If it's to entertain, which is my reason (along with, you know, having a story to tell), comments can indicate that people were entertained enough to comment instead of stopping after one paragraph because a story's not their cup of tea, so that's satisfying.
