That seems pretty rude of you, unless the author wrote that they wanted criticism. Fanfic is written for fun and offered for free. As ownedbycats wrote, 'don't like don't read'. I'd say posting criticism in the comments is as rude as sending reviews to an author (by @-linking them on social media etc).
