You are forgetting
Challenge. A demon is almost always an immortal being. A being with a completely different mindset than any human. Summoning one for the challenge and glory of defeating, understand or otherwise just getting one up over a being like that is an accomplishment in of itself.

Lord Spongebob praise be upon him!

Don’t overthink it. Stick to your lore.
an ancient Chinese inspired culture is one of the easier ones. Since China had an incredible amount of dynasties and cities.
Gods are harder. I’d start top down with a pantheon, then the hierarchy etc. It also depends on what kinda god feel you are going for. Are they like the greeks flawed but bringing order to the universe. Animal headed or more fantasy D&D based.
Naming places are easier than you give credit.
The misty mountains are indeed misty. Clown cave is indeed filled with clowns. Simplicity at times is better than wit.

Negativity happens however, You cannot and must not let negative remarks chip away at something that makes you happy. Its not the end of the world if someone absolutely hates your work. It’ll hurt but its just one review. If you want more reviews promote your story.
Do not compare yourself to anyone. You are you. If grammer and incorrect words are dragging your story down. Try a beta Your story is as valid as anyone else’s. Don't ever think for a moment that your story does not have worth. Don’t compare your stories to others. Harsh Criticism is inherent in writing. But don't forget you the writer are often the worst critic of all.  Is there anything constructive in that criticism or is it just straight up trolling/flaming. Some people are weirdly harsh when they want the author to improve. You aren’t perfect. You are going to make mistakes. Criticism loses most of its bite when you accept this. Rephrase or clarify but don’t ever stop writing. Always strive to grow, do better Don’t lose sight of why you are writing this story. Allow your story to be itself.  

What is the antagonist for? What genre is the story in? How complex is the main protagonist? What are the interactions between protagonist and antagonist? Are they friendly and jovial? Or are they die hard someone is going to die the moment one of them sees each other?
Sometimes the story just needs a complete monster. And sometimes the whys are much more interesting than the antagonist themselves.
The most interesting questions come to mind if the main character is the villain of the story.

Ideally don't’ be afraid to use the fives stages of grief.

Don’t be afraid to play up the horror of your characters actions. They did after all just do something emotionally devastating. Bonus points if it was unintentional, accidental or worst of all on purpose.

Well, I'll admit, I'm still feeling a little off-kilter, but I'm no longer trying to hold back shameful tears, if that's what you're saying. It was all perfectly valid critisism, so I'm pretty much over that, but there are still some things that I need to think about, ya know.
I just finished revising the story in question, so I feel like I've accomplished something at least.

I think that on some level it always effects us. Regardless of how seasoned a writer we may be. Perhaps the only aspect of the rejection that changes is how fast we pick ourselves up after being knocked to the floor, so to speak.

You might even focus more on what and how the characters feel during the act, rather than the physical mechanics of things. Depending on your POV, this could be really easy; but it's doable even in 3rd-person-omniscient.

Don’t be afraid to mix up the stages too… nobody reacts quite the same to similar situations,   How the character reacts can define them.
