Don't let the early lack of response get you down. New users don't become well known overnight.

As for your story and its readers, it's almost guaranteed that more people have checked your story out than have commented on it. To cite a couple of extreme cases, my Courtney story is popular enough that it won Featured Story honors last month, but only 3 people have ever commented on its talk page. Likewise, TDI-G&S is also fairly popular and much bigger, yet only 8 people have commented on its talk page.

The visit counter, which you can get to by (among other methods) typing special:MostVisitedPages (not case sensitive) into the search bar, will give you some idea of the traffic your stories are getting. The counter includes your own visits, works somewhat sporadically, and can go out for months at a time, but it's better than nothing. (To get the more-or-less complete listing of special pages, type special:SpecialPages in the search bar.)
