What should I do if my reel gets a lot of negative comments?

You can delete individual negative comments—just hold your finger on the comment in your phone app and select delete from the options. Keep the funny or lighthearted comments if you want, but if people are saying genuinely nasty things, go ahead and delete those. You don’t need to keep negativity on your posts. Focus on the positive: if you’re gaining new followers and getting saves and shares from the reel, that’s what matters.
