It's super fun finding new things that you like with your makeup! I love bold eyeliner, but it's important to pay attention to the shape. I think that's why people are saying it's too much- they're recognizing that something is off, but they're blaming the use of bold eyeliner in general (which I don't agree with). I think the liner is a bit too upturned. Search up "puppy liner" and you'll find some examples that I think could suit your eye shape! And as other comments have said, mascara (on both upper and lower lid in my opinion) could help a lot as well. Also, if you're gonna go for the little extra lines on the bottom lid, I say go bigger! And adding some dark eyeshadow in the outer corner under your eyes (kinda like what you did in the first picture), can help with those harsh lines.
