@GraveyardSiren I will never understand why someone will waste their breath commenting on something they don’t like. I see this happen with traditional published authors too. People on YouTube or booktube will read a book, then spend 30 minutes sometimes an hour ranting on and on about how they didn’t like the book or author. Common sense says if you don’t like something don’t spend an hour talking about that thing, but I guess some people don’t have that. If they’re trying to get people to not read the book then I don’t think that’s fair. I think people should see for themselves if they like something or not. They don’t need some hateful video that’s an hour long talking about how much a book “sucks.” I always feel so bad for those authors. Imagine spending that much time and effort on something you were excited and passionate about to only see a bunch of YouTube videos about how much someone hates your book or you. It sounds like you’ve had experience with hate and I’m sorry you had to go through that. No one should have to go through something like that. Please keep writing and never give up.
