    Ramon gives me crap because there is sex in my books and my stories are "too predictable." Of course, they are predictable, good guys normally win. I write standard adventure stories. I enjoyed your book. It was a fun read that I was able to get through without wanting to put it down. I hope Aleron Kong and his group doesn't get so strong that he starts destroying careers. Then again that could just be me talking from my crazy tin foil hat perspective.

    Manipulating reviews is a terrible thing to do, whether for better or worse.

    It's just MORE terrible to manipulate them to make a book worse, since then you're directly attacking an author's livelihood.

    Those scruntbags.

    Seems like he's actively trying to develop a cult of personality. Those are tough to deal with :-/

    It seems like a case of "if you don't worship me I will destroy you" to me.

    Like this gem
    Would not recommend this book it reads like a pre teen love story and with the constant flipping each chapter from one main character to another character's point of view
    Wait switching POVs makes a book a preteen love story hmm does that mean GoT is a pre teen love story or like 90% of books on the market?

    Not really its just a matter of growing faster then they do and at a certain point they get crushed by there own self worshiping stagnancy if you aren't willing to deal with flaws then you cant exactly improve sure his books will still be popular but at a certain point the majority will turn against him

    I'm pretty sure the review was raising two separate points there.

    But yeah, the review is terribly written. Never ceases to amaze me that people who read a lot can have such terrible spelling and grammar.
