the review system was not implemented for you to critisize and give low stars to novels. It was made so wn can show how many 4 and 5 star ratings they have on their site.
reviews which are lower than 4 stars and contain sound criticism get deleted either by the author or wn. so why bother.

    If you give a genuine, heartfelt, reasonable critique, and have the good sense to flag spoilers, then I couldn't be happier to have you review my work, glowing or not! <3

        Her avid fans kept telling me to delete it lmao. And then the author, even though they said they wouldn't, did... They were right that out of context the review was mean, so now I can just write a longer one thats not mean. At all. Nope.

            Elude I cannot talk about my any other comment but I can assure you that the particular one in the discussion - was purely genuine. I read because she tagged me and listed down what seemed errors to me.

            Maybe I misunderstood your intention and I guess, you did e same. I am not sure why you felt that it was out of spike but let me tell you very honestly - it wasn't. There is absolutely no reason for me to not accept it if it was the case but it wasn't. I had no issues with the author until she/he went on calling people dumb and what not which was absolutely uncalled for! That's about it.

            Sigh. I know how awful it feels to lose a LONG comment that you've spent quite a while writing on. Keeps happening to me every now and then.

            Waste of time. Now, you've got it right. This truly is.

            Cheers.

              Lilliny wow, you're gonna rewrite it? I just wrote off the book and the author. Too discusted with her display

                  Right now, I'm on the fence about it. Her book is bad and she doesn't want to take any criticism so she can improve. And shes clearly just milking her audience. As I think about it more and more, I might just write her off too. Its no fun if the author just goes back on their word...

                      Lilliny You should just let her do her thing. I think you are wasting your time by doing that as she will only delete your review again and again. Since she does not want to improve then let it go. Not many contracted novels are earning a lot. They rely on the guarantee system most-if not all of the time.

                          Yeah no point if shes just gonna delete it over and over. :negative_squared_cross_mark:
                          An actual time sink. Even I'm not willing to do that.

                              Lilliny you could copy your review and keep it in a notepad/doc, so every time she deletes, you can just copy & paste the review. then it would be a competition to see who's more stubborn lmao

                                  LostInFictions True. Also some people find it hard to accept that some people are criticizing their hard work. As a new writer, I remember crying after i receive my first constructive criticism. I mean... I know my grammar is bad but having someone shove it in my face hurts. hahahah The truth hurts and not everyone can cope with that. Which is sad since we need constant criticism to improve and grow.

                                    NAH. I know, in my heart-of-hearts, that I won.
                                    She deleted the review, revealing herself to be fragile, and unwilling to take criticism. She needs an editor, at least for the basic writing.
                                    All thats left to do now is beat her at her own game. :smile:

                                        Lilliny Yea, just think of you as being stung by a mosquito. If she wants to live in a delusion that everything she does is eight then let her. She'll find out the hard way
