Frankly, everything is relative. You have the right to write a review the author has the right to delete them.
I read a story about a hero who was betrayed by all his friends. He went back in time before the time he was summoned swearing revenge. The revenge part didn't begin before more than 200 chapters since the first hundreds of chapters he was still on earth with his family. That didn't really bother me since I liked what the author was writing. So it's a question of taste and perspective.
For example, in most CN the synopsis says that the mc will become a god. But generally, he won't become one before the very end of the story.
Of course, an author should be ready to accept bad reviews. I received a 2.5-star review once, but it didn't bother me. But 1 star is too much. 1 star means that everything the author did is shit. Just so you know there is stability update in the rating. So imagine a bad writer who still posts at regular times. How could he accept having 1 star since it would mean that even his release rate was given 1 star?
Anyway I understand your frustration, but try to understand the authors

    By the way, anyone knows what happens about the readers complaining about writers and even organizing some weird google survey form to allow them to anonymously attack writers they aren't happy with? The thread was titled, "express your hate against writers" or something like that. I was telling them off for cyber-bullying, calling them cowards for attacking behind a mask of anonymity, etc., but it seems that they deleted my post.

    I hope there were others who told them off, but seriously, why is it that they can attack and bully writers like that, but I'm not allowed to crticize them for what amounts fo cyber-bullying?

      Lilliny Yeah, but they deleted my posts...I'm not sure how they were able to do that while they got away with cyber-bullying.

      Again, I'm reminded of how readers really, really hate the writers. I thought I was the only one suffering from such stuff because I don't see negative reviews on other writers' stories, so I believe that all the other writers were much better than me. Even so, I don't think it's fair to create a whole list that allows you to anonymously attack and "hate" on the writers while publicly humiliating them. That's just bullying, pure and simple. I want to find that thread again and put a stop to it, but I can't if they delete my posts or ban me from commenting on the thread.

          Tomoyuki wait, I don't think thread owners can delete posts other than their own? are you talking about a thread on here or another platform?

              TheBlips woah woah woah how did you become a mod?
              (or have you always been one & I'm just blind for not noticing the badge?)
              I asked the other day on discord and they said that there were no mods on the forums ??

                yaoyueyi I was talking about a thread here. Something about someone encouraging readers to write about their hate anonymously on some Google Doc survey or something. It was here on Saturday night (American time), but now it's gone.

                TheBlips Hmm, interesting. Do you know what happened to that "Leave hate messages for authors" thread or whatever it was titled?

                      TheBlips That's great to hear! I wanted to do that, but I didn't know how to contact an editor.

                      yaoyueyi That's good. I was the one who categorized it as cyber-bullying and was criticizing the people who did it, but I didn't know how to contact a moderator.

                            Norah_Koch I joined it at the beginning of the year, and left shortly after because I felt uncomfortable speaking to several of the writers there, particularly one cultivation writer who accused me of lacking ambition and being a failure.

                            I also deleted my Discord account earlier this year because I was getting spammed by readers with hate messages ordering me to delete my story, telling me to get off the site, or how I'm the worst writer in the world (for not writing what they want to read or something to that effect), etc.

                                You really should join the inkstone. You can't write something more trash than my story (not a joke here, I'm taking a pride in being able to write such bullcrap), so you don't need to be scared of bullying (as long as you do not write fanfic, I admit there is some bullying goin that way, everywhere WN related) And you can just block messages from non-friends on discord
