Although it's a passion project, it still fks up with the way trial read novels are inserted into the voting pool, it should've been added into the voting pool along with the next trial read novel "Astral Pet Store" instead of replacing astral pet store in the voting pool.
I wrote reasons why this was bad as a review on the book, I'm fine with removing it but the problem is that it messes up the future trial novels. Suppose there's trial books that people want to read. There is 4 each month and trial novels don't stay for more than a month. So out of 16 possible trial novels, only 4 is chosen each month before they are all replaced with other books.
Not to mention some trial novel books are rotated out after only 15 days, of course you might say that they just aren't popular but how are they going to compare with the trial novels that were released for more than 15 days. After all the coins from trial novels that don't get picked take a month to come back, and membership users probably don't have enough coins to vote for more than 2 trial novels.
Not every book is popular, I get that. If you currently look at the trial novels, almost every trial novel has about 100 to 200 fans and like 3 with less than 50 fans. And then you look at "Astral Pet Store" with over 700 fans. This literally shows that everyone has spent most of their coins on Astral Pet Store and they don't have enough for other trial novels. So now out of the 15 books remaining, 8 might get replaced with new novels next week. And since they are all relatively equal with the number of fans supporting the novels, someone's highly anticipated novel is going to get dropped.
Therefore, if one of those slots is replaced by a passion project, the readers are obviously not going to passionate about it.
