@Bryn Hagan Fifty Shades of Grey is the worst book I’ve ever read. But it’s also one of the most successful. Durian is a fruit that literally smells like a rotting corpse, I would rather eat dirt than subject myself to durian a second time, and yet it is regarded as "the King of Fruit" in Southeast Asia. There ain’t no accounting for taste. This is a democratic book crowdfunding platform. As @Amanda Orneck so astutely put it, if you’re looking for a curated book crowdfunding platform, check out Unbound.

    Bryan, i just browsed through the forum and came across this... and i truly fail to see your point, sorry to be so blunt.
    I have encountered truly awful books (well in my opinion) that were published in traditional ways that people liked.
    Sure it’s frustrating, i’m struggling for every order and yet some people with a social media base swoop in and get something funded in notime, but I don’t let jealousy get the better side of me. A man once told me "go straight and god be with you" - i try to implement this as much as i can.

    As to a book being awful. lord knows that if u take my book as a case study (god i hope u aren’t referring to me :P ) than i get feedback ranging from I love it-i’m hooked to you need an editor stat! evidently, a vast majority to the former, otherwise i would have revised myself.
    But the point is - literature is subjective, and painful as it may be - you have to learn to accept that some people like something that others find is trash.
