RLbooks (in and out) Oh lord, a lot of us don’t even think of 3 stars as bad!! Which author is this? 👀 I can’t be trusted on TikTok 😂


message 2: by Jamie (new)

Jamie I saw that earlier and rolled my eyes sooo hard😂 it made me want to read it just to rate it one star😂


message 3: by ❀ Jess (new)

❀ Jess Oops, it looks like they are currently writing a book, not yet an author technically I guess 😂

They are “Future NYT Bestsellers” on TikTok

Grab some popcorn to read the comments! 😂
They’re like “ @drjdizzle: not you wanting a 50% grade just for turning something in😭😭. @Krystal Lee 📚🩶: PSA: Participation awards stopped at elementary school. Hope this helps!”

❀ Jess @Jamie, getting into drama before even releasing a book is not a good look 😂😂

Exactly😂😂 I sat and read the comments for a good 10 minutes they were cracking me up!

Kristina Love those authors. I tried that at my job because working is hard so I should always get my full bonus and high scoring performance reviews. 😵‍💫


message 7: by julieee (new)

julieee tbh i would have rated the book one star to make her more annoyed 😍🤭

mak ⊹₊⋆ y’all needa share my comments these r good 🍿


message 9: by Kristina (new)

Kristina The stitches are hilarious but I think the original has been taken down.


DIVINITY🌙 Honestly 3 stars is still a good rating..


message 11: by ❀ Jess (new)

❀ Jess I’m only surprised at how long it took for the original to be taken down (I haven’t checked) but she was definitely getting roasted in the comment section, it was great 😂


message 12: by ❀ Jess (new)

❀ Jess I agree Divinity. This person just sounds crazy thinking that we should be handing out gold stars just because someone put effort into making something, I can understand complaining about a rating if it was based off of like literature accuracy but trying to control the narrative of ratings based on personal enjoyment is crazzzzyyyy

Kristina They never learn. There will be a new one in a month playing the same tune and destroying their career before it even happens.


message 14: by Mya ♜ (new)

Mya ♜ how? 3 stars is literally middle ground for still being good it’s not a bad rating at all, and even if it was how are we the assholes for just rating something based on our opinion? if we think it’s bad then that’s just that. a book being “hard to write” is not going to change someone’s opinion on it 😭

Weena Bernabel Lord have mercy 🙄🙄🙄🙄


message 16: by angelpompom (new)

angelpompom Goodness gracious


message 17: by Lee ✨✨ (new)

Lee ✨✨ My gosh the entitlement 😂😂


message 18: by ❀ Jess (new)

❀ Jess @Kristina, that’s true, I feel like just a couple of days ago I heard about an author who made fake accounts to negatively review bomb some authors that had a release coming up at the same time as her book’s release date and the drama for that was crazy too 🙈


message 19: by ❀ Jess (new)

❀ Jess @Mya, you see it’s because writing a book, editing it and publishing it is hard so of course that automatically deserves a 5 star even we hate it 😂😂😂


message 20: by ❀ Jess (new)

❀ Jess @Weena, @angelpompom, @Lee, my thoughts exactly 😂


message 21: by Kristina (new)

Kristina Yes and she got dropped by her agent and her publisher. Then there was Sarah stusek who never recovered from her ‘Joke’. It’s a conveyor belt of idiocy with some of these and they think their take is original. Nope. They’ve followed in many footsteps of other authors whose careers have been ruined before they even began. TikTok can make or break you and I’m not even on there, I just creep, but I shake my head every single time. But also 🍿


message 22: by Emma (new)

Emma Skapetis 3 stars is not a bad rating at all. It's not a one or two star lol.


message 23: by Sarah Mac (new)

Sarah Mac This is what comes from bubble-wrapped children who were handed participation trophies for no reason. Get over yourselves, guys. Or don’t, because the popcorn emoji is getting so much love in this thread. 😂🍿


message 24: by Annabella (new)

Annabella 3 stars is good, 4 stars couldn’t put it down, five stars life changing. They should not be complaining with three.


๑ seungchaccomin ๑ oh my god. what did she expect. give her all her work/s a five star rating??? 😃

also, 3 stars is not bad 😭😭😭


message 26: by princess phoebe (new)

princess phoebe 💞 I need to know who this author is 😭


message 27: by buket (new)

buket lmao i enjoyed reading the comments on that tiktok last night🤭 she’s not even an author yet 😂


skye (cardan’s ver.) ꩜ .ᐟ [hiatus] brb going to wait for their book to be out just to read it and rate it a 1-star (because gr doesn’t let us give 0.1 stars)


message 29: by Meagan✨ (new)

Meagan✨ 3 stars is still a good book😭😭😭😭


message 30: by Ali (new)

Ali Writing a book IS hard. But expecting everyone to automatically give you at least three stars because you wrote it is weird….. becoming an author is also accepting the fact that there will be people who don’t like your book


message 31: by Samia (new)

Samia If spend my own hard earned money and my own personal time to read a book, I can rate it whatever I want. Not every book is going to work for everyone. I find it so annoying when authors want to dictate what the readers do


message 32: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Daniel Three stars is my go-to vote 🤔


message 33: by Em (new)

Em When will authors understand that shitting on their audience will not make readers any nicer


🩶 April • A.M. Flynn • 🩶 I just went down the rabbit hole of comments and videos. What is her book supposed to be called???


message 35: by Mary ♥ (new)

Mary ♥ Lmaooo I'm an asshole then


message 36: by Mary ♥ (new)

Mary ♥ The entitlement is so funny, readers don't owe authors a good review. Plus constructive criticism is a win for everyone.


message 37: by Cdomin2 (new)

Cdomin2 3 stars means its an average book to me. They gotta earn their stars! I try to not give any 1 stars because I feel bad for the author.
If I enjoyed it and might want to reread I give it 4 stars.
