DetectiveRed. After reading over the replies to your question, I surprisingly didn't hear this one: (Good Guy reply btw)
Just Keep Writing! I'm known for a saying: "Honestly, Books shouldn't take themselves too seriously. Mine don't!"
I always hate to see threads like this because writing should be about having fun! Don't take yourself so seriously. Now, I'm not saying that the 1-star reviews are useless metrics but you have to realize that controversial topics will never gain the type of ratings that regular books have. They are meant to be revolutionary. That means that it'll be hated for now. BUT your objective should be to put out your best work and let the haters disappear. My first One-Star for OP Paladin was on Royal Road (Known for being highly critical anyway) and I read the review over and over again. Thanks to that One-Star Review, I greatly overhauled my book and now my book is trending on Webnovel and SH. This is my first book and I'm still learning but the fact that I made the trending list showed just how powerful negative reviews can be. Work Hard, Smart, and Consistenly on your book to make sure that you get way more 5's than 1's. Outwork the haters.
Moral Of The Story? Ignore the extra stuff and put out the content that the readers followed you for!
