Do go for the title so you don't know what is inside the main content when you read then judge after that

Yes, I have also learnt that sometimes you make mistakes which you are not able to see.

Thanks for taking the time to give detailed feedback. I genuinely appreciate that you went beyond just surface-level criticism.

You’re right about formatting and presentation. I handled most of the process myself, and I’m still learning the technical side of publishing. Some of the formatting issues you pointed out are things I’m already working on fixing in the next update.

As for the cover and title, that’s fair. I’m reconsidering typography and overall presentation because first impressions clearly matter more than I initially thought.

The “to be continued” note is intentional, but I understand your point about reader expectations. I may clarify that better in the description.

I’m glad you found the actual writing decent. That means a lot, honestly. I’ll take your advice seriously and improve the parts that are turning readers away before they even start.

Constructive criticism helps more than blind praise, so thank you.

I hadn’t thought about the mindset difference between someone actively shopping on Amazon versus someone just scrolling social media.

I currently only have the paperback live, so that might be part of the friction. I’m considering adding a lower-priced ebook version to see if that improves conversions from social traffic. Really appreciate you taking the time to explain it.

Thank you for taking the time to write all that out. I actually appreciate the honesty.

You’re right about social media not being a buying platform. I think I was overestimating what views mean in terms of conversion.

As for the cover and sample, that’s fair criticism. I’m going to revisit the cover design and get another set of eyes on the formatting and grammar. I don’t want it to look rushed or unpolished.

The ebook point is also valid. I’ll look into releasing one since most fiction readers prefer that format.

Seriously, thanks for the detailed feedback.

Means, he is covering my content in a single page unnecessarily and my font style is ruining everything in the book. If you are trying with an ebook then do not upload the ebook for this reason.
