Alright, so looks like the real issue is posting more than one chapter in the segment of a single hour. Whether manual or scheduled, each published chapter should be spaced out by about 62 minutes. I'm gonna assume this fixes the problem going forward and mark this as solved.
I have to wonder if (and how many) of these books are exclusively only using AI to write their blurb and not their inner content.
I say this knowing it would take some research, and I'm also too lazy to look into that right now. :blob_evil_two:

TLDR: numeric ratings without any attached information (reviews, comments, DMS, ect.) have become meaningless.
There is plenty more which could be said, but I think this one statement sums it all up enough for an entire thread.
Saying this before someone says...
I think the only problem with the rating system is when people are allowed to cast negative ratings without cause or explanation.
Maybe I'm naive to say this, but it just irks me when anything, mine or someone else's gets low ratings with no attached reviews, no comments explaining it, not even...
Knights of Sydonia ~ Not disgusting, but certainly strange. Never finished it as it had 2 or 3 seasons and could not find it again since. I think one of the female characters with a love interest turns into a giant tentacle monster that still speaks? It could have been cool if not for its...
Did you delete your account and make a new one with the same email? I don't know what happens to content if an account is removed on its own, so I could be wrong, but this is also a question to ask.
I'd use them sparingly, only when it really feels necessary or justified. Some readers drop books for excessive swearing, but a realistic variation of it when it counts should still be fine. Let's face it: you're gonna encounter swear words from other people IRL anyway.
Only other reason to 100%...
Mostly, their upload and organization process is far easier. My content unfortunately makes use of graphical objects for an exclusive in-book E-scope system, which means I have to host images somehow (collectively this is over 1400+ files). Some hosting sites (such as catbox and postimage)...
It is not too consistent, but generally about 30-40 minutes apart. Also, I still have not been able to confirm if the time setting matches my local time zone, which should be eastern standard. For all I know that right there could be the issue, but cannot confirm, not easily anyway.
I will be...
That's what I'm bad at ~ finding the learning material. I'm good at absorbing stuff, but my luck it's often wrong when I search for it myself, at least, unless I put an entire day aside and then try.
I'll look it up on a better day, yah?
