NOVEL NEXT URGENT: Trolls Are Killing My Story - Please Help
UPDATE (July 16): The troll ratings have been removed! Thank you to everyone who helped. I'm leaving this post up for transparency, but the crisis has passed. 💚
Hey everyone,
I'm writing this instead of the next chapter because I need your help.
Someone's been systematically bombing my story with 0.5-star ratings after I left a review supporting another author's work. The latest one hit my Prologue this morning, clearly from someone who hasn't even read the story.
Here's the thing: I refuse to be silenced. I won't stop supporting other authors I believe in just because some troll wants to manipulate the rankings.
But right now, with only 20 ratings despite having 275 amazing followers, every fake rating hits HARD. One troll rating can tank weeks of genuine reader support.
You have more power than you might realize.
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
If you've been reading quietly... whether you just started Act 1, you're deep in Act 2, or you've been with me since the beginning... now's the time to stand up and be counted.
Your rating isn't just a number. It's a shield against trolls. It's fuel for my writing. It's proof that real readers value this story.
I don't beg for 5 stars. I just want honest ratings from real readers to drown out the noise from people trying to game the system.
If Nucleus has entertained you, made you think, or kept you coming back for more, please take 10 seconds to rate it. Show the trolls they can't win.
The next chapter is coming soon. Let's make sure there's still a story worth telling when it does.
Thank you for having my back,
Vel
