I thought this goes without saying but.
🕑 Added 2023-02-02 23:49:44 +0000 UTCI believed this went without saying but apparently we have people do not understand that it is not only inconsiderate but I would think despicable to do.
As of today there has been one of the patrons who dislikes the book. This is fine you are free to change your mind with the story, I hold no grudge or qualms for that we each like and dislike what we will and want.
What is not ok and borderline theft is when you go and place what is paid for here on patreon in a review on the page of said fiction. Which is what this user here has done.
I have messaged the support on RR and have asked them to remove it as well as asked the person in question to remove the part of the review that reveals spoilers that each and every one of you has paid your hard earn money to read, for everyone on Royal Road to see now for free.
This not only violates me as the author, but you the reader who has purchased early chapters by doing so. This also ruins the experience and tension I have attempted to build through the story up until this point.
This should make you as sick if not more than it does I. As this person has essentially cheated you out of your own money.
I again did not believe I would have to explicitly say this, but this type of behavior is not acceptable.
I understand that my work could be possibly stolen, and that is something I have accepted. This however is taking work I have put time and hours into not to mention you as the patron has paid for, and put it out for others to see that have not.
I am deeply disappointed.

That’s lame as hell, I’m sorry to hear that :/
They have removed the part that is spoiling content that isnt on RR so I don't believe they will. RR support has also not been the most helpful so.... But appreciate the sentiment.

Welp that person is a dickhead. Hopefully RR support gets on that and bans them.
Just to clarify I am not advocating for this person to be harassed in anyway. I am simply bringing it up because i am in disbelief that someone would do this then try to backpedal when confronted about it, and try to play the victim. Although it is outright disgusting. I am not asking for this person to be harassed.
