If Steve-O, the dude who tried copious amounts of drugs and other dangerous things, the one seemingly less lacking of sensibility out of all the Jackass crew, but owner of the biggest balls on the planet Earth, tells you that you need to get your life together then yes, definitely this.

Edit 3: OP has since this comment edited his text several times as you can see by the 'edited 10 minutes ago'. From what I can see he removed/changed some sensational sentences, and mentions that it's a an old book now from 2013, something he did not mention before.
He also included he 'won' this Best Independently published work by Podler award, which I cannot find anything by on Google but a short review that is as average as the Amazon reviews.
There's something highly fishy about this and reeks of a guy trying to sell his low budget book for $5 and get free advertising as if it's a really great story he has written. There's also zero reviews for his book on the page. If it's so great why is nobody praising it? (See edit, it's because it's a free novel. OP's title is clickbait. He conveniently linked to the paid version and not the current one that shows a lot of bad reviews.)
You're making it sound like you beat Stephen King as the better writer/book or something? You're cherry picking the nice stats but in overall you're not being very honest.
OP my questions to you:
What did you do to advertise this book and how did you get into the Kindle Unlimited store?
How many did you sell, and not just rent out for free - also, how does Kindle Unlimited work? Do you get a fee for every book someone downloads? Honestly curious.
Edit: Here I found his free version of the book. It comes with Kindle Unlimited so of course you're going to have a ton of downloads. The reviews here are also less stellar.
Doesn't take away from his accomplishment, but he's one of many who has their book in the Kindle Unlimited library and in no way it seems to be good enough to make him 'better' than Stephen King and 'giving him a run for his money'. Not by a very long shot, even, as the book is very short and doesn't even seem finished judging by the reviews.
I 100% don't mind OP trying to advertise his book, just don't like being bullshitted by cherry picked stats that are 'technically' correct but are clickbait.
Edit 2: Possible fake reviewers also, rating 5 stars only on their review history with copy/pasted reviews, and there's more:
Not only that, there's a ton of reviews who mention reddit:
Read both of your IAMAs on Reddit and then decided to read it myself. Stellar book! Keep up the good work sir!
I saw the book on Reddit and downloaded it to pass the time while I was waiting for my car to be serviced.
This was back in 2014 and there's many more mentioning Reddit. However, it's weird, because if you check OP's comment history it shows NO signs of previous AMA's that are spoken about in the reviews of his book. It goes back to 2013 some of those Reddit reviews. What does he have to hide to make a new account for this?
Feels like he creates an AMA once in a while to promote his book, plays Reddit with clickbait titles, and moves on.
Here's his previous AMA, now deleted by him with the same sensational title.
It also mentions people getting it through Imgur - so he advertised it there as well. Why does he delete all previous AMA's and posts about his book? Something doesn't add up, he does this every year or so and moves on deleting all his comments and posts about it.
Even back in 2013 it mentions he is releasing 'Book 2' soon - but nothing as of that yet. Also no info from OP about that tv-show, so it seems to be made up. I highly doubt they would make a TV-show out of a free kindle unlimited book of 130 pages that has mixed and average reviews. So this contributes to OP not being very honest, which is all I care about when writing this comment which is almost as long as OP's book is by now. that was a joke

People are literally more shocked that she's Vegan and the fact there's Incest porn out there, but a cum pizza? No biggie.

How do you feel that Imgur has spawned its own community, Imgurians, and some even detest Reddit?
