If you disagree, and whether anyone read the whole work or not is irrelevant.
They see what any prospective reader would see and are telling you what it communicates to them.
Whether you see those comments as constructive or not, in these conditions you might want to limit any reply to something like "Thank you for your opinion" and leave it at that.

I have learned from this thread that "Thank you for your opinion" is probably the best response, especially if I vehemently disagree with what's been posted. The novella seems to be pretty polarizing, so I should probably get used to it. What I found particularly disrespectful is the notion that I am bringing down the quality of ebooks, which definitely seems to not be a universal opinion, considering my two reviews are a three star and a four star and neither of them are friends/family. Thank you for taking the time to respond. - David
