On this last one you assume wrong. The verified purchase reviews are from unknown readers. The ones who are from advance readers explicitly say so. And they happen to lower the average. They are few reviews, not much weight in numbers at all, so it is not that strong an argument, but there they are.

As for your hint at fake and interested reviews, advanced reviews are common legal practice. I invented nothing, cheated in nothing. Read lots of blogs, some book, and that was the general advice. Get advanced reviews and specifically inform they are. There is no way you can get some reviews on your publishing day if you don't release some advanced copies. If you do not want to cheat, that is. How do you intend to face your book releasing day on that regard?

A car payment? Ha ha ha. I wish. My advice is worth amazingly little, but it's given humbly and with good intention. Considering you spat it back on my face, I understand I offended you somehow. I apologize.

As for your book, I wish you the best.
