The GR community has hashed the star system over again and again and again. It's not going to change. All you can change is your reaction to it.

This is not about how the books are rated. It is about reviews and ratings of books that are not available to be reviewed. In most cases, books that are unlikely ever to be published. Such as a review of RAH's
The Stone Pillow that was removed from GR years back.
Edit: Since you seem to be unable to comprehend the difference between reviews and ratings of books that are not published as yet (and may never be published) so the "reviewer" can not have read them and ratings and reviews of books based on ARCs or similar early releases, perhaps you should spend some time attempting to comprehend that difference.
Perhaps taking a look at Goodread's information for George R. R. Martin's
The Winds of Winter or
A Dream of Spring. The first is available on Kobo, the second is available on Amazon.ca going by the supplied links.
