I understand that not everyone has the same taste. The book that made someone joyfully is a piece of trash to others. For example, I think "Fifty shades of grey" is bullshit and an illusion for naive women, but many women will enjoy this.
Some people use bad ratings and reviews as a tool for revenge. I had conflicts with a few authors in the past, and they use it to rate bad my books. It is not professional at all, that is a childish act.
If you want to show your greatness, make a successful. Show me you can sell more books than I could, or get more reviews.
While you are spending time spitting at my work, I am writing and promoting my books. I am too busy with my aim to make a paycheck for bad people.
If you rate a book with one star, and that book has more than 20 good reviews, you should have good arguments.
If you can describe why you don't like a book, I will congratulate you. If you just write "this is trash", it doesn't talk about a book, it talks about you more.
Make a difference between the art and the artist. You might don't like the author personally, but can you say the same about his books?
The review should be objective, not motivated by the kind of rage you feel toward someone.
If you make your aim to constantly ruin someone's business, you will show the next:
Your frustration.
Your obsession.
Your insecurity.
You claim you can do better than don't make a competition with someone you hate. Compete with the best, and show your best. That is the point of creativity, to show your best.
