When did I take no criticism?
Also, I've offered an early version of about 40% of the novel for free.

I'm interested in knowing what I did to come across as an ass, or antagonize anyone.

As usual, not true.

You can get info on my novel, including an early draft of 40% of it for free, plus many of my short stories, here:

I post about my self-published novel occasionally.

Not true and you know it.

If my novel counts as "art", here you go.

I mean, why else would I be posting in /wg/ if I wasn't a writer in some capacity?

Continue to be honest, decent, and hardworking!
Why?
Because you want to be different.
Seems like everyone these days is an amoral scumbag.
What a bunch of sheeple and joiners!
Declare your uniqueness by being a good person!

I enjoy being honest and decent, if only just for the shock value.

My novel (picrel) has that as one of its central themes.

By putting it in the near, near future...like, it could start any minute now.

Here's my self-published book.
Find it on Amazon (where else).

I wrote something like that.

Just self-publish on Amazon. At least it'll be available to others.

But getting an audience...good luck. That's gonna be a *lot* of work, especially if you don't have an existing social media following.

Heck, I've resorted to posting the cover of my novel on various responses on 4chan.

I'm not *trying* to shitpost, but I'm sure someone will still feel I am.

Picrel is my entry for the contest.

"like there's no tomorrow" -> "like there was no tomorrow", since the rest of the book is written in the past tense.

"[t]hey're even crazier than the Muslims." Oooh, someone's gonna put a jihad on you!

"treys" -> "trays"

I do appreciate your position on dialog tags, though. I have the same one.

I went ahead and ordered a paperback. Maybe someone will give my foray into near-future cyberpunk a chance, too.

My novel somehow achieved a Flesch Reading Ease of 75.9, a Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level of 4.8, and 2% passive sentences.

That seems too good to be true. I wonder if Word didn't hiccup or something.

Apparently, that's the path I chose.
Because what I wrote certainly isn't popular.

It's free to read on Kindle Unlimited, plus I posted an early draft of about 40% of it, so hopefully that satisfies your sense of ethics. Plus, it's got a heavy anarcho-libertarian bent to it, which is probably more appreciated here than anywhere else on the Net.
