I know times are tough financially for a lot of people and it's likely not getting better any time soon.

I know that wanting people to buy books in such times is a huge ask.

So I'll remind you the web serial version of Heirs of Hyarch is and will remain free to read for all - no purchases needed.

I feel like any joke I could make is subpar to the ones the people who wrote this advertisement puff piece already inadvertently made.
"I can guess what you're thinking. Why not just use a notebook, right?" A line from the linked article, ignoring that a notebook costs less than a fifth of the price of this nonsense.

At least the whole Greta Thunberg captivity story is giving me a new fresh list of people to block here.
Clipped screenshot of a Bluesky post. The text reads: Hot take: Greta Thunberg is not a good person. She does what she does for attention. Clipped screenshot of a Bluesky post. The text reads: Greta Thunberg is a good little Nazi. She would have made a wonderful camp guard. Most of them were her age, you know.

Even setting aside that the skin color of the person in the banner and that of the hand in the profile pic don't match...

...it's quite interesting how the lines on the page vanish where the writing is in said profile pic. Almost like it's not a real book...or even a real picture...
