Dealing with a bad review, part 3

And now for the conclusion of our exciting adventure, "Marilyn and the Bad Review". Last time, Marilyn said that there's a deeper issue.

The deeper issue is happiness. These reviewers weren't happy. They weren't happy with my book. It didn't make them feel what they were wanting to feel. I don't know what emotion they were looking for, but I didn't provide it - and that didn't make them happy. Their lack of happiness was expressed as a poor review of my book.
You know what the main criticism seemed to be? It seemed to be that my book didn't go into the real troubles associated with establishing a harem relationship in real-life. How would I know anything about that? It isn't what I'm writing about. That aspect of my stories is allegorical. These characters are different aspects and facets of ourselves. And the sex is fun. But it isn't real. Except that it is, if you accept our own multidimensional natures. I am several people. I have different needs and motivations at different times.
All of my books have a preface that tells all of this. It also says that I won't apologize for any of it. I don't mind a critical review that helps me do better. I don't mind that I received a small number bad reviews from people who probably shouldn't have taken up their time reading something that wouldn't give them what they wanted. They did help me reflect and look for ways to improve. I appreciate that.
It's only natural to have my feelings feel a bit bruised at first. I hope 'hat' the bad reviews don't deter other readers who would enjoy a bit of dime-store diversion.
Thank you all who do read and enjoy my writing. Please do follow me and ask questions and connect in a way that helps you feel happy.
