The book you are looking at is a sort of omnibus. There are a lot of omnibus. There are omnibus of 10 book series. In order for all the reviews for all the books inside an omnibus to show, all the individual books in that omnibus would have to be merged into one book.
How would people be able to locate the individual book reviews they wanted to read if they were all jumbled together, willy-nilly? You wouldn’t. So omnibus are never merged in that way.
What you can do is create an edition of that book that is NOT merged with the others.

Looks like it’s not even that important to have all the reviews together. I think there was a psychological factor at play – I wanted to feel less “lonely” while reading that book. I know, it doesn’t make sense :)
It totally makes sense! I mean, this is a social network, lol. We're all interested in sharing - at least a little bit. :-)
Thank you in advance for your help.
