The book was published in April 2024, so almost two years ago.

To be fair, I have no idea if 6k is a lot or not. But I guess it is kinda good?

My first book has more than 6k downloads. I often wonder who are the ~20 people that download it every day. Never thought it would happen, tbh.

All of those cancerians, crossing the road but never moving away from the constant suffering.

This so interesting and puzzling. There are quite a few unmaintained ones, which surprised me a bit.

That’s very interesting, thank you.

When I published my first book, a guy told me: “oh, I have an idea for a book.” No congratulations to me, just wanted to talk about his book. I guess he was kinda of an idea guy?
