Why So Many Book Reviews Are Being Removed

Many authors are currently experiencing the same problem:
book reviews disappearing, sometimes in bulk, sometimes without warning.

This is not happening by chance.

For years, authors have relied on strategies that simply no longer work.
On the internet, you can still find everything: people buying fake reviews from freelancers, using questionable websites, or relying on review platforms that promised fast results without any real control over who was reviewing what.

The problem is that these systems were never sustainable.

Since August 2025, Amazon has significantly intensified its enforcement.
Platforms with no moderation, recycled reviewers, unnatural timing, or coordinated behavior are now being flagged far more aggressively, and the rate of removed reviews has increased dramatically.

Why Reviews Still Matter More Than Ever

At the same time, reviews remain one of the most critical factors in a book’s success.

Let’s be honest:
if you find two books on the same topic that both look good, you will almost always choose the one with more reviews.

Reviews are a real competitive advantage.

The problem is that getting them is usually:

- expensive, if you rely on ads or paid promotions

- time-consuming, if you try to manage your own community or email list

- uncertain, if you experiment without the right experience or budget

For many authors, this makes the entire process frustrating, inefficient, and difficult to scale.

A Safer and More Predictable Way to Get Reviews

With BookVillage, authors discover books by other emerging authors, choose what they want to read from the library, and post an authentic review.

This approach is especially effective for beginner authors who don’t yet have an email list or an existing community. Instead of building an audience from scratch, they can access a ready-to-engage audience inside BookVillage.

All they need to do is support other authors authentically: discovering new talent, choosing a book they genuinely like, reading it, and leaving an honest review.

By contributing this way, authors gain the right to activate a promotion for their own book. Once active, their book becomes visible inside the BookVillage library, where it can be discovered, selected, read, and reviewed over time.

This creates a natural and balanced flow, without artificial incentives or risky patterns.
In practical terms, most authors can receive between 3 and 6 reviews per week, consistently and safely.

Why BookVillage Is Different From Other Platforms

If you spend time on Reddit, you’ve probably seen negative comments about other review platforms.
And in many cases, those authors are right.

Most platforms are not designed for long-term sustainability. They rely on coin or credit systems, allow almost anyone to enter, and offer little to no real moderation. Over time, this creates artificial behavior, repeated reviewer patterns, and exposes authors to fake or risky accounts.

BookVillage was built differently.

The platform uses a Fake Reviewer Detection System that actively identifies and removes potentially harmful accounts before they can cause damage. In parallel, our algorithms regulate repeated interactions between users, generating behavior that mirrors what a real author would naturally create through their own email list or community.

Each author also builds their own ARC-style reader team over time, with full control. You can exclude readers you don’t want, avoid repeated pairings, and maintain a clean, credible review history.

Inside BookVillage, you’ll find serious, passionate authors who understand the value of community and support. Together, this structure allows independent authors to finally compete with traditionally published books in terms of visibility, credibility, and social proof.

Not through shortcuts.
But through a system that actually works.
