You are no under no legal, moral, ethical, or even sadistic obligation to finish reading something you don't like. Free will exists for a reason, so unless you're either a) fantastically stupid, b) horrendously weak-willed, c) a glutton for punishment, or d) all of the above, STOP READING. Life is too short to waste. So if you place ANY value whatsoever on your time, if you catch yourself hating my work as you read, I freely give you permission to stop reading that very instant. Don't leave a review, don't push on 'in the hopes that it will get better' - if you don't like what you've read so far, chances are, in your opinion, it won't get better. And if it's one of my larger works on which others are based (such as 'Sword of the Soul' for SAMURAI 7 or 'Unexpected Results' for TRINITY BLOOD), don't read the secondary works that relate to these stories, either.
