I don't think I've ever seen a recommendation for books with less reviews than The Battleship Chronicle. That's not bad per se, just unusual.

The books (Battlefield Chronicles as a series) were originally published serially on royal road, where it has quite the following.

There are a lot of excellent authors who self publish, first on Reddit / royal road, and then some of them publish the same work as a book. The promotion channels, including review copies, etc - that a good publisher can facilitate - aren’t often accessible for this cohort. So that’s one big reason why - discovery becomes a challenge.
