Any good? Can you summarize so I don’t have to read it all?

Congrats!
I’m still in the midst of writing my story and have considered self-publishing as well. Traditional, as much as it is “respected,” does feel like it is dying and not keeping up with the fast world that is evolving around it (and the wait times for it is from what i heard, agony.)
Any advice when going the self-pub route?

I read this and initially thought you had to save up money for 16 months to buy the first book you've ever owned, ever. I'm like damn, I know the economy is tough but that's like some Nigeria level poverty.
Happy for you dude! Always been a dream of mine.

Well done, old son! I hope it sells a million copies and you write many more to your adoring fans. Well done indeed.

I never suggested it was a crazy question but frankly i did everything I could to ensure the quality of my work and so if it is found wanting then I would hear anyone’s criticism. However, only one person has read the story and they’ve a great many reasons to love it as well.
Edit: I mean to say I have no unbiased source of opinion on my book so I’ll just wait until one emerges.

This is actually not a crazy question. Like obviously you’ve read it, but have you actually read it like a normal person would is totally fair to ask.

I taught myself actually but the first book I ever read to become a writer was “On writing” by Stephen King, which he said don’t use adverbs. I followed that advice until I could learn to use them effectively.
