    Ok, I accept that, but it inevitably leads to the next question of “what metric would you accept to call oneself a bestselling authour?”

      By definition, bestselling is what it is. The question is “does bestselling mean they’re a good author?” And that’s what we have reviews for.

      Probably something better than “it sold more than 1000 copies in a week”. Especially when the author can indirectly buy all those copies with not that much money, just to claim the best selling title
