Damn, Goodreads Is Harsh

Yo, what is up with Goodreads?

I understand that not everyone is going to like my book and I accept that, but they don't even give you any feedback. I'd love to know why they gave my book a low rating, and I wouldn't judge it either. These are the first two books I've ever written, after all.

But, still.

Damn.

Has anyone else noticed that it is really hard to secure a good rating on Goodreads?

The one written review I did receive on Amazon said that they loved the book and couldn't wait for the next installment.

I'm not really asking for any advice, I'm just a bit caught off guard.

It does seem like very critical readers make a point to leave negative reviews. The other people who liked the book don't necessarily think to leave a good rating that might help your average.
