Can Review Language Affect Marketplace Transfers?
Just received a review on a marketplace that isn’t my main one. The same thing happened to me in the past, and because the review was a Verified Purchase, it was eventually transferred to the marketplace that mattered to me, so the review wasn’t actually lost. However, I've noticed that when a review is posted in a different marketplace and in a different language, it doesn't seem to transfer, even when it's a Verified Purchase. Has anyone experienced this? Could it be because the review was written in the local language rather than English? Would writing the review in English increase the chances of it being transferred to other marketplaces? Also, is there any way BookVillage could suggest this to reviewers? For example, recommending that reviews be written in English when possible, if that increases the likelihood of the review appearing across multiple Amazon marketplaces?

I agree, that's what I was trying to say.
Why giving 4 stars with no constructive feedback?
Hi all. I've been noticing a trend most recently where authors leave a 4-star review on my book but without offering real constructive feedback. All of the ones on my case are from UK. It' very frustrating because I don't have anything to do to improve my book and my listing gets hurt. What are the motivations from people to do that?

@Laura Diaz I completely agree with you! That’s such a great point, and I felt the same way while reading

@Kate Hackett I can understand why that would shake you, especially when the book is already selling well and receiving positive feedback from its target audience. I absolutely respect honest reviews, but one challenge with review programs is that readers sometimes choose books outside their usual genres or age categories. When that happens, it can be difficult to separate genuine flaws in the book from a simple audience mismatch.
Reviews with Images
Hey everyone! 😊 I just posted my first review with a few images from inside the book, and it got me thinking, do you think Book Village might support in-book images as a feature in the future? I feel like seeing actual pages or moments from the book adds a lot to a review, but I’m curious how others feel about it. Would you like to see more of that on the platform?
