I think some people find his work intimidating cause it hits a little too close to home.

I like him but all his books are so similar, the events are different and the character's last name and job are slightly altered but his worldview is the same from his first book to his last, not much growth or anything new to say, no variation

He sued but had no case. My guess is they settled out of court. The video leaked btw and they shared it via Telegram to a limited bunch of people.

i view him at the same level as I view stephen king. Undeniably talented but ultimately pulp that you read when you're stuck at an airport or something like that
