pirating is the worst. Sorry to hear that, Scott. Me and many of my indie author friends have all had our work pirated, too. The thing is, it's hard to tell if that's really your book there or if they've just pulled your book off amazon and are really hosting malware or other destructive programs to scam you because you often have to download their software first. Really foul ones sell the ebooks like they're a legit site but probably are stealing your credit card information in the process.
The click bait stuff I don't worry about too much for this very reason, but this was a site with my whole book available to read online. Little&Brown, I find, is pretty good at policing this stuff though. Still one has to wonder for the future. We had friends over a few nights ago who laughed that I would be so stupid to buy Bluerays for things that were free. Its got to the point where I'm apologizing for taking intellectual property seriously.
It's time to do what web-comic authors do - stick books on your site for free and sell t-shirts, hats and stickers. Circumfix bumper stickers will out-number Jesus fish in a few years. Or instead of Calvin peeing decals, we can have Aurang ejaculating. The possibilities are endless.
"Akka has no certain role in the next series, his age makes him likely to die"
There's a lot in your post cigoli, but I'm not so sure about this one. If fucking Keith Richards is still alive after decades of heroin addiction, no reason to assume that snorting the ashes of an ancient, immortal hero won't continue to have interesting effects on Akka- as with all of Bakker's gifts to his characters, blessings along with curses. I expect Akka to have quite a bit of life left. He is the hero.
Some of the plotlines have (for me) little sense without a continuation.
For example, Achamian&Mimara: what will be the point of travelling all through Earwa, endure Cil-Aujas, the Mop, a dragon, Ishual, etc, and then arrive to the Great Ordeal and don't use the fucking Judging Eye, share at most some pathetic words with Kellhus (sparing him useful information about Cnaiur, Ishual... and not really confronting him) and don't do a fucking thing in the great battle of their time???
We get day-to-day experience of a Nonman Erratic, we find out Ishual has been destroyed by the Consult, we get a POV from a Dunyain who is then exposed to the Judging Eye, and we get a baby pumped full of qirri in the womb, who may or may not be a receptacle for the soul of Kellhus. You're right about the reunion with Kellhus though
No, its important because Kellhus soesnt know the importance of it. Hence, he probably had no idea Mimara had the JE, ergo no Baby Kellhus
