I'm sorry, but people kind of need to get it into their heads that almost no books have fandoms. No matter how good it is, how clever and funny, how relatable the characters - almost no books have fandoms. A book needs to be both pretty extraordinarily popular and well-known, and very well liked, before it can have a fandom, and very few books these days have that. Especially, frankly, books which are simply released with little fanfare or marketing, which is most books, and especially books that are not identifiably genre fiction. The number of people who read books in general is somewhat small compared to the number who are watching movies or television; moreover, outside of those few mega-hits, the readership is fairly spread out - it tends to be more wide than deep, in the sense that there's a ton of books and not a lot of people who can read everything out there.

So, yeah. Your favorite book probably doesn't and won't have a fandom unless it's insanely popular. Get over it. There's tons of books that I love that won't have a fandom and that I've never heard of anyone I know reading. But that's what you should expect. A book having a fandom is very much the exception and not the norm.

Sorry if this comes across as snippy but it's so strange to me when people make these secrets.

And I suppose the better answer is that these secrets are almost always advertisements more than anything

but w/e

yeah this is basically true. And even moreso for one-shot books. It makes me sad when I read a great novel that I want to really delve into with other fans, also, but unfortunately that's just not how it works :( Honestly the best you can do is hope it spawns a tv series or movie, but even then the fandom will be predominantly based on the visual media and not the book.

And then any fandom is vicariously through a movie or TV show, with few exceptions. Even the really big, popular books/series.
