Admittedly he is somewhat polarizing. He generally writes "young adult" fiction, which some see as a kind of lowest common denominator. He also is fairly public about his mental health issues. If you don't have the background about his depression and anxiety, he can seem like a very "privileged problems" kinda guy. He's also a successful YouTube creator/vlogger/various other kinds of content. The fanbase can be...vigorous and passionate. There's plenty of reasons people might not like him. I disagree with those reasons completely, but I know there are some.
