As a hard science fiction writer myself, I can sympathize with this problem. Either people enjoyed the MacGyver-like survival science or they disliked a science lesson wrapped in a story.
Based upon the reviews, it was a very polarizing story. I stumbled upon The Martian on Goodreads. As it turns out, many people really enjoyed The Martian, and, next thing you know, Matt Damon is playing his main character in a blockbuster. He originally planned to give it away, but Amazon requires you to sell ebooks for a minimum of 99 cents, so that’s what he did.
His friends really enjoyed it, but some found it hard to read on their computer screens and asked that he publish it on Kindle. When he originally wrote The Martian, he published it one chapter at a time on his blog for his friends to read.
