	Onision responded to the controversy in the video "Onision Virgin? (Virginity Explained)", uploaded June 1, 2019. In the video, he explains people are trying to make it look like he wrote a creepy story, but they don't understand he wrote stories from his actual life. [[Julia]] was the actual name of the 15 year old girl he had his first kiss with when he was 11. In the video, he goes into painstaking detail about the sexual experiences he and the real Julia had. He defends himself for writing about it by pointing out he was told there are underage sex scenes in the books "It" and "Game of Thrones". He says if anyone should be called creepy, it would be Julia because she was 4 years older than him. He says he should be considered the victim in the situation by the age perspective, but he doesn't consider himself a victim because it was cool to experience being with somebody more developed than him.

The book was originally released as individual chapters exclusively to $2+ monthly supporters of Onision's [[Patreon]]. When the book was completed, Onision released it on Amazon.

			Onision took the book out of print in early 2026 for the release of an AI rewrite of the book, [[Reaper's Creek REWRITE]].

	On January 28, 2018, ~~Greg~~ announced on ~~twitter~~ he released the first chapter to his new book to Patreon. He said the book will be complete and available for anyone to read in 4 or 5 months, but his Patreons would "get a head start". He thanked his Patreons for funding his dreams. ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:ReaperTwitter.jpg Source]) On Patreon, he said he will write about events from his life, similarly to his previous two books. He said every chapter will have a version of events from his life.

	~~Greg~~ named the main character of Reaper's Creek Daniel, which was ~~Greg~~'s last name before marrying [[~~Kai~~]].

Onision named the main character of Reaper's Creek Daniel, which was Onision's legal last name before marrying [[Lucas]]. This is similar to his first book where he named the main character after his then middle name, James.

	After the release of the first chapter, ~~Greg~~ periodically released more chapters on Patreon. He also uploaded audio of himself reading some of the chapters. The story was complete in December of that year and on December 18, 2018, ~~Greg~~ released Reaper's Creek on Amazon.

	The early chapter releases on Patreon were received with a lot of criticism, particularly in what seemed to be a lack of editing. For example, in the first chapter (as well as others), the main characters' name inexplicably changes from Daniel to Greg. Some of ~~Greg~~'s fans offered to edit his book for free. One comment from his Patreon [[Beck]] offering free editing caused a heated discussion in his Patreon comments.

	On February 12, 2018, ~~Greg~~ responded by rejecting the idea of an editor on twitter, ending the tweet with "I don't play by your rules & if that is a problem: dont fukin reed muh book, thx". He also retweeted a tweet from 2015 saying something similar, originally in response to criticism of his book [[Stones To Abbigale]]. ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:Reaper%27s_Edit_Twitter.png Source]) He also retweeted a tweet from 2012 that said "Grammar Nazis should be sent to death camps."

	Later that day, ~~Greg~~ wrote a post to his Patreon that included a video under the title "I Want You To Be Happy". In the post, he explains people are not happy with his book. He wants to make his Patreon supporters happy, but he also wants to continue creating something that represents him and his imperfections. He says if you are concerned with grammar, you can read other books.

	[[File:Reapers Comment.png\|350px\|thumb\|right\|The comment that got to ~~Greg~~'s core]]In the video, ~~Greg~~ announces sometimes he is "real" with his Patreons and doesn't hold back even though it comes off as rude. He says he doesn't mean to be rude because he appreciates them, but he read a comment that "got to my core". He says ever since he started writing books people have been going after him about grammar. He says he doesn't write books for it to be bought by the masses, he writes them for the small audience that would appreciate it. He says he writes books how he would write anything else, like an email. He does not worry about grammar because to him writing is an art and we shouldn't be serious about it. He says his books are about the story and not how the story is presented. He said a lot of people said his books are awesome and did not comment on the grammar. He said the person that made the comment he is making the video about said they were trying to be helpful, yet they called his work was "sloppy". (He stops speaking to make a confused face.) He said his tweets were his "restraintful" response to this comment, trying not to offend anybody. He says he does not need people to read his book. He would rather have almost no one read his book than hand it over to an editor to modify his book. He asks his audience not to buy his books if they care about grammar. He says his current book is about his childhood. This video was later uploaded to Youtube under the name "Don't Buy My Books", but has since been re-uploaded to [[Archive]] under them name "Don't Read Onision's Books".

He said every chapter will have a version of events from his life. ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:Reaper_Chapter1.png Source])

	The chapters were received with a lot of criticism, particularly in what seemed to be a lack of editing. For example, in the first chapter (as well as others), the main characters' name inexplicably changes from Daniel to Greg. Some of Greg's fans offered to edit his book for free. One comment from his Patreon [[Beck]] caused a heated discussion in his Patreon comments.

	On February 12, 2018, Greg responded by rejecting the idea of an editor on twitter, ending the tweet with "I don't play by your rules & if that is a problem: dont fukin reed muh book, thx". He also retweeted a tweet from 2015 saying something similar originally in response to criticism of his book [[Stones To Abbigale]]. ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:Reaper%27s_Edit_Twitter.png Source]) He also retweeted a tweet from 2012 that said "Grammar Nazis should be sent to death camps."

	Later that day, Greg wrote a post to his Patreon that included a video under the title "I Want You To Be Happy". In the post he explains people are not happy with his book. He wants to make his Patreon supporters happy, but he also wants to continue creating something that represents him and his imperfections. He says if you are concerned with grammar, you can read other books.

	[[File:Reapers Comment.png\|350px\|thumb\|right\|The comment that got to Greg's core]]In the video, he announces sometimes he is "real" with his Patreons and doesn't hold back even though it comes off as rude. he says he doesn't mean to be rude because he appreciates them, but he read a comment that "got to my core". He says ever since he started writing books people have been going after him about ~~this~~. He says he doesn't write books for the small audience that would appreciate it. He says he writes books how he would write anything else, like an email. He does not worry about grammar because to him writing is an art and we shouldn't be serious about it. He says his books are about the story and not how the story is presented. He said a lot of people said his books are awesome and did not comment on the grammar. He said the person that made the comment he is making the video about said they were trying to be helpful, yet they called his work was "sloppy". (He stops speaking to make a confused face.) He said his tweets were his "restraintful" response to this comment, trying not to offend anybody. He says he does not need people to read his book ~~and~~ would rather have almost no one read his book than hand it over to an editor to modify his book. He asks his audience not to buy his books if they care about grammar. He says his current book is about his childhood. This video was later uploaded to Youtube under the name "Don't Buy My Books", but has since been re-uploaded to [[Archive]] under them name "Don't Read Onision's Books".

	Beck, the writer of the comment, defended herself in the Youtube comments of Greg's video saying she was not trying to be malicious and only wanted to help with his book. She said she felt like Greg's "grammar Nazis should be sent to death camps" tweet was fucked up because she told Greg she was a grammar Nazi two weeks prior.
