Unfortunately, the world has become like this and publishing is no exception. It is a money-making machine. It is difficult to make headway, but everything in life that one does with passion has its reward. Don't give up. By the way, where can I see the book? I would like to read it.
Writing was hardly ever originally a money-making machine, but it definitely has become it since people are so "what can I consume" oriented. Consumption is passive, creation is active. Not all creations have nutrients, so to speak.
Giving up is not in my vocabulary, but I do re-calibrate. The version of the book that is The Rogue Scholar: The Rogue To Victory that is here is well, here.
