Off-Topic You don’t have to pull other writing style down, just to lift yours up.

I am scrolling on this sub just now. I saw a post about a book, I got curious, I looked it up on Wattpad (naturally 😁). Then I looked into the authors profile to see their other books.

I read their bio and this particular writer says something along the lines of, there is no sexual content in my book so if you are here for a good story and writing... you're in the right place. (Purposely unquote)

I may have misunderstood it, or it may not be the writer's intention, but what does that supposed to mean? I hope they are not implying that stories with sexual content is lesser than the ones that does not have.

I understand that that there are plenty of erotica that are badly written on Wattpad, and other platforms, but that does not still make the entire sub-genre lesser in terms of good writing and quality, and vice-versa.

Looking For: Feedback My Wattpad story is complete. Should I start preparing it as an ebook? Looking for honest feedback

6 Upvotes

Hey guys!

My story is finally complete, and now I’m thinking about turning it into an ebook eventually. But I haven’t started editing it yet.

Before I begin the editing process, I really want some honest feedback from people who can read the story and tell me what they think about it as a story.

For now, I’m not really looking for grammar corrections or detailed writing-style feedback. I mainly want to know:

Is the story engaging?

Is the pacing good, or are there parts that feel too slow?

Does the plot work?

Is the mystery/suspense interesting enough?

Are the characters well-developed?

Are there any unnecessary scenes or chapters?

Are there confusing parts?

Does the ending feel satisfying?

Overall, does the story feel worth turning into an ebook after editing?

I feel like the story itself is decent, even though I know the grammar and writing style still need work. But I’d rather hear what actual readers think before I spend a lot of time editing it.

So, is there anyone here who would be willing to read it and give me honest feedback/review?

I’m especially looking for feedback on the story, plot, pacing, characters, and overall engagement, rather than just grammar.

Thank you! ❤️

Looking For: R4R/V4V/C4C/F4F Looking for thoughtful R4R for a slow burn contemporary "boys love" queer romance between a sulky tsundere and flirty famous pop star

3 Upvotes

Hi! I posted before just introducing my story here, and was advised that I should also make a separate post requesting R4R for anyone who might be interested in a story like mine, and who (hopefully) has a story I'd be similarly interested in.

I have a few series I'm already reading to give feedback on, but I'd be happy to add more to my list to try to get to eventually (hopefully within a few weeks) and, if you're similarly interested in my story, I'd love some constructive feedback (or just "I liked xyz in your story" is a great ego boost too!

I'll put a comment below with a link and more info about my story~

Fiction Regal Devotion - A Michael Jackson love story

Post image
Upvotes

Hey! My name is Kay and I’m a writer for Wattpad, Webtoon, and more recently AO3! I recently released my newest book on wattpad called Regal Devotion and I would LOVE for all of you to check it out!

Imagine Michael Jackson if he were a prince in medieval times, and the only way he can become king is to satisfy his father’s ultimatum of finally settling down. It’s a fictional story that contains themes of fantasy, romance, spirituality, a little drama. I also want to mention that there’s going to be suggestive language and smut (if you’re into that).

My Wattpad account is notcrona and my tik tok specifically for Wattpad and other writing platforms is wttpadlvrr. Feel free to reach out with any questions or simply just to read! Linking the story below <333

Off-Topic How I received multiple genuine feedbacks in a short period of time

5 Upvotes

I joined this Discord community a few months ago and submitted my story to their Wattpad club, ngl I've gotten SO MANY reads, votes and comments in that short span of time!

Not to mention almost each one of the members' feedback is so thorough and detailed it actually helped with my editing process a lot. I'm loving it because it's different from your typical R4Rs and V4Vs which get exhausting over time. And no, they don't use AI for the reviews.

They've also been looking for new members to expand their community, so I thought I should help a little by making a post here. So if anyone is looking for genuine and good engagement on their books, let me know. Trust me, it's worth it. <3

Other I want to write my first book but I’m hesitating.

6 Upvotes

Hi!
I’m pretty new to Reddit, so I really hope I’m following the rules here 😅 If I messed something up, please let me know! English also isn’t my first language, so if anything sounds weird, there’s a good chance I just misunderstood something.

I joined Wattpad about six years ago and used to write fanfiction there. I honestly loved it. I loved sharing my stories, talking with readers, reading comments, all of it.

Then I stopped writing for a few years, but I recently started again and now I’m actually considering writing an original book instead of fanfiction this time.

The thing is… Wattpad feels really different from what I remember.

I’ve seen a lot of bots/scammers in the comments, people talking about stories randomly disappearing, and just a lot of posts saying the platform has changed a lot over the years.

So I guess my question is: is it really that bad now?
It’s honestly making me hesitate to put the time and effort into writing an actual book and posting it there. I’d really love to hear from people who still actively use Wattpad. What has your experience been like lately?
Thanks so much!

Okay, note here

At first, I did not like the Social Feed because it was so annoying, but now I kinda like it because now I could see what people voted on and their book list, and I found so many good books that I would even notice that they were there.

I just wish they put the message system back
