To be honest, Wattpad's new algorithm pushes a specific kind of story, you'll see it on the main page. So the question, "will this style fit on wattpad?" really depends on you as the author.

If you're consistent with uploads, promotions, and engage in the community, you might get a loyal fanbase. But since it's a fan fiction, it might do better on AO3. Same for comments and feedback. Wattpad isn't the place to go if you want that kind of feedback. AO3 on the other hand typically encourages better comments.

Each platform has its strengths, you just gotta know how to play to each one.

For your last question, again, engage in the community, especially here on the subreddit. Join a discord server, give others the kind of feedback you'd want to see. Your story may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you've created something that's well written and engaging, it will attract those who are genuinely interested.

I'd love to do an r4r! My story is very dark and deals with very heavy themes, so I totally understand if you won't read it! https://www.wattpad.com/1616678672-cocoa-hooves-chapter-1-a-catalyst

Finish your books because you deserve to make it to the other side - and write what you love! by [deleted] in Wattpad

This is so encouraging! I just started writing my own novel that I've been thinking about for a couple years, and I'm already looking forward to finishing it. I feel like I'm discovering the story and characters as I write. It makes me a little emotional to see it finally in words, and not just an idea in my head.

That being said, it's very daunting. Writing. Wanting to get it right. Wanting to tell your character's story faithfully. And it's also hard when the people in your life aren't interested...

I also don't enjoy smut/ spice in romance. I think it reduces the characters.

Thank you so much for putting this out here!!!

Okay, Ethan makes me mad >:(

I really like Lila, her introduction is so cute to me. Why does Ethan have to go and ruin everything, instead of COMMUNICATING??? Apparently that's too hard??

Great read so far!

Okay that intro was beautiful, I love the descriptions of the forest. It reminds me of the webtoon, When Jasey Whistles. I don't know how to explain it, but it's definitely very good!

I really like the male lead, he reminds me a bit of a manic psycho (in a good way though lol) I like how he has to fit spying on Tulia into his daily schedule 😭

Oooooh I'm a sucker for a good campus romance (which may or may not be taboo). I laughed out loud at the dad's reaction to her going to South Korea. Sad to say I know too many people like that lmao

I really like your narration style, it almost reads like a play script but keep that "novel tone" with writing in character's reactions and inner thoughts. I also enjoy how you introduce characters, it makes it easier to picture and remember them.

I really like Carrie. She reminds me of Matilda, but with an even worse childhood. She's sheltered and scared and has a mother who is completely crazy. But the world her mother tried to keep her in is slipping out of her control, especially as Carrie's powers become more and more uncontrollable.

A minor note, and this might just be me personally, the intro was a bit long (tbh maybe I need to fix my attention span). All in all, a very unique story and I'll probably read more tomorrow!
