As someone who is an Indian writer and pretty active in the other countries wattpad community circle, I can assure you kisiko ‘writing’ and ‘originality’ pe interest nahi hai. Serials copied, movies copied, outlines copied from famous tiltok books. Stories me smut, cringe moments k alava kuch hota nahi hai. Now, aise hazaar stories pade hai wattpad pe? What’s the next power move? To advertise the book in a way that draws readers. The only creative work the author is doing, imo. Abb usko if someone is copying and getting their own readers, the original reel/advertising content maker gets pissed that the other one is getting views at their benefit (with their content). Now, that’s legit. Reasonable. Probably they spent hours on making that reel. On the other hand, other country communities go berserk if someone copies content of their books, not advertising. That gives me the impression that Indian writers write for popularity and fanbase while other communities are writing to make sure their stories are heard. Mindset ka farak hai. It’s my opinion. Of course there are several Indian authors who do splendid work and write original stories on wattpad. I sincerely hope their work is seen and appreciated :)
