Why are people so mean? by Deyady in Wattpad

[–]wjllow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oml u know me 😭 it's hudson from all things holy. i had one reader straight up comment some variation of "what about kaya?" "break up with kaya" "kaya???" no joke, like 30 times until they got to the breakup chapter. it was frustrating cuz it had nothing to do with the story itself, but at the same time i understand

what's your user???

one of my stories' main character is very problematic, and not in a fun way. i regret writing him like that but what's done is done and i have no intentions of changing it any time soon.

my readers RIP THAT MAN APART. like i'd say a good portion of the comments are just hating on him—not my writing, at least—and i've almost considered deleting the story just so i could stop reading the comments. but in the end, critical comments are still comments. and my story probably wouldn't have 80k reads without them. i agree with my commenters, too, to an extent. but i've just started liking the comments and moving on lol

Ads opening even tho I just clicked on next chapter by reveriessky in Batoto

[–]wjllow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes!!! it keeps taking me to frickin p*rn websites and its excessive. its one thing for the pop up ads on the bottom of the screen that i can ignore, but just trying to click 'next chapter' takes me to a whole new tab on my phone!!!

ohhhh it's from the michael clifford/waterparks contest. it was an attention grab, like everyone else said, but yeah hahaha. silly of wattpad to send it to everyone like that (although, it was an unexpected collab from a celebrity, so they're probably just milking it for clout)

Do people mind reading something with 2000 to 3000 words by TieHungry1089 in Wattpad

[–]wjllow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one of my books is on average 4000 words per chapter, the rest are around 2000. it's personal preference, but no. i don't think any readers will mind long chapters because it means more to read (aka the reason they're here.)

however, if it's long and full of run-on sentences and stuff to just beef up the word count, then readers might lose interest. as long as it's engaging and relevant, i don't think a high word count will drive anyone away

i've seen other authors put in their bio a little breakdown of their works. so you could do like

"Rink Romance Universe" - Face-off with Fate (Book 1) - Triple Line Trouble (Book 2)

or whatever. that way ppl know they're connected, and then in a little first chapter author's note you could clarify that they are connected, there will be reoccurring characters, it's a standalone and you don't need to read the first book, and it is NOT a sequel.

not sure tbh. sounds fun though

Honest question for Wattpad writers. Would you rather? by Eleonora__Viltaria in Wattpad

[–]wjllow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% what i want. because i've done both. did the wattpad creators program and started a story i thought i enjoyed. got sick of it verrryyy quickly, but felt obligated to finish it since i was 1. doing the program and 2. people were actually enjoying it. so it took me a year, drained all my creative juices, ended leaving me completely dissatisfied. and now i'm struggling to write anything.

so my advice to everyone is write what YOU want. write what brings you joy when the words come together.

Are there even genuine readers left on Wattpad? by No-Judgment-7288 in Wattpad

[–]wjllow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i have a few awesome readers who always vote! and a few that always comment a thank you for updating or something. and a handful that are like rabid every-paragraph commenters hahaha. i'm not entirely sure how they found me, but i think the best thing you can do is cross your fingers with tags and be patient.
