My interest is I like reading on Wattpad.
There I said it, it’s out. I am not ashamed that I do, but I never
really talk about it. I have been thinking about this lately, I am a
book reviewer who reads books on Wattpad.
If you don’t know what, what Wattpad is,
it’s a website where you can post your novels/short stories/really
whatever you want. But with social aspects, you can vote on stories,
comment, add to your libraries and connect with authors in ways that you
cannot do with traditional published and even self-published authors.
I personally think that Wattpad is a
pretty amazing website, there are some incredible stories on there, and
some that I wish were published because they are that good.
There are many aspects of Wattpad that are
really good. One of those is that you get to read the novels as they
are written. On Wattpad, you upload chapter by chapter. I like seeing
how an author can create a story as they go, how they work with
loopholes, how they fix those loopholes. It’s interesting, how someone
can write chapter upload it and then write the next chapter and so on.
It is also really easy to navigate and
use. You can use both your laptop and the mobile app and they are
in-sync with each other. You get notifications when you a story is
updated if it’s in your library or you follow the author.
Also, if you have opened the story on your phone or it’s in your library, you can read it offline on the app.
There are also some stories that have been picked up for publishing, some that have done quite well.
With all these good things there are some con’s about Wattpad.
There are some horribly written books.
Like really bad that I want to cry about. The way I go about choosing a
book is I read the synopsis and then the first chapter – that normally
tells me if I want to continue reading. Sometimes I do this multiple
times before I find a book that I want to read.
Some are not edited at all, and those are
the books that I want to just rip apart – but I don’t because I know
that is what you sometimes get when reading books on Wattpad.
Overall, I really do enjoy reading books
on Wattpad. It is a different experience, but always fun. I don’t like
when people say that because they are not ‘published’ stories or that
they are not well written – yes some are, however there are some amazing
stories on there that are very much publishable.
