(DISCONTINUED)
I haven't had an account on Wattpad for long and already I've seen things that have shocked me to my core.
So, I thought it would be fun to document the things I see on Wattpad such as cliches, tropes, experiences, just Wattpad stuff...
Purely satirical and just for fun. DO NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.

Welcome to . . .
TWWWL!
(I'm working on the theme song <3)
Ignoring the fact that I don't seem to know the difference between a Saturday and a Sunday (I'm sorry, I was busy), let's jump right into it.
After reads, and votes, the next obvious thing would be comments. I'm excited for comments.
To all you non-writers, let me tell you - there is NOTHING a writer loves more than comments.
But P, why are comments so amazing?
Well, if you've read the previous parts of this book, you'd know that there are a GAZILLION ways to bribe reads and votes. Comments . . . well, you have to be a reader to actually COMMENT on something.
But, the sad thing is that, not every comment is completely genuine, and not every reader actually comments.
To make it fun, let's make a tier list of types of comments, from worst to best.
*
READERS AND THEIR COMMENTS (from worst to best, according to my preference):
1 - Silent readers
Every wonder why your views seem to be going up, but you have like, 0 comments?
Well, now you know who the culprits are.
Silent readers are . . . frustrating, to say the least. They make you feel like this:

It's sad really, but I can't really complain, cause I feel like I fall into that category, myself.
But P, why DON'T they comment?
I'm not sure, to be honest. Perhaps they're shy, or just to engrossed in the story, or just simply forget.
2 - Fake comments
Yes, I believe these DO exist. I feel like they're probably the only way to bribe comments. For example:
Story :
" . . . and she rode off into the sunset, wind in her hair, finally free"
Comment :
Update pls <3
Of course, not all comments like this are fake. But, it's just a tad bit suspicious, isn't it, when someone who's literally NEVER been there before, comments like this?
Anyway, as much those are appreciated and can boost motivation, they can be a bit boring and uninspired.
3 - Weird comments
For example:
Story :
" . . . She could feel the tears run down her cheeks like a waterfall as she felt the light leave him. And it was all her fault, nobody else's. She shouldn't have been such a bad big sister. Now, she was alone, forever, with only the guilt of this moment to accompany her for the rest of her days."
Comment :
:(
What is the purpose of these comments, honestly? They're all just . . . weird. Perhaps they're shy, and don't want to be silent readers?
Well, anyway, I give these type of comments a 4/10.
4 - When the critic comments
For example:
Story :
" "Heeey Melanie," Jared, the bad boy, strutted towards me, da nerd, while throngs of dumb blondes ran after him, their mascara smudged as they cried. Taylor, the dumbest blonde, yelled, "Her, Jared? Seriously, but she's da NERD?""
Comment :
Hey, I'm all good with cliches, but I feel like you could improve this story by working on a few things. For one, you could change the name Taylor, and stop referring to Melanie as "Da nerd". And as for Jared . . . maybe make him a nice guy, without any blondes running after him. Also, don't make all the blondes dumb, nobody's gonna take your story seriously if you do. Also, it would be better if you wrote "Hey!" instead of "Heeey", also "Seriously? But, she's da NERD!" rather than "Seriously, but she's da NERD?". Also, add a bit more flavour to all the characters. Overall, I think you have potential, but you have to work on a few things.
Well, that was fun to write.
These comments are cool as heck, but can come off as a bit condescending to some people. They're pretty helpful though. 7/10.
5 - Weird + Critic comments
I feel like these are the SUPREME comments. For one, they comment on EVERYTHING and, after that, they'll be like, "Oh, I loved the update and the feels yesss"
For one, the critic comments help writers improve their work, and the more weird, unnecessary comments, help the algorithm pick up on the book (The more comments = The more are the chances that the algorithm will recommend it). 9/ 10.
*
I feel like that's all for comments, but seriously, comments are the best things a writer could get. For one, it motivates the writer, it shows them that you appreciate the work they put into it, and it boosts chances of the algorithm picking the book up.
Also, sorry about not updating yesterday. A few things came up.
Also, to get a tad bit personal, a secret I've been keeping was revealed, and now my friends are gonna plan a HUGE revenge, apparently. Someone protect meee ;) (@KeeraKraze79 , @shibshine if you're reading this I APOLOGIZE PLEASE SPARE MEEEE)
