Here's another chapter filled with shit I don't like on wattpad. Yes, very stereotypical, a British person complaining. Enjoy :)
The next two paragraphs were written by my amazing reader GirlishLeoGrins (I have edited it slightly):
Fucking bets. It's when 'love interest 1' bets 'love interest 2' about who is gonna sleep with her first. Like fucking hell, STOP BETTING THAT SHE IS GONNA SLEEP WITH YOU! SHE'S A WOMAN FOR GOD'S SAKE! NOT A TOY! Treat a woman with respect, she's not some play toy that you can throw around. It demeans her. Some of us get very offended by the sexism. It's NOT okay. GET THAT?
Cussing. Okay, every few sentences when they are pissed at something/someone, but every single sentence is not fine. I literally read a book that had a cuss word every two sentences. CALM DOWN AND USE SOME OTHER DESCRIPTIVE WORDS. JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE!
OK THE REST OF THIS IS BY ME:
Sitting 'indian style'. I had no idea that an entire race had a designated style of sitting. That's like saying all white guys fuck missionary style and don't know how to do anything else.
Just the fact that shit is allowed on the same website as incredible stories. Like you read a book that makes you think 'holy fucking shit, this author deserves a prize for that', and then you read a book about Justin Bieber having sex with a dog, and you wonder how this website could possibly have some incredible pieces of work and some utter shit. I really do think that there should be a ranking system of some sorts, aside from 'view count', cause some of this shit is unbelievable.
Butthurt wattpad fans. Literally if you insult one book on wattpad (probably about 1D), you'll get a huuuuuuuuge flock of fangirls on your page like WE HATE YOU BITCH GO DIE IN A HOLE AND STICK A TOTEM POLE UP YOUR ASS like calm down. It's not your book I insulted. Child, take a seat. (personally, this has never happened to me, but I've seen it happen to others). Freedom of speech. If you don't like different opinions, you shouldn't be on the internet.
That one genre of story that gets like 1 million reads for every story, like prank stories or 'my new roommate/casual fuck buddy' stories. It's literally the same plot with different names, yet eeeeeeeeeeeverybody seems to read it. I just don't understand why these particular genres are so popular. Most of the pranks are shit anyway, it's like 'ohhhh he put mustard in my sandwich instead of mayo, holy fuck, call the president, shit just got serious.' Literally, what are you, five? Pranking someone by stealing their animal crackers isn't funny -_-
People selling their books. Fair enough if you want to cash in on your wattpad fame, all power to you, there's nothing wrong with that. But those people that post like 100 chapters of a story, and you read ten chapters, then you get to the 11th and they're like 'heyyyy so you're going to have to go on Amazon and buy the rest of this book, it's only £999, but on a special promotion for my birthday it's only £996 if you buy me a birthday present, i've left a list of things I want: Spaceship, Mansion, Bugatti, A new weave, Obama in my bed.' Like bitch your story is not that good that I'm about to spend £999 on you. I would even spend £5 on you. I mean if it was someone who actually wrote a good story, like Ana Todd, then hell yeah I'd buy it. But at least she's offering something more - she's changing the books and improving them before selling them, and the free version is still available on wattpad. That's how to cash in on wattpad fame - with integrity. You don't write a story about fucking 1D when you're 13 years old, and then sell it on ebay on auction as if you're about to get millions of bids and start living that high life on the same level as Jay Z and Beyonce.
The cattyness. I remember a time where wattpad was for story lovers (shout out to my user name) to read stories. Now it's like filled with clans of prepubescent girls who write nasty sex stories about their chosen fandom, and then spend the rest of their time hating on other fandoms. I mean it's become so sad that there are some girls who actually try to become 'popular' on here. this is not high school. grow up. Trust me, I'm 18, so I've been through high school, and once you get to our age you literally do not give a flying fuck about popularity. In fact most of the popular people now work minimum wage jobs and don't do anything else with their lives. Literally, stop chasing that popularity shit, it's not worth your time. The fact that people actually try to act like fucking Regina George on wattpad, grow up -_-
f.y.i. Regina George ended up with no friends and a back brace. That pretty much sums up my point.
Ok that's pretty much it for this chapter. If you have anything else you'd like to add, send me a message about it, and i'll include it in the next chapter and dedicate it to you :)
Also, book suggestion, for everyone else who is tired of shit on wattpad: His to keep. Litearlly the most sadistic shit I've ever read but it is one of the most intellectual, well thought out, well written stories that I've ever read. I read it at the start of the year, and even now I still think about it. It's one of those stories that will stay with you for a long time. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED. IT HAS SOME DARK SHIT IN THERE. DO NOT READ IF YOUR VIRGIN EYES ARE TOO INNOCENT FOR THAT KIND OF MIND FUCKERY. Otherwise, proceed.
It's available on wattpad, and I think it's being published (yay!!! That author definitely deserves to be published!) Do make sure you read it, and comment saying that I sent you there :)
