My Opinion

Completed

I dont really know if I'm the only person that does this but since I've been on Wattpad for a while I dont really read ongoing books anymore.

And tbh I'm glad I don't because it's really hard to read these books then re-read a few previous chapters every six months the author updates.

It legit stresses me out.

I know authors have a life out of Wattpad like college, high skl, jobs or kids. And they also have to deal with real-life issues like sicknesses, diseases, deaths, accidents etc BUTTTTT IT KILLS ME WHEN THEY TAKE FOREVER TO UPDATE THE DAMN BOOK

Like sometimes I have to re-read 3 previous chapters to understand the updated one

Sometimes I don't know some of the characters names and so they're like

She leaned in and kissed Josh

And then I'm like Josh??? Who is Josh?

Sometimes they leave the book on a 4 yr hold or they're on a hiatus or they discontinue the book and I'm left completely devastated.

So the reason this rant is even a thing is because this lovely book I'm reading is on hold or discontinued (the author hasn't made up their mind yet) and I'm DEVASTATED.

Like how dare you lead me on for 14 chapters then tell me you're hella stressed and then end the book instantly like HAVE YOU NO DECENCY????

Okay I understand college is not easy to juggle along with the responsibility of writing a book and making sure it's lovely af and that's why I stress the point of ppl not publishing books unless they have some chapters written down because when life becomes hard you have a few extra chapters pre-written and you don't have to worry.

You could even complete the book edit it etc before you publish it if you know that you are in college or high skl etc and it's going to be hard to publish an ongoing book.

Take into consideration the readers too, ppl.

I'm not trying to be mean or anything this is just MY OPINION.

Yours can be left in the comment section. Basically asking you to comment btw.
