I know you are confused in the field of writing stories but I hope you don't give up and continue your journey. Because the number of followers, reads, votes and comments is not the basis for discovering your own novel.
Naniniwala ko mag bubunga rin ang pag tyatyaga mo kaya sulat lang ng sulat hanggang sa mapag tagumpayan mo to. Don't focus on how many reads and votes your story has. Focus on improving your craft and don't compare yourself with other writers because they also start at the bottom.
Kung mahal mo talaga ang pag susulat , go ahead at wag na wag ka rin magpapa apekto sa mga nakikita mo.
