@ MeniirwastakenFUCK  im waiting for it man

@karvenman Yeah, OP MCs, self-inserts, harems—I can stomach those, though most of the time they just fall into the same story loop and with every story you read with the same premise, it becomes repetitive.
            
            What I can't stomach is exactly that. Poor grammar and horrendous structuring. How hard is it to use quotation marks instead of individually writing down the name and putting a colon then writing the dialogue INSIDE of a quotation mark? Not to mention being hit with a giant wall of text that is supposed to be the action scene.
            
            These are the type of stories that are getting the most attention and I have to take my time to really dig to get stories that are worth the read. Time, which I have less and less these days.

@MeniirwastakenFUCK oh wait, so that's what was going on. I was reading this fanfic and I just felt like something was off, but holy shit the book didn't have any punctuations, or a coma for that matter. Like, there were only paragraphs without punctuation. Also my standards have definitely gotten higher as I kept reading, and certainly higher than my first fanfic—which I've dropped cause I made the MC op and even I got bored—and I've been dropping books a lot more often than usual because of those exact things you mentioned : op MC, harems, self inserts. Though the reason that pains more than every single one of these is poor grammar. I swear poor grammar puts me through more pain than any bad writing ever has—or perhaps even can. It's something that really gnaws at my brain the wrong way

            I'm talking about how they are structured and written.
            
            How hard is it to write using proper punctuation marks? They're built in to your keyboards, it's definitely easy than using -,| |, or screenwrite style for conveying someone to speak.
            
            It may be just me, but it bothers me a lot. For someone who reads actual books in my spare time, it feels like I'm subjected to mental torment.
            
            The poor writing, coupled with the excessive cringe completely destroyed any notion of me wanting to continue reading the story. And I've dropped A LOT in the first 5 chapters because of it.
            
            Don't get me wrong, the stories ARE interesting, the plot looks promising. There are a lot of good examples of this. The generic tropes can be made interesting by good writing.
            
            Rhodes Island's psychologist, Starsfall, Visitors from Terra, and a bunch of other stories who's name I forgot, manage to make it work because of good writing.
            
            Now, they still have flaws. The plot seems rushed, the writing itself being not-so good, but otherwise it's fine.
            
            Now, the quality of writing differs greatly between Wattpad, FF, and AO3, but due to accessibility, Wattpad seems to have the major shareholder of teens starting to write. That's fine, people have to start somewhere, and hey, maybe I'll end up enjoying their stories. But for now, I'm not gonna subject myself in torment because I love my mental health.
            
            If Wattpad had a review system like in RoyalRoad, I'll gladly force myself to read a story and write a review in the hopes people will atleast consider using proper punctuation marks. That way, people can see what type of story it is without having to go through the entire thing to find out.
            
            
            
            I wrote this story for around 3 hours now, took a pause to eat, but yeah. That's it, I guess.
            
            See you next year.
