Can someone recommend something for me to read? Wattpad is not matching me very well in recommendations

Hi, can you take a look at my story please.
https://www.wattpad.com/story/322109615?utm_source=android&utm_medium=link&utm_content=story_info&wp_page=story_details_button&wp_uname=alicia_mae96&wp_originator=nEL%2FInG3OHzSGaKuh4VjmWYtqBfrQJW%2BfXo5JU9HFEPCY%2F3G%2Fj%2BnVq04KiZOP2PkNPS7HQdkizDXIo8F8zFJFe39n%2BLSJOpQE5rdevT8YcqJf1Op5EwjrA6CImyu4Ncl

Wattpad took away the community promote book section, Wattpad club message boards, the cool contests where you can get book deals or work with published authors. It is now a pay to read site. Anything else does not get exposure. Everyone in my Wattpack including my Wattpad ambassador friends but one has left Wattpad a long time ago. I do not have readers or know anyone anymore here. If anyone can see this message please let me know where the writing communities people have gone to. I was die hard loyal to Wattpad for what it did for me but I guess after all this time it is time for me to pack up and go too.

@MindyLeah I am very much in tune with your sentiments. If I can be of any help please let me know. Glyn

@OwainGlyn I have seen some people talk about new writing communities on a Wattpad profile I follow. I am looking into it. When I am in WP I feel alone. It is like sitting in the coffee bar section of the large national Barnes and Nobles commercial book shop. I follow some of my favorite Wattpad authors {like you} on Facebook etc. but it feels scattered like visiting high school alumni. I miss the "community" of Wattpad. It used to feel like a huge world in here. Something needs to be done ~ and I am nominating myself for the job of revolution. I am still here simply because of what Wattpad did for me in the past and my loyalty of being on Wattpad and no where else.

I am desperately sorry to read this but I fear you may be right. I am also considering my options.

SooOOoOoo you finally get courage to talk to the cute person you see every day on bus. But their face turns with horror and responds "wait. You're not supposed to be able to see me"

@CynthiaVarady It's a story prompt I saw. But thought it was gasp! shocking abd funny at same time.

Thomas of Hype house just announced Netflix is turning them into a reality show
MindyLeah
@QuackitySimpSMP24 but Netflix has also turned Wattpad stories into movies like The Kissing Booth etc. so it's an obtainable thin line between here anx there. I actually have a really good idea for Swayla writers and readers to work with influencers

OMG ARE YOU OK
MindyLeah
@Shoto_Todoroki_xluv I'm ok. At first my eyes swelled up with tears thinking this was it. But I been through hurricane seasons even and just calmed down and text ppl phones and came on social media to say goodbye. But I'm okay. Makes me want to hurry and finish things. Life's short

Do y'all read SMS [words written only in acronyms] books? Why do you like them or don't like them?

@ MindyLeah I don't really like them, because it isn't really fun to read them. I like story's especially because of the writing style from the author, so yeah. I like normal story's.

i usually don't purposely read them, but i'll be searching for a book and they come up quite often. i personally don't like them, just because it takes the fun out of the story. i like when people actually write books with details and specific feelings. :)
