Thanks for the follow! I read your book on Swoonreads before I found it on here, and I'm actually surprised you don't have more reads, votes and followers.

@SecretarysCar You're very welcome. I have some experience with giving feedback, since I've been a member of a little writing club for nine years, so I think it's easier for me to know what to look for and how to write it down. If I reread your book more slowly and not just to enjoy myself, I'd maybe find some more, mainly smaller things, but that's a lot of work for a whole book. (If you want me to, I could do that for two or three chapters, or maybe a critique exchange?) And a good title sometimes just takes a lot of time to grow in the back of your mind. (At least, that's my experience, but most of my titles were for short stories.)
            
            Strictly speaking, I'm not that new anymore, but I've only started using this account a bit more than a year ago, so I don't have that many followers and readers either. (Also, most of my works are short stories and in Dutch, except for one essay and a book with LGBT+ short stories, but short stories don't seem to be all that popular.) If you want to gain more exposure, apparently you should comment a lot (but I'm mostly a silent reader), do critique exchanges, participate in contests, ... There are lots of books about it on Wattpad.
            Anyway, sorry for the long rant, but I guess I wanted to say you're definitely not the only writer who's bad at self-promo.
