@NishaPsons Unless and until it is some rant book or review book. I don't read them when they are ongoing. 

@NishaPsons Tbh, I prefer reading books which are complete cuz I've no patience to wait for updates. I'll give it a try once any one of your book gets complete. 

@apoeticversee I saw the reel. I'm surely making a part of that as well. Maybe tomorrow.

this reminded me of you.

@nothing_much_2323 Hiii dear.
            I remember you.
            I can understand. 
            College can be hectic sometimes (most of the time).
            Take your time and read the book in peace.
            I'll be waiting for your comments.

@apoeticversee Aeyy! Thanks girl ♡. 

@TheManuchrome ohh..I am sad that Vihaan is single for now...But yes I will definitely try the other story.

@HaSh_browwn Initially I wanted to publish their story after completing Nimish and Mrinali's book.
            But then I thought their story plot was not that good and scrapped the idea. 
            If I can refine the plot in the near future then I'll surely publish it.
            For now I'm not sure tbh. 
            

@thesparkwithin I think I'm reading some wrong bio cuz I can't find that you like thriller or mystery. (I always check the bio before promotion) ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠˘⁠_⁠˘⁠)⁠┌
            
            Bhai chapter ke end mein I've asked questions as well as thanked them but no use (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)
            
            My reply for I've no words was sarcastic. 
            

@TheManuchrome And yes, out of all things, I do agree for the comments part. It’s easy getting reads but it’s hard getting readers (that is, if you understand the difference between reads and readers.) and getting engaging readers?? That’s literally mission impossible! 
            
            I cannot help with any of that, cuz I’m still a budding writer, but I’ve been a reader for a long time on Wattpad so let me tell you this — maybe thanking people at the end of the chapter for commenting will encourage others to comment too. Plus, if you could ask a question at the end of the chapter, that engages readers as well. Just saying by my experience as a reader.
            
            And yes, I know about the “complete your book then you’ll get reads” part. Because I myself tend to look out for completed books only. Hehe.
            
            I don’t read romance in general. Romance as a sub plot is GOLD, but I’m not a fan of any book that’s purely romance. So whether it’s simple or complex it doesn’t matter.
            
            Saying “I have no words” is just a filler... Like people write bullshit during board exams just to fill in the word limit lmao.
            
            I used ma’am because I say that to every person IRL too when I’m being sarcastic or serious. It’s nothing against you, dw!! And if you don't want me to say it, I wont (or I will— lmao, kidding.)

@TheManuchrome ok wait firstly I didn't actually think you'd reply so THIS IS SOMETHING NEW OMG
            
            well ok yea maybe I did go a bit overboard BUT if you really think story promotions on someone else’s message board is a good way of gaining authors... You do you, then.
            
            And about the fact that you said in my bio I haven’t mentioned that I do not want promotional messages, well, in my bio I did mention I like to read only thrillers or mysteries. Did you check THAT out? I’m not even sure whether you checked my bio before posting the promotion or not.
            
            Btw I’m curious at how you even found my account lol (you can reply if you want to)

Thank you so much for the amazing advice. Everything you said about tags, having a catchy cover and description, and especially the importance of patience really resonated with me. It’s so good to hear from someone who has been through the process.
            I especially appreciate your tip to focus on one book at a time. It’s a great piece of advice, and I wanted to let you know I'm definitely taking it on board. I actually finished writing my first book already, I'm just uploading the chapters daily to keep a consistent schedule for my readers. 
            The second one is just a little side project, but my main focus is absolutely on getting the first one out there. I hope you don't think I'm ignoring your advice—it's truly valuable!
            
            Thank you again for taking the time to share your wisdom with a new writer like me!

@anraa21 I think it actually depends on the tags you use. 
            The description and cover page, both should be catchy enough. 
            Because I honestly didn't do anything as such. 
            Also a lot of patience is required because in the start I didn't get any reads and votes but I still kept writing.
            One more piece of advice I'd like to give is that
            "Focus on only one book at a time."
