Honestly, Inkitt feels like the better option compared to Wattpad. On Inkitt, I’m getting reads so quickly, while on Wattpad—where I’ve been active far longer, with four profiles and over 20 published stories—I still sit at zero reads, zero votes, zero engagement, even after months. Instagram promotions haven’t helped either; people drop generic comments, make promises to read, then forget. I don’t want to keep chasing or reminding them—it just feels hollow.
Meanwhile, The Dry Leaves is already getting attention on Inkitt, even though I’ve also published it on ScrollStack, Wattpad, and Ajoara with no real traction. So, going forward, Inkitt will get early updates of The Dry Leaves and They Came to Baghdad, with later updates on the other platforms.
Don’t get me wrong—I’m not ungrateful that four of my works (When The Moon Calls V1, Ohhhhhh I Still Don’t Get It, CDN Volume 03, and Bolo Kab Pratikaar Karoge) qualified for the Amby Awards 2k25 Round 2 on Wattpad. WTMC Vol 01 is also out as both Wattpad and ScrollStack editions, while everything else is Wattpad-exclusive. And yes, I truly appreciate that recognition.
But even with those qualifications, engagement hasn’t really picked up—neither on Wattpad nor on ScrollStack. On ScrollStack, WTMC Vol 01 is paid; it’s free to read on Wattpad, as are all the Wattpad-exclusive works. Still, the traction just isn’t there.
That’s why I feel Inkitt is the stronger platform overall. To be clear, I’m not planning to move or republish these particular works on Inkitt or Ajoara—I’m fine with where they are now. I just mean, generally speaking, Inkitt seems like the better option.
Hope that clears it up. Thanks.
