This is just a personal rant, something I’ve been noticing and feeling lately, so I’m putting it out here. I’ve been seeing two things over the past few months that are starting to get to me, and it’s not aimed at any one specific author just a general observation from what I’ve seen with several authors.  Galiyan dena allowed hai mujhe ( crying emojis) 
          	
          	1 RANT : I completely understand that authors have personal lives, emergencies can happen, and things don’t always go as planned. That’s human. But what I can’t respect is ghosting. Over the past few months, I’ve noticed a trend—many authors promise consistency, but then disappear for months without updates or communication. Some even delete their books without a word. And suddenly, they return, post chapters, and start demanding "THOUSANDS" of votes and comments. Then they rant about how readers don’t meet their ‘TARGETS.’ But let’s be real—it often goes the other way around.  
          	
          	2 RANT : Another thing I’ve been noticing over the past few months is that some authors keep saying, ‘Wattpad doesn’t pay us, so it’s my choice when and where I post my book’ (referring to other platforms like SS). And yes, that’s fair—it’s your book, your hard work, and your decision. No one denies that. But let’s also be real—while Wattpad may not be paying you directly, it is giving you loyal readers. Readers who wait, support, and build your audience with you. You generate your reader base here, and then those same people follow you to other platforms and pay for early chapters or full books. I’m also a paid reader for several authors, so saying ‘Wattpad gives us nothing’ isn’t completely true either.

@gand_m_danda_dedungi I completely understand your points....but I assure you that none of it will happen with my books. I mean to say that I won't be ghosting myself...Pls pls pls give my book a chance....
          	  Hey! I know this might be unexpected, but I’d love for you to check out my book, THE UNYIELDING | ʙᴏᴏᴋ 1 ᴏꜰ 'Forever Unbound' ꜱᴇʀɪᴇꜱ
          	  ✅It’s a story about challenging patriarchy, misogyny, and sexism, and breaking societal norms and double standards.
          	  ✅Each chapter is 10,000+ words, taking me 9-10 days to write. But I’ll update 1,000 words daily so you won’t have to wait too long.
          	  ✅I’m a new writer, and your support—whether you read or just give it a chance—would mean so much to me.
          	  ✅If it’s not your thing, no worries! You can delete this message. But if you do give it a try, I’d be truly grateful for your feedback.
          	  Thank you for reading!

@orinthophily @noorreadsalot yes if we say something their blind followers start attacking and say we are being toxic that's why I only read stories of specific authors only

Hii!  I hope you don't mind me dropping by — I just wanted to share my book Kalyani with you, in case it's something you'd enjoy!
          It's set in 1840s Maharashtra and follows Kalyani, a young woman who marries a widowed landlord with infant twins — and slowly, quietly, finds her own voice in a world that never asked for it. It's not quite a romance, not quite a tragedy — more a story of self-discovery, colorism, and the beginnings of women's education in India, with just a pinch of romanticism threaded through.
          Would love it if you gave it a read whenever you have time ✨

@edgy3ams Hi! I was actually reading The Unasked even before you shared it here.  I just stopped for a while because I was waiting for a few more chapters to be updated so I could read them all in one go.
            Looking forward to continuing it!

Hey, Ikaa here!
          I know I’m posting this without asking you first, but… if you’d like, would you try reading my book , Between Lattes and Laaltains  ?
          
          Some love stories don’t begin with fireworks ...they begin with a quiet cup of coffee and a lantern-lit silence.
          
          In a world where one person hides behind carefully built walls and the other carries a heart far too soft for their own good,their paths cross, unexpectedly. 
          
          Amidst warm lattes, glowing laaltains, shared glances, and unspoken confessions, they learn that love doesn’t always arrive loudly…
          Sometimes, it slips in gently, changing everything without warning.
          
          Between Lattes & Laaltains is a slow, tender, old-school romance…between an Army officer Theth Pahadi and a city girl doctor.
           Here emotions simmer softly, conversations feel like poetry,and two imperfect people slowly learn to meet halfway.
          
          Tropes:
          ✨ Slow-burn romance
          ✨ Army officer × doctor 
          ✨ Rom - com 
          ✨ Emotional intimacy
          ✨ Protective ML × Strong-but-soft FL
          ✨ Small meaningful moments
          ✨ Facing daily life  challenges with  love
          ✨ Heart-melting banter
          
          If you want to step into this warm, comforting world, here’s the link , 
          :- Between Lattes and  Laaltains...

Hey there, dear reader! 
          
          I hope you're having a great day! 
          If you're up for reading requests, I'd be really glad if you could check out my book "The Hate Pact". It's a saga of love, hate, thriller and suspense. (I'm sorry if this message disturbed you ^^ )

          New BOOK LAUNCH !!  
          
          In the outskirts of the city of Murkam, witches are allowed to breathe. In this state, Ruhi struggles to discover her identity and falls into the fate of  ancient elemental powers far greater than she ever imagined. As destiny unfolds, three other women from vastly different worlds-a pirate's daughter, a royal trapped in a palace, and a cunning courtesan-are unknowingly drawn toward the same fate. 
          Bounded by secrets, curses, and lost legends, their paths collide to form a single journey: a **Qafila** destined to change their world. But as hidden powers awaken and dangerous truths surface, the four women must decide-will they embrace their destiny, or be destroyed by it?
