There used to be a time where there was so much content put out on wattpad daily that you could hardly keep up with it! All genuine authentic stories; little bit untidy, little bit messy, little grammatical errors, and whole lot more personality. I miss those days. I may talk as if it has been years but it does feel like it half the time. I check out so many stories on aily basis. And as you may follow me, you'd have noticed the wide range of fandoms and tropes i read. It's not like i am consuming just one kind of content. Even then, it has so hard to find authentic books. Almost all the books, if not most, have same structure, same sentences, same emotions, same descriptions of scenes, same damn mornings!!! There is not thought process. There is no homework. I have read works of people who used to keep excell sheets to track word counts (before and after proofreading), to track connections, nicknames, and so many other things. I used to read authors who used to give us update on how she forms foundation of books and plans upcoming chapters. Literally uploaded pages of handmade notes. I miss those days. I miss reading authors who used to write themselves, bcz it used to reflect in their work. Now you can never know what an author's personality is, thoughts are based on their writings bcz they do not write themselves anymore. And if the do, it is again uploaded to some ai to proofread it. Have human proofreaders people! It is not that hard!! I miss having wattpad as my escapism bcz now it is just another reflection of the world i wanted to escape. Everyone is wearing a mask wanting to be perfect. But people, remember, wattpad started for those imperfect writers who wanted a chance in this world?

10000000% agree with you! I’d rather read a book with incorrect grammar and some spelling mistakes than any of the AI written ones. Like you said even it’s proof read by AI it’s so obvious because it just lacks emotion :(

@lazzybooks THIS!!! I don't read as much on Wattpad anymore because so many authors use AI/chatgpt to write. I remember feeling excited reading some blurbs and then opening the book feeling so disheartened, so angry seeing the same weird structure that AI apparently provides. It is incredibly sad :(
