That link will take you to a page with lots of books that can help answer your questions. Just remember, writing is a creative art. For every successful artist, there are a thousand who don’t make it ‘big’. If you’re only writing for the comments and votes, you’re writing for the wrong reasons. Also, books with higher reads get recommended more. There are ways to artificially higher your reads, but I’d rather not say how because it’s not the right way to publish a book. If you want fame on Wattpad, you’re better off writing fanfiction than original stories. Did you know that After, the most popular book on Wattpad, is fanfiction? Just try to keep a consistent update schedule, interact with your followers to keep them engaged and make sure your spelling/grammar is correct, and you will attract the kind of people that you want to read your book. Even if you only get 10 reads, they will be readers who genuinely enjoy the story rather than just reading for the sake of it. Hope that helps!
