I think it’s annoying when authors go on rants about their amount of comments or votes and threaten to remove their book from Wattpad. If your book is good the comments and votes will come you just have to have patience. When they make statements like that I just want to tell them to remove their book because validation from your readers shouldn’t be your main reason for becoming a writer. You should love what you do regardless if you get the recognition that you think you deserve or not!

@simplychevy exactly. I mean, they are not exactly holding anyone hostage saying that and I have seen it too, but I just dismissed it as ill-placed ego and didn't realise how much it silently annoyed me until I read your status lol

@SorrowfulQuill It’s a repetitive statement that I’ve been seeing lately from a few authors. They don’t even realize that they are disrespecting the readers who are commenting and voting on their book. I might be the only vote and comment or one of many throughout your book but my recognition of your work isn’t a loss if I’m showing you support.

@Vannawhite08 I’m already reading Law of Love. I’m praying that the scene at the mall is a misunderstanding and JR isn’t cheating on Eryka because I don’t want his infidelities to be her reasoning for an abortion.

If you had a problem with a comment that I made inbox me! Courtesy costs us nothing, it's free. I was unsure if the comment was directed at me but now I know it was because after I deleted my comment the reader who was indirecting me deleted her comment. If my comment bothered you we could have discussed it privately not in the comments. I want to be educated on something if you think I'm misinformed because that's apart of growth but don't be a cyber bully.

Wattpad use to be a space for me to read and post my thoughts without judgement but it's becoming very mean girls! I guess I'll go back to being a silent reader because I'm not about to argue with strangers on the internet about fictional stories and characters that don't have anything to do with reality.

@simplychevy No! Don't let anyone beat you down! 
            A persons world is unique, and it's good to critique a world you have stepped into, for better or worse. Also, readers should not attack other readers, and an author should NEVER attack someone who has stumbled into their world.
            
            Keep being you, if people don't like that then they are deluded, and it is not worth your angry putting them right.
            
            Their loss.
