Yes. There are many talented writers in Wattpad. There are many well written books. I am a fan of fanfictions and love how people have experimented with the characters and plots. I am currently reading Stall by Mysterymixtapes. So far I am loving the storyline. However there are some awesome stories that don't updated. So I try to read only the ones that are completed.

I love Wattpad. Yes, there are bound to be some not-so-good books because they allow self-publishing. But there are great authors there too! I recently found a beautifully written historical novel there, titled "A Simple Deception" by Laura Bell. And I read some of her other works and fell in love with her writing style. (P.s she's my new favourite author there)

Yes I love Wattpad They have some really interesting books to read the only drawback is when the authors don't continue to write or leave a book unfinished for months so better check before selecting any books from there.
Reading is like opening a door to another world :techie-studyinggray: :techie-reference:

I'm dealing with the same issue too; I started reading a book a few years ago and it still isn't finished. But with that being said, there are a lot of good books on Wattpad.

There might be a few good books on Wattpad, but most of the others are just stories written by teens and don't have any meaning to it.

Wattpad is actually what got me into reading when I was in junior high. I have a soft spot for it and there are some amazing books on there, you just need to look. I don't have the patience to wait for an author update so I usually just pick books that are already finished lol.

Wattpad like any other online library has its upsides and downside. It has some amazing books, authors and good interactions. But ooh the thrill you get in just starting a new book and living someone elses life . Although depending on preference opinions may vary

Definitely! Though it's a rarety nowadays. Many great authors left the site to start their own careers, while others got busy with life. So, about 85% of the books now are not as good sadly.
