There are a ton of great books on wattpad. The reason why I don’t use it almost at all anymore is because the stories are sometimes left with no ending and I also hate having to wait.

Yes! I have a friend Stateside who writes wonderful NASCAR fanfiction, I appreciate that's not everyone's cup of tea but if you're into it, she's amazing. She's pretty popular too with a lot of readers. She designs beautiful covers for the books and uses gifs in the stories themselves.

But I do agree, some books on there are unfinished, I wrote one chapter and then stopped. But, that's on me, I can't seem to read or write in that genre anymore.

I definitely think there are some gems on wattpad. I remember the day that I found “After” on wattpad. The only downfall is sometimes having to wait for the next chapter to be released.

There are some real gems on Wattpad, but you have to sift through a LOT of not-so-great stories to find them.

I used to read so many books on Wattpad. In fact my early teenage years were spent reading almost exclusively from there. Most of the books that I read were not well written, but they were still enjoyable. There are definitely some really good books on Wattpad, that are well edited with a driven and interesting plot, but they are rare.

There are! My library is filled with good books but it's difficult to find books nowadays that have a solid plot. If any of you have any books on Wattpad, I'm open to hear any suggestions!

It is a good device and has a good variety of books to choose from. but the other competitors in the market are providing more choice.

There are good books on Wattpad but it has become a popular source of fan fiction over time. More books have been buried that way. I haven't browsed Wattpad since middle school, but I believe there are always hidden gems regardless of the source.

I like Wattpad really. There are really good books to read and comfortable platform to write. But what I don't like is that there are too much books that will never be finished or are badly written.

I think Wattpad is a great platform and great idea. I also think if you look hard enough you can find those diamonds in the rough, those amazing writers or even beginner writers who you can tell have potential. That being said, I feel like most of the stories are basically the same and you do have to go through a lot of searching and reading to find something that you'll like.

There are good books, but you have to look for them. However, there are some books that are badly-written or unfinished that you would have to look through to find good books.

There are some reasonably great books on wattpad but it highly depends on your luck and preferences. I was on wattpad a couple of years ago when I was still a teen, I started reading a few books but however could never finish any of them. It's a great startup for newbie readers.

I think there are great books on Wattpad. Up until now, I still love reading Wattpad books.
