Tbh I didn't expect even 100 reads and 5 votes because of the fandom and the fantasy genre😭😭😭

(If you are curious, swipe for the name of the fanfic)

Everyone please channel your favourite wp character and motivate me to finally start writing the overdue chapter. It's been two weeks since I have typed one out 😭

PS. The pic is probably my one loyal reader right now 😿

Pls no kalesh this time 😭🙏🏻

Got inspired by you guys and tried making an edit of my ff(even though the characters are all 2D)

Lagta hai red flag antagonist se hi kaam chalana padega 🥲

Brb going for final editing and publishing

Those who were telling me why I don't promote my FF, it's because of cheesy lines like this 😭

You guys write so well I am crying rn 😭😭😭 Existential crisis mode on 🥲

Ok, study goals complete for today, let's read something.

I sit with my cup of green tea and open Wattpad. I check out one of the books lying on my reading list and getting dusty(metaphorically).

I scroll through the chapters, highly impressed with the writing of the author. Feeling the emotions of the characters to my core. And then, my thoughts spiral.

I keep comparing the plot to the plot of my book, even though the genre is completely different.

What if my original characters are not as realistic as these characters? What if my writing style is not as good? What if I get accused of using AI because I might have made the canon characters too different? Will my story hit readers in the same way (if there are any at all)?

I take a sip of the tea. Cold. Bitter. The taste lingers in my mouth.

Then I open reddit, hoping to distract myself. Instead, the first post that I see is one raving about a story of a similar genre as mine. Praising how well the characters were handled, how awesome the plot is and how it focuses on real issues with fantasy included.

Should I even continue writing? I personally feel like the plot I have planned is peak, but my writing feels mediocre and amateurish. No one will ever read it, because my idiot a$$ decided to pick up a niche under a niche category. Who in the right mind would do that?

I lock my phone. Finish my tea. Still pondering about the same thing. Breathe in some fresh air at the balcony.

All of a sudden, I feel a sting on my leg.

"F***ing mosquito," I curse out and try to smash it, but it escapes.

Will I ever be able to escape the negative web of my mind?

(Pls don't report me for inserting meme in this post 😭, this is just a personal rant)

I checked the profile and they are giving a whatsapp number (international one) and a discord link to anyone messaging them. Is this legit or another spam?

Moral of the story: put a weird af tag then you can find your book in the rankings

(Pls don't ask me for the book name mujhe shy aa raha hai 🫣)

Edit: aa gaye judge karne wale downvote lekar😈
