I hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way, but I’ve been feeling a bit demotivated lately. I notice that many trending stories seem to rely heavily on AI or have noticeable coding errors, yet they still pull in massive read counts and praise.As a beginner writer, I’ve poured hours into coding and crafting an original plot, so it’s a bit disheartening to see it struggle for visibility. Is this standard for the app right now? I'd love to know how other new authors stay motivated or get their stories noticed in the community. Also, I do receive wonderful DMs from readers, which I truly appreciate, but I'm hoping to figure out how to encourage more public fan mail which makes me really sad tbh lol. Any promotion tips or advice on engaging the community would be greatly appreciated!❤️

I am just curious if anyone would read a story with full CC but not not with the option to change the name of the MC. Pls help out guyssss [this is my first story]

I am currently learning coding and starting a new story. As much as I loveeeee writing and am enjoying this [although its very challenging] i m constantly being doubtful if my story will even get reads or will people even enjoy reading it as much as i enjoy writing it? Cuz i have seen a lot of advanced coding from many authors and i m not sure if my first story can reach their creativeness yet. Is there any new authors like me in this community who are feeling the same way as I do? Its very embarrasing to even post this but i needed to let it out my chest.
