Looking for friends!

hey fellow strangers , 17F here.

no creeps in my DMs please. i'm looking for genuine friends.

not someone who's gonna ask how're you doing, what you like and all for an hour, and then just disappears. I want us to be in contact, share some funny moments of their day, or wtv stuff.

and no, its not like im lonely. ive friends in real life, I just want someone online, yk? friendly way, again.

im a reader, and I started reading since I was 7. I like all genres, soft romance, dark romance, mystery, suspense, non fiction, what not.

Im a book writer as well, tho I just started posting on wattpad recently.

I sketch too!

I love listening to music. Fav singers include Taylor Swift, Conan Gray, Arjit Singh.

I love supportive people.

thats all, peeps.

🤭IT IS SO CUTE ISTG

Indian enemies to lovers, where the first chp starts with her catching him watching the senior guys ragging newbie juniors.

She's his junior.

A slow, slow burn, where he falls first AND harder.

the FL isnt a weak doormat, but someone who Actually stands up to him. Sassy lines mixed w his flirting.

Him offering her protection after something goes wrong at their college, standing up for her.

She's a kathak dancer as well.

this story has suspense, mystery, which revolves around the college hierarchy being involved in large scale cheating, the FL somehow getting caught in it, the ML giving her his support.

(PS- it has a whole chp of him admiring and yearning for her.)

Bad boy X good girl

Green flag ML

gujrati X Maharashtrian

Friends.

just like the title said. and no, its not like I dont have any friends. I do. im talking about online friends, on wattpad. where we can both support each other equally. r4r, f4f and then the voting, and commenting stuff if we like it.

also, no dumping me. I tried ts w alot of writers, but most of them just leave it in the middle and disappear. no such shit.

small writers like me know how tough it is to find constant, common readers.

if youre a writer, lets be friends and do this genuinely.

if youre a reader, kindly give my books a try and be my friend too.

genuine thing, fr.

If you wanna cry...

Try reading life's mess by author_aaruuu

the book is so overwhelming, youre gonna need to take a breather from chapter to chapter.

It's ongoing, non fiction.

Two POVs, but not at all a love story or anything of that sort.

Completely realistic, too many TWs.

TWs- self harm, suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, what not.

give it a try and lemme know your thoughts.

Veil of the throne by albatales

sooo ye mere top 10 in India mai tha, and I checked it out, and its pretty good.

not over the top or anything, like I thought it would be due to the ai cover.

even the story seems written by the author herself and not ai, which is admirable.

it is pretty fast paced though, yes.

but I dont understand ki yaar ye story start hui April 27,2026 ko, and like aaj latest update tha. bhai itnu se dino mai she has around 146K views, plus votes bhi har isme 500+ hai aaram se. even the comments are 50+ on each chapter.

yaar itni engagement milti kaise hi? im writing a book too, ek mahine se, and around 15 chps upload kiye hai, but mere views 400 ke around hai, bas. votes toh aur bhi kam, like around 10 par chp. bas 4-5 comments too, har chp pe.

the only diff is ki meri story mature 18+ nahi hai, and thoda slow-burn hai.

and enemies to lovers. yaar mehnat same kar rhe hai toh aisa variation kyu? this is so unfair.

Chains of convenience by unseenmuseee (review)

AAHHHH. This book was so good. I just completed reading it, and I already miss Siddharth and Samaira.

This whole book was so cute, and Sid is a total green carpet.

I love how the author didnt make the FL a doormat, but a strong character w actual backbone.

also loved the side characters like Braids and Rohan!

(spoilers below)

the wedding scenes, the real slow burn between them, the adoption, and the baby birth? plus her abduction and his devastation was cherry on top.

I live to read books like this.

the ending was a bit rushed, but the book has 60 chps, and they got intimate in the last 5. like, hell. But it was so beautiful.

Author did an amazing job.

I'm recommending this cute enemies to lovers to everyone this week, tho Sid had fallen hard for Samaira long ago 🤭

(this is NOT self promotion. Though she definitely is the type of writer I wanna be, and shes so successful too. She deserves it.)

Doing V4V, R4R, C4C

ONLY if your book meets the following criterias:-

  1. Reading time is less than 2 hours

  2. There are less than 20 chapters (which is relevant to the first point), it might be ongoing or completed.

My book is a desi enemies to lovers, ongoing, w hindi dialogues with english translations provided.

if we like each others book, we can give each other a follow as keep reading if either of us uploads new chapter as well.

lemme know if anyone's interested so I can give ya the link.

also, you guys have to START with ME.

ive seen many writers on this sub doing this but then getting ditched by the readers, so I dont want that.
