Looking For Honest Feedback on My Wattpad Story... Is This Something You would Actually Read?

Hi everyone,

Writing has been a huge passion of mine for a long time, and I’m currently working on a story that I hope to eventually publish beyond Wattpad one day.

Right now, the version available on Wattpad is still the original, unedited first draft. While I continue writing new chapters, I’ve also been going back through my original documents to revise and edit them, fixing spelling, grammar, continuity issues, and other mistakes that slipped through during the initial writing process. Because of that, some of the chapters posted online don’t fully reflect the edits that are currently being made behind the scenes.

I’m looking for honest, unbiased feedback from readers. Not just on the writing itself, but on the story as a whole.

If you picked this up in a bookstore, would it be something you’d actually want to keep reading? Does the plot feel engaging? Do the characters hold your interest? Are there any points where your attention starts to drift?

I’ve participated in a few review-for-review and book club programs on Wattpad, so my earlier chapters have accumulated quite a few comments and suggestions. However, once those organized reviews ended, the later chapters received little to no engagement, which makes it difficult to gauge genuine reader interest.

I know every writer dreams that their story could become something bigger, and I’m no exception. I’d love to hear from readers who can tell me honestly whether this story has potential, what works, what doesn’t, and what would make you more invested in it.

Constructive criticism is absolutely welcome. I’d rather hear the truth than receive empty praise.

Thank you to anyone willing to take the time to read and share their thoughts. It genuinely means a lot.

XOXO Siren

My Wattpadstory: When the bloodmoon rises (Vampire, slowburn, enemies to lovers, written in german)

Firstly its a boyslove and dark psychology 'romance' story!

Its not finished yet, but i published 10 Chapters already and the plot is about to start.

As i said already, its not a english book, its written in german since that is my first language! And warning it really is a slowburn romance and it can happen that they will fall in love in the second book i have planned!

My wattpadname: Violetredberry

The Story is about:

Korea, 1950:

A young man inherits his recently deceased father's estate and company—a business that has manufactured gunpowder and all manner of weapons for generations.

However, a long, cold war looms, forcing him to flee with his mother to South Korea—specifically to the renowned trading city of Busan.

There, he meets his future wife and her brother—a man who harbors more startling secrets than one might imagine.

Not only is he charming and captivating, but his gaze hungers for blood—the blood of his next victim.

Questionnn✍️

Hey everyone! Serious question.
What do you guys like reading about in stories? I don’t mean a specific kind of plot—I mean little details or writing styles you really enjoy.

For example: when authors mention everyday objects, describe food, incorporate science, music, or art, mix different genres, etc.
I need ideas

Introducing DIWA: A Coming-of-Age Epic Fantasy Inspired by Pre-Colonial Philippines

What if Pre-Colonial Philippines Became the Setting for an Epic Fantasy?

I’ve just published the complete First Arc of DIWA on Royal Road and Wattpad!

DIWA is a coming-of-age epic fantasy adventure inspired by pre-colonial Philippine history, mythology, folklore, and culture. Rather than retelling history, it imagines an original adventure unfolding across an archipelago inspired by the decades leading up to Magellan’s arrival, where rival clans, ancient traditions, forgotten legends, and powerful realms shape the fate of the world.

The opening arc is now fully available on both platforms, featuring a prologue, author’s note, four complete chapters, and chapter illustrations—approximately 5,600 words in total.

Prologue
Centuries ago, long before the Japanese occupation, before the American occupation, before the Spanish came to colonize the archipelago, and fifteen years before Ferdinand Magellan first set foot upon its shores, the islands now known as the Philippines were divided among four great realms: Hilagat in the north, Kanluran in the west, Timog in the south, and Silangan in the east.

These realms were ruled by powerful clans, each vying for resources, territory, and influence.
This is the story of a young boy whose goal, not unlike many of us, was simply to earn his father’s approval.
Little did he know, he would find himself at the center of a story that would change the fate of the realms forever.

I’m also planning to release a fully produced audiobook in the future, featuring professional voice acting, original music scoring, and cinematic sound design to bring the world of DIWA to life.

If you decide to give it a read, I’d love to hear your thoughts:

What stood out to you?
What did you enjoy most?
What moments or characters resonated with you?
What are you excited to see in future chapters?

And if you have any constructive feedback on the writing, pacing, dialogue, worldbuilding, or characters, I’d genuinely appreciate hearing it. I’m always looking for ways to improve.

Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to read DIWA and share their thoughts. I truly appreciate it.

Read The First Arc of DIWA Here!

Edit: Since a few people asked about the artwork, I spoke with my illustrator about their workflow, citing possible similarities to AI-generated concept art. This was their explanation:

None of the character illustrations were generated by AI. The artwork was created in Procreate using a combination of digital painting techniques and reference-based workflows.

For example, some tattoo patterns, accessories, and textile references were gathered from reference materials, then manually warped, clip-masked, painted over, recolored, and blended into the character designs using brushes and hand painting.

This workflow is a form of photobashing and has been used by professional concept artists for many years. The goal is to speed up the creation of realistic textures and details while still requiring artistic judgment to compose, transform, and integrate everything into a cohesive illustration. It’s similar to digital collaging.

I understand why some people might have mistaken it for AI, since modern AI image generators often emulate the same concept art aesthetic. But I wanted to clarify the process behind these illustrations in the spirit of transparency and artistic integrity.

Hope this clarifies things.

I need feedback

It’s my first wattpad story, and has a few chapters which I’ve poured my heart into. It’s a mafia romance story and has a lot of sub-genres. I dont have many readers which is quite upsetting since I don’t know how to get more readers.

If you have a wattpad story and it became famous or you got a lot of readers could you please read mine and leave a feedback? If you don’t have a wattpad story I’d still love feedback from you as well!

Had an idea… need feedbacks :)

Hey! So…

I’m outlining a five-book interconnected romance series set at a prestigious boarding academy in New Hampshire.
Every book follows a different couple from the same friend group, so each one has its own romance trope and can appeal to different readers while still advancing one overall timeline.
It includes:
- Boarding school / academia setting
- Elite hockey team
- One couple per book
- Different romance trope in each book
- Found family
- Ensemble cast
- Slow burns
- Banter
- Emotional character arcs
- Autumn and winter atmosphere
- Sports rivalry
- Happy endings

Is this something you’d pick up?
If not, what would make it more interesting?

Anti A.I author

Hello, people!

I just published two chapters of my first book on wattpad, hoping for future opportunities.

I'm a 26F, graduated with a law degree. I was miserable for seven years of my life, so I had decided about 2 years ago to pursue my true passion, which is writing, of course.

It had been difficult, since a lot of people had been using A.I to write and/or help with their books, and unfortunately, those are the books that gain popularity and views. I, however, resent that! I want the author's personality in the book, I want it to be human, and I want to feel what the author felt as they wrote the scenes.

I hope if you ever come across my story, you'll click it and feel just that!

Love you!!! xx
