《How To: Get More Reads On Wattpad》A Word Of Advice
Advertisement
This is not a chapter to help you gain reads, if you choose to not read this chapter then that is fine by me but this may be useful to you.
Despite this book's focus being on gaining reads, I'd like to share a word of advice. Reads do not determine how good your book is, never think because you don't have thousands that your book is a pile of crap. It isn't. Trust me.
When I wrote my first book on here, another author began writing her first book as well. Both of our books were SciFi, both had similar themes and for a while I had far more reads than her. I felt like my story must have been better than hers because of this fact- I was wrong. We both hit 1k reads at around the same time and the gap in our read counts became slimmer and slimmer. Until one day she overtook me.
I will admit that in the first few months of writing I was obbessed with reads, I craved them and felt jealous of people with more reads than me. This writer who wrote a book at the same time as me went on to gain thousands more reads while I remained at 1k. She is now on something like 30k and my past self would be bitter but I have learnt from this that comparing your success to someone else's isn't the way to go in life. There will always be someone with more reads than you, someone who has more votes or comments but you can't automatically think they are better.
Be comfortable in the amount of reads you have, be confident in your story. This message may seem contradictory to the whole concept of this book and I can see that. This guide is for people who, like my old self, felt validation from reads. Or simply believe they deserve more reads then they have.

Polaris Dark
This is not the most expensive nor the first VRMMORPG of the third decade in the twenty-first century. [The Millennium Ascedency], otherwise known simply known as ""Ascendency"" to the public, became the number one game in the Japanese gaming community within three months. Soon after, the world joins in on the action, bringing it to the spotlight in the entertainment sector and is the reigning champion of popularity two years after the launch. Both men and women are into this game, both casual and professional players can be found... So what will happen when a curious young girl encounters this game without the intention to play? Will she become another gamer that is lost in the masses or will she prove to be someone that changes the VR world forever? [This is rated 18+ for blood, gore, suggestive content, sexual violence, coarse language and other mature content not intended for a younger audience.

At this point, my wish for something more unique has pretty much gone down the drain. I will have to put this on story on an indefinite hiatus until the popularity of the Virtual Reality Stories has gone down or else this story may get fully dropped. I sincerely apologize for those who liked the story and wish for it to continue.] >>> I am currently working on a new story that is of another genre.

Cardinal of Sin
They say sin comes at a horrible price. Or...perhaps I'm misremembering the saying. Regardless, I'm usually inclined to agree with the aforementioned statement. When one is held hostage by their own carnal instincts; never being able to fully control their primitive impulses...Well, let's just say, it would destroy a lesser man. That, I know. I died because of my lack of self-control, after all. I must admit, though. I didn't expect to change this belief of mine after meeting my end, but here I am. Breathing. In a world I don't belong; a world of magic. Here I am, whisked into another reality with the power to sin. To conquer.
