Like I start writing a story but discontinue it after working hard not because Iām lazy but because Iām scared that it wonāt get that much reads and all This is the main reason I donāt write stories anymore bcz nobody is gonna effing reading it and the reason why I come back to episode every few months to see if the community is back to being alive
Honestly shouldāve published my story wayy back in 2018 since that was the prime of episode
I understand the feeling I started a new story some time easily last year I land it still have 400 reads smh I actually worked pretty hard on it but it didnāt get as much reads as my other story but tbh Iām happy I have at least 100

No, youāre not the only one girl, especially when you feel and get told how good your story is itās frustrating but discouraging as well because Iām still writing a story and I feel like not bothering anymore because there isnāt a lot of read but then again I need to finish it as I already started it and there are some people who would want to know whatās next. I think Episode should do like a page for a new story, and itāll be cool.
I understand your feeling. Itās really hard to get some reads in episode, because people have to spend tickets. Itās different from other platform like a webcomic, when I made comic, I got a million reads in just 2/3 months because people donāt have to spend anything. Thatās why I really appreciate every single read I got in episode, since people are willing to spend their limited tickets.
I personally keep writing stories, I donāt even see the rank or anything and just keep publishing because I simply enjoy it. For me, itās fun, just like playing a game. And if itās stressing me out, then Iāll stop (unless I start to get paid). Also, itās better to publish it than just keep the idea in my phone note. I suggest you keep publishing if you want to, at least for writing practice. And the most important is, you like your story and youāre having fun.
NOOO, you arenāt the only one. I have a story out and iw wasnāt to give up 24/7 because if one thing goes wrong itās really hard for me to get past it. The thing that rely gets me is when reviews tell me I have no diversity in my story, especially LGBTQIA characters, when most characters arenāt cishet. Itās also not a romanced based story, but people get so mad when itās āslow burnā. Idk it makes me frustrated how they want me to change my story to make it more to their liking.
But even before publishing, I totally understand
Butbthe quality and premise of your story are great! Smh.
