I’m glad that a lot of us want sub-genres and “recommended for you based on what you read” options. These are what I suggested as well.
It’s high time there’s something done for smaller authors. Anything they can do, is appreciated. Because right now most of us are left on our own.
And regarding the creator’s contests, maybe there’s a way in which all the contest entries can be found in the same place on the app during the decision time. Readers can scroll through and choose which plots excite them and read it. This can level the playing field instead of the smaller authors trying every small thing to get the minimum amount of reads.
The winners can be showcased on the app after the decisions have been made, on a special shelf.
