What can I do better? [CLOSED] This wasn't what I wanted this thread to be :(

So I have recently been trying to get reads for my story by doing R4R’s and promoting and stuff.
I asked for feedback, which I love, but some of it makes no sense.
If you have read my story, or want to, what am I doing wrong?
I want to try and see what I can add or fix to keep readers reading my story because it seems like everytime someone responds, they won’t be finishing my story.

Genre : Drama

Thank you so much! So please tell me what I am doing wrong? Or is it just because I’m a new author…

In all honesty R4R didn’t really work for me

I mafe friends and promoted my stories on IG

That way your story gets seen and authors start to follow you

I dont like R4R.
Firstly because I have to read a whole bunch of stories, and as I have specific taste in them, I don’t enjoy most of them.
Secondly, do u really need these synthetic reads?
Your goal should be to create an awesome story that will be enjoyed by readers.
I find that best promotion u can do is on Instagram and participating in contests.
Also if you want to make ur story better, n u feel like u can use other people opinions, which is good, I suggest to apply your stories for reviews. Harsh reviews, because what I found most of the reviewers are too soft in their evaluation, cause probably are afraid to offend people (especially if there are R4R reviews).

That’s what I did for my stories R4R I thought was pointless…

But I will do it for anybody who asks me

#19

Well if you feel like doing it - nothing wrong with that.

I personally feel like it’s a useless waste of my time. If I give a review, and I feel like it’s gonna be taken into account, then I make some kind of difference. But to read a few episodes, and give writers a tiny amount of happiness because they get 2-3 more reads…

I only do it when somebody asks me…

I don’t have time to read every single story.

I promote small authors on my IG page, I started it a few weeks ago by using an old account… There I help authors who haven’t got anywhere.

I got a lot of hassle a few weeks ago because I follow ‘big authors’ but I’m promoting for small authors.

I have posted on it and I will continue to do so as long as I don’t get hassle for trying to be nice…
