AI380 I have been writing for about 20 years, and nobody reads my stuff. I never pay attention to views or whatever, and the only comments I get are people calling my story s*, cursing me, complaining about my main character being an idiot. I don't get a single positive comment, not even one.

Do I care? No. So why should you care? Just continue writing. If nobody reads your stuff, you're in the same boat as me. Hell, you're better off than me, you don't have to deal with people screaming at you for being retarded, and dropping your story because they didn't like how it went.

These people all want me to stop writing and demand that I delete my story. Should I listen to them? Do you think I should listen to them?

      tigre900 Imagination is always important, as long as you enjoy imaginating and writing stories or doing both at the same time is very important! And I write for this reason, For my community that I know that they will support me, and I know that they'll follow along to my stories as they imagine then with me, and also keep writing thanks to them! I appreciate that kind reply! 😁

          Tomoyuki Exactly! Why should you care, this applies to every creator, even if you are a YouTuber, A comic author, A book author, a translator, a company owner, a director, etc.
          All you should care is the work you are making that you know that most people will love it if you keep going!

              GorujoKun Actually, I'm aware that nobody likes my work, but it doesn't bother me none and I'll keep writing unless Webnovel decides to delete my story and officially requests that I stop writing for good. Even so, I'll just move to another site. Maybe back to Fictionpress.

                  I realize about the bot, I even get pirate by a few websites, which makes me even more demotivated.

                  I really love my own ideas and imagination, which is why I manage to keep writing for all these years.

                  That reminds me of people who said my story is not even worth reading just by looking at the title, without even reading it.

                        Tomoyuki to be fair I was actually thinking to moving to another site since I'm not mainly writing a novel but just stories that can revolve either Japanese or the American (basically writing stories that coukd take place in either Japan, England and America, and the names to be coming from Japan or America sooo...) way but as long as nothing happens to the novel I'm gonna write then I'll be staying to writing now.
                        I've been so been thinking to move from another site because of the "Bots" situation on Webnovels

                            GorujoKun I've been so been thinking to move from another site because of the "Bots" situation on Webnovels

                            Actually, most of the other sites have bots problem as well, one of the triggers I left my previous platform is because of the changes of their statistic system and they told me my daily of 2k views are all bots.

                                AI380 Interesting, I really thought it was just webnovels but it seems like it's not just them. Well for now I'll just keep writing here until something worse happens to the point that I might probably give up from there

                                    By the way, my web novel link is in the promotion thread, drying up like a salted fish and no one cares about it.🤣

                                      Sythcake I mean it is in the May thread since the day it's up.

                                      But once a month is a little unnoticeable, no one would bother to click in.

                                          AI380 I will always advice to hold on to ur passion, writing is a gift that people are begging to have but don't have it, so keep on pushing and don't give up

                                            I guess I will still continue writing, but at a slower pace until I found my motivation to write more.

                                            Thanks for all the encouragement and sharing of experience, I appreciate it a lot
